Thinking Poem by Diana van den Berg

http: //soundcloud.com/diana-van-den-berg-2/thinking

Electrifying brain-flashes.
Puzzle-pieces of logic reshape into flowing smudges
of harmonizing voice-clouds and blasts of rainbow sky-smears

and the spirit savours sunshine and forest fragrance.

And new worlds
and new words
and bluebirds
swoop into the face
of stagnation
and stagnation explodes
into a volcanic display
of a thousand, sky-high petals
that flutter into larks
that turn
and soar
above the clouds
quivering with song
that echoes through the mind
and lifts it
to greet
the wind
and sun.
