Of Contemplative Webbing

Here in the quietness

like that of a silent root

growing deep into the earth,

I sit in the womb of my room,

contemplating a tributary

flow of imaging words

from the lexical river of verse;

sending streaming messages

to the belly of starving eyes.

 

Suddenly, and as quiet

as a shooting star

across the sky’s vastness,

a small black spider

eight-track its way across

a clear white wall,

disappearing into liberation.

 

If only our own liberation

could be as swiftly energizing,

rather than like the quiet

slow movement of a full moon

seemingly struggling across the sky,

reflecting the sun’s allegorical message;

albeit its waxing and waning.

 

The sun has always

had that bright symbolism

of resurrection—liberation—

new beginnings;

even though its journey

over valleys, across rivers, seas,

and over hunchback mountains

ends in a down setting

over the ever waiting horizon.

 

 

While panging venomous verse plots

to distort imagery messaging

in the lexical flow, anti-venomous

discernment, as quiet as a spider’s heart-

beat, opens a floodgate of wisdom.

 

Thus, it is revealed

that each sunset and each sunrise

marks another triumphant day

in the struggle, and despite

the darkness the moon’s waning brings,

there’ll always be bright tomorrows

bringing one closer to the liberation quest.

 

That something as venomous

as a black spider could be,

should initiate the webbing of

the tributary flow of this meandering

hopeful verse, is no less than a mandate

for pregnant  poetic minds

to continue to ink the liberating word.
