Love Shines

Love shines in unclaimed shadows
Of tarnished souls like polished platinum,
Like burnished bronze in solid darkness –
A golden lantern of serene solitude –
With luster of the eternal living star

the heavens’ stars assist our human sight.

in northern Ursa Major shining bright.

the darkest nights with stellar beams will glow,
regardless of terrestrial affairs,
in spectacle of grand...

A ferocious sky rattles overhead,
Gathering a vault in electric red
As lightning of fire grills my night, aloud
Like a mad howl piercing edges of cloud.

Rapid the hours’ flush deepening a smear
When sudden gusts of blatant winds appear,
To assail road gridlock with their harsh course
A power so...

Born a soul into a vessel of life
Innocent and pure a spirit riding its ship
The maiden voyage launches without major strife

the "old ones" sharing 
life's lessons.

As chill winds blow 
through the town 
  The inhabitants trudge homeward
Through snow and ice 
   they trudge 
Their faces ruddy from the weather 
At the end of their journey 
    they will come home 
to a roaring fireplace...

Life . . . and of course, living it, requires
    Some freedom with few constraints.
As energy is bound by time and space,
    Along with the will of many saints.

From the macro to the micro, the

We in are in a time of darkness,
A season of sorrow and regret.
Like a great fish caught in a current 
Rife with unexpected, opposing tides.
All are tossed ever farther 
from lives all hoped to access. 

Striving against this typhoon of violence
Perhaps our hope is bereft?
As...

The lad looked up at the sky with a tremulous sigh
   Why is man born and why must he die?

He gazed at the stars, dazzling guideposts of night
   With arms outstretched toward their flickering light

He looked out over the sea, its...
