Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
Even when alone, we may not be.

The sound of life.

by Mike K2

I sit high upon
the precipice
overlooking my
life. The gentle
rain screens out
what is bad, but
also mutes what
I love.

I went up there
alone to celebrate
it, but I find a
cool comfort and
warmth of spirit.

In my quiet contemplation,
it is as if two people
are sitting on that cliff.
My imagination gives
way and a sound is heard
through the din.

A soft lovely and gentle
voice starts singing.
Playfully, lilting and
lighting my way. I know
there is someone out there
with that same soul, that
I seem to possess.

Your haunting harmony comes
to me in an area held
sacred by our indigenous
brethren, they too, echo
and so I follow...

...Can you hear?




Recognized


Sound produced and multi-tracked by Michael W, Kohlman. The flute is of native American design.

This poem is written in a spiritual sense. More then once, I have come to ares in my woodland travels that just had a sacred feel to them, call it a hunch, usually up high and overlooking a river. Once my suspicions were confirmed by a US Geological survey in one area and it was noted that pot sherds and points were found. Another was confirmed as my scoutmaster mentioned that the rock piles were actually graves. He was afraid to tell me where, but in my explorations, I have found them. This poem is also about a state of mind.
