“Diminuendo Sky Study 3” by Scott Naismith
music of life
one long song
one lone voice
connecting the
calendars neat
stapled melody
notes phrased
and paged into
fascicles audible
booklets of time
with diminishing
descant of days
lyrics lessening
volume in wane
tired vocal cords
moreso content
to give whisper
to limited hours
approaching their
fadeout to coda
Writer Lynne Sargent

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

How simply divine. This ebbs and flows so perfectly. Almost hypnotically so.

“moreso content

It’s a process, but I’m coming to understand that, myself.
