The temple bells announce the morn
I lie awake through the night
Out of darkness the light is born
I behold the blessed sight
Orange and red, yellow and white
After the grey, blue and black
The presence and the absence of light
An open door, a seething crack
Unread people unread books
Scattered in chaos
In sleepy mirror the stranger looks
Empty worlds across
Peep into the darkness
But take a candle along
Bring a prayer to bless me
Sing a little song
Love with all my white
Hate with all my green
Dancing with wrong and right
Flirting with selfless and mean
I told her I have tied me up
She pulled out the same card
Sipping bitterness from a cup
Wondering if I was scarred
Closing my eyes to numbness mauve
I questioned my musing shades
We agreed we both love Anton Chekhov
A curious content invades
We thought and spoke and cried
In Californication and Hodo
Like two tramps in the middle of happy nowhere
Smiling while waiting for Godot.
