Trans- Substantial Filigree Poem by Denis Mair

(for an unfinished painting by Aram Chaled Res, posted on Oct.7,2024)
... ... ... ... ...

Haze over the horizon is a layer of velum...

a glow of pinkish orange stands out in the dusk...

suffused with gold it becomes treasure-light...

trans-substantial pathways open fully to each other...

instantaneous linkages forever advancing...

making a column of instants at eternity's brink...

so vast that our tiny hearts sense only a filigree...

rays of cambium spread across the sky...

ethereal substance of the cedar tree of heaven...

firmly planted in the transience of this world
... ... ... ... ...
