Shoals

 
shoals of souls
roar radiant light rays
whirl spirited whirls
cascade merge
playfully separate
splendorously outpour..

inmates
as up we stare
bewildered neath closed-open trap doors
glints of whizzing time-outs flicker outside
rushing shards pure as moonlight freckles
caesura notes..

straining
we the attrited puzzle over
over all that is more
stuffed in the head with wise words read
shackled sentient raw
we roll lightly feathered in liminal lead..

while our wretched and hopeful cries
entreat
do the shoals aswirl listen
or even hear our semi-blindfolded arrowed howls
howls from deep
deep within us
to reach their gated celestial all-glowing-dawn ocean
where the sprites so gracefully
so playfully and so impossibly glisten..
