clouds, shakespeare inspiredclouds
appear as shapes
dragons sometimes
forks and trees
naming the unnamable
a search for home
(Anthony and Cleopatra)
busyness
seeming much to do
and the rain
in opposition
(King John)
tears
and swollen rivers
dissolving
the boundaries
separating home
(Richard II)
the weather
seems to facilitate
or oppose
bringing to stories
uninvited guests
(Love's Labor Lost)
youth
a scattering for
experiences away
while never departing
from home
(Taming of the Shrew)...

A Shrunken Head and Other MysteriesIn the book nook I found it—
a face no bigger than my palm,
leathered and silent,
its eyes forever pressed shut
against whatever it had seen.
Grandma said a missionary friend
brought it back from somewhere
halfway around the world.
On the dining room window sill,
a dozen squat green strangers
kept their spines to themselves—
silent travelers from the Southwest
when my dad was still...

Gliding into the forest of her mind

Who I AmHow do you heal from your past?
How do you change the events that formed you?
I can’t forget my past,
It will forever linger with me.
Who I am is not who I was,
And who I am is not who I want to be,
I look in the mirror and think to myself,
Is this really what people see?

DARE TO DREAMAs the evening was turning to night
The sun had already set
10:00 pm being time to sleep
There was no counting of sheep
My eyes began to get heavy
Trying to fight it
Sandman won
A dream started the stage
It was totally amazed
Through the illusion
Survival or Death in the air
Turbulence quarters
Danger and warning surrounding
I was aboard a passenger plane
Why I was...

Made in God’s imageTo discern the truth transcending space-time,
befriending silence, we entered the void,
where emptiness was filled with bliss beat’s chime,
revealing soul’s light, pure and unalloyed.
“The silence faded with a soft embrace”,
leaving in heart love’s benign after-burn,
that as God’s grace entwined us with vast space,
our presence reached the point of no return.
We saw our Self, shining as living...

(Poet’s Note : I’ve uploaded first verse of this little poem on YouTube channel as a short, if you’d like to listen to a read, be welcome : @ghairodanielspresence)
I see past present future fluff
in a ball of bluff
a ghost down the road
dressed as Victorian toad
speaks through
an IPhone on cue

ONLY A MOTHERBearing child birth
Conceiving new life on Earth
Devoted and Timely
Nurturing the child
Making sacrifices above her own
Teaching and Upbringing
Embracing Wisdom and Understanding
Disciplining standards
Greater Love everlasting
On this Mother’s Day
The honor sending your way
A Mother’s work is never done
You are valued always among
Mother’s take your bow
You are a Mother with know how.

RAINDROP DAY RAINDROP DAY
Hands mottled, waves
at indigo Table Mountain
soft raindrops fill copper birdbath
full Winter not yet arrived
grey air meadows
liquid light filters atmosphere
an old woman struggles under
weight of stagnant memories
I smile with raindrops
as they manifest a dream drapery
no me, no my, no you, no yours
OmniLove misting me through
my own undying freedom...

Rush Hour
People bolt in mad race
through jammed streets cities brace.
Against time car lines crawl,
destined for a long haul.
Rush hour of frenzy match
makes us chase dreams to catch.

Lost and FoundOhh prodigious tree, So how it feels now?
To be surrounded by the serenity of charm
The birds are finally gone, it's with you, your warm!
Ohh prodigious cloud, So how it feels now?
To shed off the burden, and sleep with the void
The water without you is devoid
But atleast, now you aren't paranoid!
Ohh prodigious...
