79.) From The Levels Of The Sea . . .




From the levels of the sea, or from the levels of
A cliff top, alternating heights in my line of sight:
In the expanse of the Unseen, where larger thought
Was free – smaller is caught – blocked and kept
Captive: held to its self – blind and un-stretched:
Time out of mind, butterflies are flown through
The bars of any cage that might hold back a bird:
The more I know and keep closed my opinions
The smaller my thoughts – that will not fit through
The confines of a life that holds back the soul bird:
The more I know not and spread wide my ideas
The larger my thoughts – to flit free as butterflies
Through and beyond to the spheres of the Moving
Wind – a spirit unhindered, undone – open, escaped
More than my soul bird too restricted to fit through.
