Notes About The Poem

Plenty of Time

We grasp shadows flow over magenta light
      in the crystal trails of tourmaline
      yes, both of us will leave.
                            to the celestial abeyance of pasty white
                            neon embers in starburst trim
                            for now, I'll stoop and write.

Let's have a nap beneath the towering redwoods
       we'll watch "forgets" fly with natural hammering
             together, let's find out how to solve the mystery
                     lyrical hues in lustrous iridescence.

                          We just shrug our shoulders and cheerfully
                          understand our linked introspection
                          here, in the peaks, where the sun shines
                          let's soar with the creative spirit of life.

                             Blew away the flushed, blushing bliss
                    on her whispering wings
          white fog rolls out onto the calm ocean
     which gathers the incoming stillness
a phosphorescent steeple is adorned.

                                           Strolling the fog-covered hills, gazing at the bay
                               let us sip moonbeams from the blazing lighthouse
                      sunlight swirled exotic zaffre mist in a ritzy haze
              enjoying the warmth and the water shimmer
       resting comfortably in a lovely night-line
  Damselflies rose to the lush sky's eerie sighs

               A hazy veil curves across huge terrains.
               sunlight sparkles on the winding river
               comfortable, long-drifting
               to the whispering rouge
               of a nuptial serenade
               only time matters.
               "There is time," she whispers
                                                     There will be plenty of time
