Best Gazing Poems

Drawn by subtle intuition
I follow a winding path
into the heart of the woods,
emerging in an open glade
where feeble sunlight falls
upon a moss covered wall.
Isomorphic intimacy holds
me in a trance; latching
the present to the past, as
nostalgia flirts with mixed
emotions. Resting my hand 
on the stone slabs...

A bazillion stars twinkle in the night
sky; pinpoints on black velvet, perfect
jewels created by the universe
for us to gaze upon in wonderment....

Mysterious are venerable trees.
The ancient massive trees one sometimes sees
deep in the woods exist in seeming ease
through endless cycles - spring to winter’s freeze.

In great tranquility stand such as these.
What changes have they seen through centuries?
What secrets have been whispered in each breeze?
Pondering, I gaze...

A crazy world has lost it’s solitude;
the comfort in a crowd is where it’s great,
and all those childhood values once pursued,
appear to have succumbed to modern trait.

Befriend a dog, and you have won a mate,
they’ll comfort you through life, and you through there’s,
and for you...

Star Gazing

As the darkness falls across the sky,
Stars start to shimmer very brightly.
Your eyes reflect them clearly,
Hiding your grief and pain.

At the ocean shore, you gaze the stars,
Reminding you about your dreams.
Awakening about your reality,
Wishing it was just a dream....

Time to take my patch off, I’ve been somewhat wobbly
Everything beautiful, everything bright,
So much clearer in black and white,
No double vision this time, I promise you honestly,
During my op visited our galaxy, am addicted to astrology

The universe
In my navel
Where it all began
From the mother of all mothers
tongue tied 
to a tree
naked
No wool to pull over these eyes

They're up here by the way

Pondering the microcosm of a belly button
The flora and the fauna

Crazy when you think that
By the sum of our...

A sentinel
Celestial pearl 
Hung in silence 
Over the velvet
Of a midnight sky
A solitaire
Free spirit
Lunar splendor

I'm mesmerized by star gazing
dreams drifting through the heavens
a traveler through time and space
imagining days of fire and ice

dreams drifting through the heavens
on a summer evening with soft repose
imagining days of fire and ice
the magic of their untold stories

on a summer's evening of soft repose

Gazing Windward 
	on a summer’s evening
Loch David Crane
1981

Whose waves these are, I think I know:
   his home is in the sea below.
He will not see me stopping here
   to watch the whitecaps come and go.

Enlisted sailors think me weird

TOYSHOP WINDOW GAZING

A wooden castle with windows and a drawbridge wide
Which could hold a regiment of toy soldiers inside
And a turret with a big red dome  -
No point in even asking to take it home

Then, each time we passed the toy shop
I just had...

The irises are so purple bright
glistening and gazing in the night
starry back drop out of sight

Picture perfect as the full moon
past the horizon of gloom and doom
from days that bloom in late June

dark hair flying
walks a dog in the wind
her graceful turns stir old feelings
warm heart...
