Solar Playback*

She listens

for The Story

Inside the story, the glisten

The words witching

Within the whispers,

What is shared

Of one heart’s truth, bared

What she plays back—

the story mirrored

In song, in movement

In mime, in dance

With universal kindness

Of creative circumstance

What is witnessed

Inside the story

Within the whispers of glory

a wailing, a sailing,

an ailing, or hailing

One heart’s truth

running through

the Aliveness of another~

Story sounding,

Body bounding,

Poetry playing

Sculpture swaying

From inspiration of the deliver

A revelation of River

The invisable story in the river**

Made seen, loved, heard

In playback observed

What is one heart’s truth

Alchemizes in Life’s art

to the Truth of One Heart

You are as I am,

When all be done

We are One

She listens

for the Story

Inside the story, the glisten

We witness, to remember

our story is an ember

of The Story—

The greater Story

that lives within

All Aliveness,

The Holy herein
