Like the roar of a motor,
the wind dance of sequoias,
stormy thoughts swell and swirl
in naked backdrop.

Insufferable sound
the sharpness of a dog’s bark.
Mindless, forgotten sensation,
like the touch of a hot stove.

Queue of symbiosis moves slowly,
like a pacing caged animal.

Suddenly, clearly as ice,
I lose myself in you.

Cacophony becomes a symphony!
