-I SEE YOU, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE HIDING

One Moment, One Day

      (for Bay)

In between

the shadows

and light

where life

sprouts eternal

and incessant

repentant

resonant

and relevant

there is something

small happening

something

inconsequential

indifferent

revocable and

irrelevant

only it’s not

it’s not at all

it’s you

my boy

my strong

one young

son/sun

growing

and

glowing

incandescent

sacrosanct

unfinished

unvarnished

uprooted

from

the earth

itself

but over

all that

beyond the

universe

and beyond

even that

you singing

your song

so clearly

so strong

so proud

and sincere

that every

single star

is huddled

nearby

a jillion

of them

listening

most attentively

wondering

what it is

that you

have to say

about the

way they came

into being

and how they

might make

the best of

everything

one moment

one day

at a time

with gusto

verve

and moxie
