Song in Des

one moment of flute song,
of fathomless nothing and all of all,
why doesn't it stay
with me forever?

dance on my feet as I walk,
sing in me as I laugh,
sooth the storms that consume me,
slip into silence as I sleep --

one moment of flute song
returning as suddenly as it stops,
fathomless nothing and all of all,
everywhere here and everything now.
