Blessing Curse

In the passing of the cars at night
Lie the secrets of my heart.

In the stagewhispers of the night-shaken trees
Hear the beating of my blood.
In the tapping of an old man's cane
I hear the sound of my own empathy.

In the wailing of a hobo's horn
Moans of my own world-old sorrow
For all the things I never said
For all the words I meant to write
For all the things I could have done-
Not regret, but a call for my transformation.

I am but the silent conduit
For all the hopes and visions
Of all the people
Who said all the words
I am but the translator.

Where is the salvation for me?
In humming motor, in cat's meow,
In strangers' laughter, in friends' tears,
In the echoing silence of this house
Where no one speaks but me?

I am at the Mercy
Of the children of Sufferance and Sight-
Her name is Creation
His name is Catalyst
Their child is Inspiration.

Have I inherited the wind
Or just the cold it blows?

Vision Wolf, musing again
