Blue Train

Black silhouettes beyond a closed window

A void closed shut, spilling the rhythm and the blues
like a gasp of air beneath an ocean of water

Sheets of sound

the full spectrum of the universe
in a single glimpse of time

The hum of life
infinity

rising action and a climax of sound
the universe in a grain of sand

Free to be
you and me
Simultaneously

old soul
old city

The rising blue an aching sun
the weight of age-old uncertainty

An unspoken truth
carried by invisible shackles

free to be
