Balanced Breath

Ron Koppelberger

Balanced Breath

The darkness in dances of ownership provoked by claims

Of scarlet robins in flight, closer to the will of an

Unbidden heart, a fable found in fear of innocence

And swirling heavens alight by riot and fires of

Falling glances, by the tempest in wanton harmonies

Of ash, tears and rain, by the frayed boundaries of an echoing

Song sung in tale bearing call unto eternal shades

Of autumn night and the abandon in mischief and

Wonting hungry avatars of balanced breath, a manifest drama

Of ethereal illusion and spun silken webs

                                                                         Of unfolding breed.
