this year
yin and yang
split apart

like atomic bombs
that billowed
noxious charcoal clouds
all over the lands and seas

mountains crumbled
deserts held back tears
thunders boomed and crashed
and echoed
monstrous screams
into the outer realms
of the atmosphere

and

then into soundless deep space

where silent dreams
travel and unravel
around
future pasts -

where unborn energys
and cosmic dusts
transform into fresh
newness

i awakened
with a jolt
from surreal
dream explorations

hands still grasping
reminiscences
of cosmic calm

i quivered

brutal
negative forces
have ripped apart
the very heart of this earth

yet
when i wandered outside
on this bitterly cold day -
the last day
of this confusing year -

my cheeks became warm
my eyes delighted
in the theatrical plays
of white and dark shadows -
everywhere
branches were dancing -
a winter tango

harmony and balance -
ice on the sidewalks
and a fiery sunset

yes, i do believe,
as the new year
enters
into the different
time zones -

there will
once more
be
an
earthly calm..
