THERE IS A HIGHER WORLD,
ONE OF PURITY AND NOBILITY
where the material reality
does not interfere
with the work of the imagination

clouds of tonalities
come and go
within the music
timbres of single notes
hang suspended in temporal space
articulated clarinet and oboe
gain resolution then disperse into the
geometries of the symphonic ensemble
atmospheric cadence and dissonance
drift cloudlike
cacophonic dodecaphonic
a mobile of spires and spheroids
on the beach of the infinite
THERE IS A HIGHER WORLD,
ONE WITHOUT HATRED OR RANCOR
where the pettiness
of human jealousy and infidelity
does not enter
W E J O I N I N T H E S E A R C H

intransigent airships
delineate absolute trajectories
morning dreams
midmorning mind schemes
silent thought streams
astral communication
on the morning of the new awareness
drifting continents geographic shift
planetary tectonics
THERE IS A HIGHER WORLD,
ONE OF PURITY AND NOBILITY
where the material reality
does not interfere
with the work of the imagination
