Poem Artwork


At twenty I was arrogant
At forty I was dumb
At sixty somehow transcendent
Now I have overcome
Myself at last to be my best
To my past I leave the rest




I



Someone who knows now who knows how
I was going to get depressed
But got out of bed and got dressed
Instead though that was hard for me
Somehow I guess now I may be

Be that as it may as they say
Be as what I may anyway
If not what I was yesterday
When I forgot then got depressed
Would not get out could not get dressed

But here I am another day
Someone who knows then who chose now



II



Curiosity
Lifts and carries me
To where I could go
Before I would know

Is what makes me free
Because it takes me
From where I would be
To where I could be

Who doubt as I do
Believe me your doubt
Makes who it takes you
Where you could be too

Curiosity
Says "go and find out"



III



We live between heartbeats between breath and breath
Looking for the meaning between life and death
We wonder and wander and blunder but we
Find it in each other eventually

Together and whether or not we succeed
In being successful as the world demands
We are the meaning and we are all we need
To live between heartbeats between hearts and hands

The meaning between life and death is between
Us then success is when we know what we mean
And those who succeed between heartbeat and breath
Are those who have found us between life and death

Between heartbeats between breath and breath we find
Ourselves in each other in our humankind

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
