OF THE WHENTOWHERESOEVER I GO AS YOU
SINGING THE WONDER SHOULD SONG
THROUGH “THE SHOALS OF THE WONTSUNODI”

Singing you’ll never be gone from me
Until I’m gone from myself
And, as you, can’t return:
Songs of the so it is–whentowheresoever I go as you.
I’m keeping you by my side, ever-so;
Memory’s hold of hands, eye to eye;
We, arm-in-arm in hug’s kiss-caress:
Our passage together–  as our so many times
Through the Shoals of Wontsunodi–
Those Shining Holds of Angelic Legacies—
Of Wonders That Should Not Die —
And you first through that Gateway to Nevermore to Be.
As earthlings, we each
Take our passage’s turn at time’s breach
Into whatever Breath-Aria exhales to infinity.
So it is — a So-Ever-We glows with inspiration
And an incense-burn of serenity,
Casting our sentience of light into darkness,
Our dew to the sun; essences of breath to fresh the air,
Blue the sea and the sky:
Our “answerless why,” never rhymed with “just die.”
So, I sing — The Wonder Should Song
Of you’ll never be gone from me.
Until I’m gone from myself
And can’t return……….
Loosed to what homes with you in some Eternity’s
Hearth fires kindled by sunshine dreams in starlight;
Our love as leaves caught
And blown through that threshold of naught —
Singing the Wonder Should Song’s
Of the whentowheresoever, I go as you……..
Through the Shoals of the Wontsunodi.
