Poetry: Soundofthesoundofthesound by DeaneTR

The sound of the sound of the sound of the word
 
Once read as it echoes
 
The sound of the sound of the truth
 
Once read as it bleeds on earth under soil
 
To a deeper world of vision
 
Of a rhythm of the rhyme of the rhythm
 
Of a tone… once known repeats…
 
 
 
As rhyme of the rhyme of rhythm
 
As presence as wings as eyelids as all limbs
 
As complete whirls as dancing real and in wealth
 
As breath of air of winds of wind as
 
Leaves of larger and larger
 
Ever growing wind? As well as
 
Love that is shaped by wind… as eyes seeing as
 
 
 
As original eyes as moist blinking eyes of rapid moving
 
Of the wind moves around a limb of a wind moves
 
Around a trunk of a wind is a life swaying
 
Century on century on deeper and deeper rooted soil
 
As wind that you’ll best know
 
As wind within as how you refine
 
How it flows how it dances how it’s real…
 
 
 
As the sound of the sound of the sound of a sword
 
Slicing through air as dancer’s spinning limbs and body
 
And joy in eyes blinking collected rhythm…
 
As the whole sword’s point as circle of circles of circles
 
Just above the ground… wind flowing moving as a center point
 
As poise, as discipline, as refinement as pleasure. Precise… as
 
Abundance as Purpose… of how we live as trees.
