The Power of Words (Yoko Ono)


Your words will run around forever to reverberate in the ocean of the world like a pebble you dropped in the water.

Let’s believe in that power – the large power that could move the mountain and the ocean. yes.

Urm

Little far departed
Much
These worlds
I traipse through
One room to another
Stunning the diversity
Of exhibits, glass cases
Mind boggling, the bane
To be stuck
With a season ticket

Happy 235th Ms. Austen!

What is it?
It is noisy.
Isn’t it always?
It’s the precipice.
The wind howls its siren call.
The waters, foaming to the rocks
Gulls screeching, circling.
Should I go to the greens?
Why the greens?
So I can hear the leaves whisper.
The twigs crackle to moonsong
And night souls brush by trees.
Wouldn’t that be a little scary?
Why? Is that your notion of fear?
I see yours’ is the rocks. 


To be continued... 
(So we'd like to think.)
