Best Impressions Poems

In quest of wisdom supreme
Seeking truth esoteric
Beyond gravity, space, time,
Beyond senses of mankind,
In solitude, musing mind,
She invokes satori dreams
And finds zeal of nirvana
In sublime motifs of peace

He grabbed me up from where I lay, peaceful in the sun, 
with my brothers and my sisters round about me. 
I felt four digits seeming to be one of a whole, 
which clasped around my form. 
A fifth one, slightly broader, pressed onto me...

Silent
is she whose
sharp mind
unraveled;
she died.

This woman,
friendly,
loved to gab
and laugh.

Unsmiling
in her 
casket now. . .

her face
is strangely

beautiful.

For twenty-seven years I have lived here
inside this little city, Pleasant Grove.
I live too far away from sisters dear.
Not easily from this town could I rove!
I live here with a dog, a cat and spouse.
I hardly know a thing about this town.
I’m here because it’s...

The window to my soul's barred ~
I had left it open once,
but you did not tread lightly,
you stepped all over my heart 
and crushed my belief in love;
my tears made me stronger, strong 
enough to bar it again ~
now all that is left are scars.

I waited and waited but maybe 
the time has passed...
Just one last time , a look, a
smile, something to grasp...
The birds fly over head so free
and so tranquil...
I watch them all, each flight not
new but never dismal...
Maybe one bird will have a note
that might say...

We are judged by our deeds
   Not by our thoughts
Yet their trail of impressions
   Forever's wrought...

O, Golden rays of returning Sun

You are leaving your parting impressions

On these lovely yellow and dark brown clouds

While softly touching...

I can remember as a child
thinking then, snows were very deep,
that train trestles could touch the sky
and dad stood at least ten feet high.
With little legs standing in snow
Like twin stalagmites stacked and cold
certainly seemed deep, in my eyes.
Same could be said for train trestles;
Standing...

I am stilled by the rustle
from maples breathing 
as if their whiffs understand
 my untold ancestry...
This lineage from David 
to Moses carrying me
along  boundless boundaries where 
the Messiah walk on sea
and turns water into wine...
If I so believe

Perhaps, I am getting old
maybe wise enough

He realized shortly after seating himself
atop of a massive stone on the park's knoll, 
gazing out over the lush spring-green prairie 
sewn together by a clear, rippling brook,. 
that sky reflections on those softly-rippling 
waters were countless murals drawn, 
washed clean, and painted anew on...

Engulfed in a zephyr racing with eagerness
Our two halves make a whole core
Moving my fingers across the soft pallet of you
I’ll paint your sculpted hands forever in my mind
A splash of cherry red lips flushed with love
The sounds of intense drumming stroking in our hearts

IMPRESSIONS of REALITY
becoming
  enmeshed
in endless
detail

in the shadows

depictions

turmoil

with
extreme reactions


the
interconnectedness

I first saw her sitting at a table,
sipping her coffee at a small café.
Her eyes were brown and her hair was sable
her smile the kind that takes your breath away.

....useless undertakings....

...my best efforts were shot down...divided...fragmented...
...spirit pulled apart my exertion... dismantling me...

...I guess I was my tries....

....leaving me looking at how I was rejected by the universe...

So now, I no longer crusade for my own campaigns...
...the movement came apart and died.... and with it,
