As a child, this reoccurring dream haunted.
When I would run from a monster chasing me
Then he'd reach out to grab, I'd fly undaunted.
As time went by, from those dreams seemed free.
Now knowing it was death, I face the red sea

Crossing of the Red Sea


Moses raised his rod,
As God told Him to do.
The Red Sea suddenly parted
For the children of Israel to walk through.
The great walls of water
Stayed on either side by God’s power,
Until all His people crossed
Then the waters began to lower.

Pharaoh’s army followed...

Opposing players join the gridiron in the valley of the sun
They feel the tension of the battle that is yet to come.

A calm then descends the playing field and the painted desert sky
Our team the Arizona Cardinals take to the field ready to fly.

His smile is like sunlight
He moves like poetry
His voice is an Arabian night
His love is a Red Sea...

It is water in the ditch making ponds.
It is ponds of water making streams.
It is streams making lakes.
It took lakes of valley to make rivers.
It took mountains of rivers to make seas.
A cross sections of seas springs oceans.

Just like the Atlantic Ocean.
Just like the pacific.
Looking...

White eyed gulls
Soar over crimson tides
As masked butterflyfish swim below

Flocks of migratory birds gather on its banks
Providing a feast for Ospreys and Sparrow hawks

Pharoah's  chariots lay at its depths
Ghostly souvenirs of
The Red Sea...

B is for bacterial mat, clumping underneath, earliest born, never asleep

C is for coral reef, the place we all find cover or the sand parrotfish chew and release
D is for diatom, all...

Yo Ho!, Yo Ho! The pirates life for me
The Jamaica Jewel’s sails are full on seven seas
Skull and bones flying high on the main mast
With a trim bow and keel my flag ship is fast
At both starboard and port, my canons thunder
 heard from a...

RECORDS OF PAST HISTORY



The past wasn’t all that great and the so-called “achievements” - say - 
Of the past pale when we compare them to our capabilities today.

Egyptians built  the fearsome Great  Pyramid weighing 6 million tons in 20 years;
We  dump ...

Sea Czar Caesar sees her seated on a cedar two-seater beside the East Sea Seder.  He grieves since he sees his sister, Esther Dexter, with her red festered blister, next her.  

Guinevere is pleased her eager leader, Caesar’s seen her.  In degrees,...

Watching the horizons 
as the waves crash… 
The sun dies its elegant death 
of golden blood 
upon the distant shores. 
It washes jade green and aquamarine 
upon creations seam, the edge of the earth. 
Sand cools under tired feet
Head held low 
A cry high overhead...

Blue Red – Haiku


Waves turn the day’s sea

Sun sets, burns on horizon

One blue, other red...

The title has been taken by kind permission of Valsa George’s “Sweet Memories” for which I thank and dedicate my poem to Valsa George for her friendship. 

We were lying on the sand,
Listening to the soft murmur 
Of short and light cool waves.
Above us, a...
