At the park today

Let me just say I love Westmount Park. Its got such a good vibe. I went there today, and apparently it is Westmount Family Day, so there was all sorts of things going on. . .food vendors and clothing vendors and information booths and music and three massive bouncy castles and rock climbing walls and a zip line over the pond, and rafting lessons. I enjoyed wandering around looking at everyone enjoying the fun. Then found a quiet spot to sit and read for a bit, then found another quiet spot to doodle and write a bit. So, I might as well share what I doodled and mused.

A flash of light

in bleakest night 

a rap on cellar door

bar lifted

meaning shifted

in durance held no more

I flew with you 

through twilit valleys

and felt what it was to feel

and now you show me my reflection

where by your pool I kneel

My eyes my skin

my mouth my ears

my stubborn jaw

and drying tears

leave the water unrippled

All things tripled

a phrase, a thought

a taste of woodsmoke 

and dimness 

in this shadowed grove

are what you show

You are me

and we are three

Mother 

daughter

Holy Spirit

The music was always here

waiting 

for my ears

to hear it

I follow you 

barefoot back

as twilight slips 

from rose 

to gray

to black
