keening pain of its absence, and so
discover the enthusiasm of purpose.To see love one must first experience
the devastation of loneliness and so
seek to become love above all else.To know love one must first be willing
to listen to its voice and render simple
acts of love with no thought of reward.September 1, 2023 at 06:11 in reply to: The Cornucopia – Art, Music, Poems . Creative Stories, Myth and further glories – TAKE 2 #18150ParticipantEmerging Shapes of Day
one by one
each shimmering star dissolves –
emerging shapes of daywolves closing in,
the wounded tiger’s final stand;
blood on piled up snowblue moon,
seems so ordinary –
the one I love goneafter the storm,
umbrella torn to shreds,
the disgruntled lover returnsfrom a distance,
her long black hair, as lean
and sleek as a swallow’s wingSeptember 1, 2023 at 00:25 in reply to: The Cornucopia – Art, Music, Poems . Creative Stories, Myth and further glories – TAKE 2 #18144Participantif there is nothing

Come hither, worm, and show thy face,
Renounce thy convoluted coil!
The crown of wonder you would displace
And my native joy, despoil.Come, don your dark and baleful wings
And sow thy blights both far and wide;
And in the sickness of all things
Regale the tyrant and his bride.Come, demon of the battlefield,
Hovering o’er the blood-soaked sward;
Where fighting kings and princes yield –
Take heed my freshly burnished Sword!Come, o hydra, what good are heads,
Multiplied by powers of ten?
Thy spectres thrive on naught but dread
And haunt the sovereign dreams of men.Come, pestilence of mind and heart,
And know that only Death misgives;
Of despair you’ve made an art,
That twists and blackens all that lives.Come, sullen trickster, do confess,
That when of doubt we’re finally clear;
The weight of thy own nothingness
Before the sunburst disappears!September 1, 2023 at 00:07 in reply to: The Cornucopia – Art, Music, Poems . Creative Stories, Myth and further glories – TAKE 2 #18142Participantin a soft river breeze

Dreading the future, dreading the past,
Caught in the narrowest of nows.
Hoping for this, hoping for that,
Held sway by a multitude of ‘hows’.
When the emotions are shot and the fire burns hot,
And the flames they lap at your heels.
Burn all your crosses, surrender your losses,
Let go of all of your ‘steals’.
For the burdens you bear aren’t worth the care,
Blinding you as they do to the day.
Unravel the spin, let the silence back in,
And in no time you’ll be back on your way!

Those who seek to pick a fight
See no further than their nose,
In tribulation take delight
And rejoice in every dying rose.
But victory comes not from up above
And cannot be multiplied by powers of ten
Tis won through simple acts of love
That spring from the selfless hearts of men

“Just before his death, the legendary kaval player, Mile Kolarov said to me; “As a shepherd boy I knew how to settle my flock. With a melody I could make my sheep climb onto my shoulders like doves.Now as an old man, when sleep eludes me and mythoughts become disturbed, as the sheep did once, I get up and ply my naval in the moonlight to calm and soothe my spirit. I think that the range that these two images span encompasses all the engrossing metaphysical mystery of the naval and it’s
deathless sound – from a simple, utilitarian, shepherd’s device for settling his flock down to gentle grazing and peaceful, healthy digestion of their food in order to provide an abundance of milk and good quality wool to a musical instrument fitting and worthy of singing the praises of life and all nature and of the divine existence of the soul.”The above words are attributed to Macedonian master of the kaval Mile Kolarov, and the below clip is of the master himself, posted by Australian musician, Lindsey Pollack, performing on Australian televison on 1979. An ezgija is essentially a meditative flute solo elaborating on a theme.
