In the red desert of the rising sun
Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)
readjusting through normalities
of their routines
the walking sleepers
make their way
metaphors morph
Into urban landscapes
From nightmares of the
Unconscious
serene skies
of glittering moons within its
shifting planes
dream like exodus
where boundaries of self
melt without its center
individuality fades
into the stillness of its quiet
memories of their generations
wiped away with the tide
ravaged by their fate
community struggles
with the will they bare
lines of people on the shore
holding candles to a stary sky
tossing flowers to the sea
where harps sing to liquid moon
seasons breath fades away in the night
to voices of the dead and ghosts laid to rest
buddhas hand in whitened robes
ceremonial rituals and rites begin
to pass away their dead
sandals and walking sticks
in the wake of bones remained
wandering spirits
transmissions
to another world to
the place we all return
to open skies blue as waves
through the meadows
of autumn lives
flowers lie down
to transparency of early winds
souls set free amidst the clouds
within the shadows of kurosawa's dreams
prophecies for the living
to return to ones beginnings
and live life as its meant to be
simplicity in harmony with natures way
look within to rebuild again
to live within thier means
to put trust back to the land
and live in balance once again
