Sunrise Greets Dawn
Sunrise greets dawn first lights arise
To the beat of unfolding wings
Masking misty azurine skies
Sunrise greets dawn.
Across still water swan chants sing
Bathed in glories of the sunrise
Rosy ballads for morning ring.
Bands of silver steel run lengthwise
Bridging midnight and dawn’s dayspring
Pink aurora turns from moonrise
Sunrise greets dawn.

Love meets us where we are
and sees through
Our disguises
Our guises
Our performances
Our nuances
Our expectations
Our innovations
Our convictions
Our contradictions
Our excellencies
Our inconsistencies
Love greets us where we are
Sees right through us
and does not run away

Grim Reaper Greets Gremlin Gregg
grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Greggory
gratefully grasped grainy grandma’s green grapes in glee
greathearted Gretchen greeted greenhorn grim-reaper with gee
grinning, groovy, grown grandson growled among grimy greenery
grandiose grim-reaper granted gratuities and graves gracefully,
grubby? Gruesome? Graphic? Gruff too Grandparents greedily agree.
gruff, gripping, grotesque, gratifying gravestones, grandiose in glee
grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Gregg no longer will be.

Gargoyle Greets Kindergarten Class
a giant genuine gargoyle greets you said the gothic cathedral host.
as if this terrifying statue of scariness is a good thing of which to boast.
the kindergarteners were screaming as they got off the tour bus.
it took weeks for us to simmer them down, me and my teacher pal Gus.
never again we told the principal, we

The Ocean In Me Greets the Ocean In Him
Quote by: Rumi
(You are not a drop in the ocean but an entire ocean in one drop)
Beaten and whipped scoured and wrung like a dish cloth
am I
inside this night gown the sweat and grime of a lifetime
am I ?
Fish or woman master or slave of my own self
am I

Buddy Greets Delivery Driver
Because Buddy is an exceptionally large dog
Weighing ninety-two pounds, measuring five feet
Not counting his tail, even though he is only two and a baby
Some delivery people are fearful when they see him.
He is a gentle giant, but his girth and height are off-putting.
If they were smart, they would be more afraid of our twelve-year-old Sophie
Our

Rose Greets Me
rose
greets me
from her place
on thorny bush
which protects her from the interlopers
even the deer respect her privacy

SacredTime Greets OrganicSpace
Qualities of empowering
and too often disempowering time
lurk within quantities of Yang
spatially in-forming
Yintegrally ex-flowing out
co-empathic peace-full powers.
We are organic eco-climates
sometimes
thriving summers
other times surviving winters,
qualities of sacred ego-cultures
praying for,
while preying on,
rich quantities of composting Earth's co-relational powers
over EgoSelf v EcoOther's underpassing
overpassing Self /Other's WePowers against
monotheistic global powers
except within panentheistic quality time's

Heaven Greets
The broken limb hangs by a gnat's breath
waiting for a wind
To stir the leafy attached limbs
releasing it to blend
Back into the soil of the earth
Giving of itself again
Its life used to give up oxygen
Now grow life where it has been
Cataract grows where lens did work
Knuckles ache, also the feet
Heart grows weak; getting time to sleep
Live

East Greets West
Western theo-logic:
Christ's (God's, Progenitor's, Allah's, etc.)
redemptive economy of grace
leads to Divine/human universal salvation.
Eastern teleo-logic:
Buddhist (Hindu, Taoist, etc.)
co-redemptive ecology of karma
leads to sacred/secular unitarian compassion.
So,
Western theo-monoculture = Eastern teleo-polyculture
salvation = compassion
healthy economy = wealthy ecology
transcendent grace = immanent karma
universalist-ectosystemic = unitarian-endosystemic.
Human West-dominant/East-recessive enculturation
has a universalist deductive dualistic perspective,
which unitarian inductive feelings cannot fully articulate,
while

She Greets Me
She greets me at the door
with a tiptoe embrace,
Her wild berries scent
sifts soon my soul.....
then,
her hand so softly my face,
she stares my well-traveled orbs;
" What? " I ask, worried....
she smiles,
" Your green eyes I love.... "
" Oh,

Greets From Here
Misery sets
Misery greets
Greets the old
Greets the new
New beginnings
New you
You are blind
You did not see
See the pain
See my tears
Tears that mocked
Tears that stood
Stood out
Stood shouting
Shouting loud
Shouting your name
Name one time
Name your fear
Fear of loving

The Havoc Greets Our Eye Sight
The storm raged in fury all night
in morning's light the damage plain
the havoc greets our eye sight
Houses knocked down by its might
ruins scattered on floodplain
the storm raged in fury all night
Trees uprooted some taken flight
strewn like firewood behind remain
the havoc greets our eye sight
Just like lovers full of contrite
they are parting bringing them
