A Poem by ayaz daryl nielsen

Sophia's Crockpot

At the ending sigh
From withing self-tolerant mangrove
From within Suddenness in time
From within magical African rain
From within crow and night crawler
From within fly, grub and bacterium
From within caravan, catamaran and canoe
From within Marrakech, meringue and salsa
From within rain shadow of mountain
From within twilight alpenglow
From within hidden moon
From within angel, demon and dakini
From within sea gull windsurfing
From within murmur of forgotten language
From within Paris sunset lime tree
From with divine mother
From within All Ways
Always  Always  Always
From within maggot
Sighing exhalation of
Gazillioniths brilliant ingredients
Everything
Pulsating archetype of endless Creation
Of Life
