Forrest Smithson

Critical Moments

Spontaneous devices sculpted deep into the night

The coauthor of self-arising designs from ceaseless threads of ancient intensities

Becomes the scribe for narratives of a mystery that patiently awaits its turn

As the actor who rests in the mother of evening's emptiness

Sensing the emergent whispers of a spring

The poet lays immersed in the stream becoming river

Its design unfolding along the waterway's harmonious tracings

The elegist of the night's silent muse

Becomes the artisan of meditations within an invisible beauty
