it comes out of nowhere
out of the shadows
from the depths of despair
and into the light
mysterious & majestic
formed from a grain of sand
before becoming larger than life
in less than sixty seconds
leaving an indelible mark
on anyone’s memory
who was fortunate enough
to have witnessed
such an occurrence

Discover for yourself
Deep red rose abloom
Not some off-color
Bleeding into blue
Rediscover the secret
You just told someone
How good it felt
Being the benefactor
Not the messenger
Fearing for his life
Bring back to life
The band & the singer
Rather than smothering
Music with blankets of snow
A new parade unfolding
Performing a lost art
november two thousand twenty-four
