Reverie

Tony Woodward 1946 (Cheshire)



Reverie

Forest gaze
Shamisen
Rain
A
Long
Sigh

Older now

Music plays
Always plays

Older now

Adrift in thought
Always music
without which

Nothing

And
1t
Plays

Older Now

Melodies

Words

And It plays
 
Still it rains
Here
High
On
The
Hill

A Million
Acres
of
Forest
A Window On The Soul

A storm
The Forest as Ocean

Still it plays

Another window

A different reality

Waking dreams

Dreams

Dark dreams

Dreams of wonder

 Fear

 Ecstasy

 Floats adrift
among
the
stars

Always music

Always

Where will it go

The night has fallen
Almost
Unnoticed

Reverie
Music
Shamisen,Flutes,Strings
and
A Japanese Girl
Sings

Floating again

Phaedra

A long night’s
Journey
to the essential soul

Consciousness
as a
Construct?T

Intelligence as an excuse ?

Love as an illusion ?
