TheBear

there's mountains there

So, I've a tale to tell...

He bore both eyes
for mountain skies
and carved this alpine bearing
into the thickquick skin of
this other soul
or two

Born w' a nose wanting wiffs of wiser air
wears ears made for music, made to hear
the motion and the joy of it
which bears out those eyes of truthful kind
to show that heart of real tone

thebear perhaps has borne some heavy truths in time 
and seen some sorrow'd scenes
still:
'as also borne
the panoramic fruit of perfect peaks
those sights and sounds and mounds of glory
becoming all around
each and every solitary thing abounds
into an infinite landscape
revealing stars
t'were 'till now unfound

and so in this way
bears us up
to the very tops of ripened berry worlds
where we be lords
of lustrous lakes
and golden boughs
and great echo sounds
go out through us
saying nature's vows 
also told in ridges of visions
rolling down valleys
to pierce us straight though
source to source

well, so:
we black shale sliders
golden larch climbers
white snow winders
- dark magic bowl
   full to the rim and brim
   with all and every star -
loam'd path finders...
crank wheel grinders
tea hut minders
- pure and awesome joy
  surpassing even trees
  to break ones mind
  on the crest of the hill
  revealing alpine wonders
  in shocking startling blues
  and carpet greens
  and the flowers of some garden goddess
  strewn it seems
  or placed in perfect harmony - 
tree struck idlers
leisurely gulf islanders
momentary providers
of truth in fires
removing the blinders
becoming entire'd

then so!
heather'd
weathered
bettered
measured
found not wanting
and so untethered

mountain like riders
infinite gliders
bearing, wearing
these gifts freely given
with care and precision
from and to
the pure
and
righteous air
straight into the soul of the world
and so into mine
as well

Y, I am sure it could be edited down into that precise control the mighty art of poetry should have, was gonna do it someday, sure… but fuck it, ‘tis is an outpouring after all… it takes the shape it takes, and I suggest you let that one marinate
