Gaia
A poem by Joel Perusse
22 September 2022
I am the space
Between cosmos,
The same within you
I am the sighing
Nirvana
Discovered in bloom
I’m the riverbank
Fragrant
And stereo tune
I’m the expectant
The reverent
The humbled, renewed
I’ve left you a key
Where the doormat would be
Please, you’re welcome
To enter my room
Where berries and ferns
Follow various curves
Through the bush
To a marvellous view
“Be still,”
Said the fog
Washing out from the mountain
A cawing observer
Impartial
Amused
Wet window sill
Drawing a shoreline
Surrounded
The subtlest murmur
An ocean of blue
I am the space between
Sunlight and shadow
Where everything happens,
Especially you
I am the shape
Of all of my travels
A life well examined
I’ll show you the proof
Got time for one more?
Read another locally created piece.
