    THE NEW DAY, THE MOUNTAIN, THE SUN, AND THE SHADE 

    By Jane Mabrysmith 

    ©Neatomajick Productions 2019 

     

    I like sitting on the mountain 

    Away from all this mess: 

    The knots, the strings, the ties, the hooks that bind 

    Everyone into hardened fractures- 

    Beliefs pieced together in a shape 

    Unintended: 

    oblivious awareness 

     

    And how do we wake them? 

    And how do we 

    Tell them it’s time 

    For school 

    When the alarm clock works 

    But no one 

    uses it; no one cares 

    Just an apparatus: a pointless stare... 

     

    Like the clock’s tick 

    Made us all unaware of the world within ourselves 

    And without 

    It means nothing to them when the clock ticks ahead 

    The sonic pitch 

    Falls dead against the cochlea’s end... 

     

    My head pounds as my mind explodes into tiny million fragments. 

    There’s no more room in the body 

    For the broken lines 

    Scattered behind your sleeping eyes 

    Can be seen now. 

    It is seen now! 
     

    And you don’t know who’s looking 

    And you don’t know 

    Who’s been counting 

    And you don’t know 

    Who’s been waiting 

    For this 

    Time to arrive! 

     

    Oh blast from the past 

    Blast me like the last time you saw me crawling from the crevasse of hell 

    Do tell me, when was that me? 

    The echo rings like a vow I made before I could breathe 

    In the open sea 

     

    Tell me! 

    Was that really me? ! 

     

    The cross roads is clear, trust me, I know the way 

    Cause I made it. 

    Step forward tall, for the mountain is yours 

    Once and for all! 

    Welcome to the new day! 

     

    And I’ve been here before, 

    Years ago 

    When I could say I knew 

    Everything 

    About nothing 

    And nothing 

    About everything... 

    But this I know, 

    This I know: 

    Nothing about nothing 

     

    There is only the heart and the breath, 

    The new day, and the mountain, the sun, and the shade 

    Carve me into the cliff where I will always meet the wave 

    For as still as I might, nature always has the last say.
