Long Buoyantly Poems

Once within eternal Time
a coffee ground
of full-spectral 
spacious consciousness,
Might sink in cold water cups

Yet rise to surface in warm oil sublime
joyously buoyant juice

Happiest to float atop
a hierarchy of divinely positioned selection
station
static inquisition

Yet again, 
to an...

Helianthus annuus, heliotropic slow son dance

Stream of photons bathe
top heavy fountainhead of sunflower.

Analogous to Atlas
shrugging, hoisting, grappling...
with planet Earth, the heavyweight
discobolus buoyantly held aloft
upon robust stem
tracks the heavenly orientation
of said hypothetical nearest star.

This immense distance,
nonetheless...

Tis quite a beast of burden to bear atlas (shrug off not allowed)
Atlas shrugged an impossibility
tantamount to skinny dipping in the lock nest lagoon

Tantamount to shrugging Atlas off mine bony, 
   ill suited,...

A day comes with a
morning dew,
For the words, less
to cope all few,
The breezy wave and
tweeting eyes,
Of rising sun, view
the Himalaya highs,
The trancing
eclipses and
faltering trees,
Held me there,
caught me freeze,
And the prevailing
dusky downy haze,
To falling cascade
of ivory...

Earth's multi-tribal sanctuary,
like any flexible multi-generational home,
like elastically resilient residents
of a nineteenth century
three-family brownstone,
or a centennial extended family farm,
positively grows gratitude
for HereNow integrity
of further co-operative covenanted potential ways
and means to restore Paradise peace intent
for all...

I open my eyes within your mind
Trying to see your world as you do
Yearning
Searching
Seeing
Hoping to find our self from within…
You
Us
Now
 
There we are within an image
projected upon the haze of our desire;
A rolling mist at...

The sun receded quietly on a relaxing siesta, as 
Calm clouds of the mid-afternoon smiled henced,
The beat of the drums provideth dancing rhythm
As she moved in pure elegance with harmony, to
A style of danced buoyantly...

Under the canopy of pine trees, 
We lie watching the peaks of mountains 
Crowned in white and wearing stony brown.
We take flights to majestic heights
To see views from the summits’ tops. 

Dreams fulfilled, we fly...

Dolphins

Watch the aquatic mammals reigning warm waters
Riding ocean waves zestfully flexing playful behavior
Jumping high in air performing acrobatic maneuvers
Synchronizing movements impressing fond watchers.

Be dazzled by their graceful moves peeking up for air
Turning around buoyantly raising...

The grass, just about dry, 
 is canary, clothed in evening sun, 
now sinking beyond the colorful portrait,
canvassed on nature’s abundant spread;
a brilliant form, painted by fall’s seasoned fingers. 

The cool breeze funnels through valleys...

A HOT LZ AT NIGHT

Rotors swimming in the air,
my feet towards the skids;
flying fast in darkness. 

Pack tight against my body,
one hand for the bird,
one hand for the rifle.

Tracers lazily float upward
feeling the sky for...

On an early morning walk along the shore
I pondered thoughts about the ocean floor
What treasures are buried beneath its sands
Amid corals, anemones, orange sea fans
I wanted a key to unlock the seabed's door 

On the...

Micro-particular molecular particles whose properties carry less mass at any given time typically are airborne, only to be respired and absorbed through means of respiration. 
Exhaled only to be once again; inhaled. 
Trapped inside inner...

Behind closed eyes, October beautifies 
my dreams glazed brightly in woodlands kissed bare,
with winds composing songs in hazel skies.

Our hands entwined, awakened spirits rise 
buoyantly through the apple-sweetened air. 
Behind closed eyes, October beautifies!
 
Midst...

passes the wood hopping and jumping on the path

why am i standing here? asked the drifting cloud,
how do i...

Riding the light of a new sunrise
Reflections of the earth
Caressing my soul, my hope
With serenity focused on the heart
Who knows light absorbs imperfections
Breaks apart dreams so they whisper
Kissing cheeks softly, buoyantly

Music silences the heavy warmth
As...

Magnificent moments to be adored.

High tide
sadness billows
swells over me in waves
massive, silent, overwhelming
melancholy ocean engulfing me
flailing, drowning in emotion
or maybe I'm being
too dramatic
only-

It feels
that dramatic-
my universe slightly
out of orbit or alignment
something strangely out-of-kilter causing
all things to be thrown off...

Days sneak up on the sleeper,
Either anticipated, or scorned
To the pessimist, they are dwindling,
And to the bright eye—they carry on beyond our selfish minds

Upon the wakened dreamer,
Days draw on in a smiley haze,
Keeping one buoyantly...

Submerged echoing whale tests the ocean's depths and width,
Coyote's moonlight call tries to fathom cool reflected light,
Buddhist's breathless "a-u-m," entertains cherry blossom's fall,
Galaxies too, seem to flee their own, seek the "Other,"
That which is more,...
