three small candles

  Three small candles
and what come back
the testimony of hours spent in harmony
the thrill of the depths of creation
capturing the breath before it bursts forth
the strength of a look behind the glass
the subtle presence of eternal being
the marquetry of extinct memories
the bewildered perplexity of illusion
the brilliance of a comet that never happened
the apprehension of appearance
the calm of repeated gestures
the romance of old songs swapped
the beyond of the forms awaiting their fulfillment
the enchanting transcendence of the moment
the calm in front of this being leaving towards the open
the wound felt in contact with broken glass
the sliding of fingers on fresh skin
the tradition perpetuated by recognized objects
constantly renewed experience
the fluid sand of nomadic aridity
the dense hatch of sedentary force
the conquest of matter in light of being
the transparency of the outpouring of the finished work
the rising of the curtain in front of the sun
the rise in consciousness towards the heart of the world
the intimacy of being enshrined in law
evidence of evidence accessible to the artist
the blurring of events in the redemptive mist
the restoration of our interior lands
the long and humble work of clearing
war against shadows
the good man in his restorative instances
the fresh complexion of our faces become wise again
music in restrained asceticism
beauty in grace of being universal .

To be alive in wondering reverence for secrecy
to remember the traces of humans
to breathe in the only worthwhile reality
the fine breath of good posture
daily praise
the contemplation of a simple colored stone.
