Premium Member Sea Salt

I am the salt of the dearth

tease your taste buds and

drape sweat for discomfort


You need not know how

I came to be in the ocean

not have to walk on water

but why wait for the Ark

instead start walking today

be a mariner in the desert

zest and spice lie in the path


Shed one more weeping tear

express anger fear and thirst

inhale perspire gather yourself

lick your wounds and salve them

for Aloe grows well in the desert


The passage of time and effort

corrects soil and bears flowers

once you accept dehydration

shape exhaustion into crystals

build memories and momentum

reach the source of your spring

float when rock bottom ceases


The river bed expects no less

than your impermanent stride

the shore line patiently points

to an anchor life buoy and chart

scratched into your inner compass


If life gives you plentiful salt

do not sugar coat your palate

savour the tasty flavour instead

take what is on offer just now

and fend off the gloomy despair

Premium Member Christmas Party Observations

Christmas spirit was all over the house.
A day for a party, but with plenty of louse.
Ding-a-ling-bring-some-sling unseeing Dan
Came alone, which is always the best that he can.
He contributed chocolate fudge that was tasty and sweet.
For his amazing mother’s sugar cookies cannot be beat.

Candy cane crystals blinked in succession from the Christmas tree.
You want to know about everybody? I asked. Come sit by me.
Take a bite out of every piece of pie for corpulent Laura is back.
She drove up in a shanty of a Hackensack beer belly without any tack.
We knew now the party could truly begin, and possibly turn on a whim.
For she usually brings Enthusiastic Essie, her fun-loving, identical twin.

Christmas carols were being piped in courtesy of the host’s daughter.
Gladypipes herself is not here, absent after running off with a potter.
Watch out! Pompous unholy Lady of the Arrogance church is here.
Sitting alone in a corner, on her non-smelling, prissy stuck up rear.
Some of the newcomers have sat down, trying to make small talk.
Discovering she is as mean as they come with uplifted beak of a hawk.

Christmas party full swing now. People are gobbling up cakes and pie.
In the east, I see Jesus’s happy star, winking down from the sky.
Prissy non-listening glistening, kissening, fissening Man of the West.
Is flitting from young woman to old matron, flicking winks at the rest.
Most of us felines know him exceedingly well in a rather bad way.
He's dated every single one of us from twenty to forty; he likes to stray.
Another successful party, full of gusto and girth, gladness and giggles.
I write it all down quickly with juicy whorls, curls, and squiggles.

Premium Member In My Pyramid of Meditation

In my pyramid of quartz,
Its shimmering crystal walls,
Help adjust my vibrations.
I will arise and touch the 
God within; the bright crystals.
All souls must fly, at some point;
If not in meditation.

Soul flight reaches the source;
Touches God’s face and it
Brings in the light of the 
God-mind; enlightening 
all of those who touch God.
Here I learn to succeed.

For it's a crystals
Purpose to provide,
Energy to fly,
Into the ethers
With no earthly bulk.

When I fly in
Dreams, I must take
Time to decrypt,
What I’m given.

Archetypes,
Are symbols;
Conscious mind,

Does not, 
Translate

Well.

Premium Member Elemental Earth

Earth's rich soil
humble dirt
complex dirt
elemental earth
layer upon layer
where it hides
mineral treasures
more than we could
ever measure.

Quartz and crystals
gold and gems
salt and silver
precious oil
stolen and lifted
by hands of men.

Rumbling from the
bowels of earth
hot magma rises
erupts and flows
spews and plummets
to lands below.

Mother earth
source of life
for plants and trees
roots run deep
thirstily searching 
to seek and find
precious fountains
hidden waters
sublime. 

There are hidden
secrets within
earth's crust
where we have come
from within it's dust
where God has formed
our earthly frame
where to dust
we'll return again.

Premium Member I Know I Saw Him

Stepping through the pine and holly wreathed front
entrance of the homeless shelter,
as a Christmas Eve snowfall decorated the city,
I carried a fresh turkey,
I heard joyous singing of adults and children as
the warmth of the lobby with a splendid bright
Christmas tree filled my spirit.
There was also the voice of a baritone man
with such a generous hearty laugh.
I became momentarily distracted by a t.v.
on low volume playing the vintage animated
"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" movie.

When suddenly a scent of peppermint and
nutmeg delighted my nose,
a flash of antique-red and faux fur white trim
with a long curly snow-white beard swirled
that sparkled with ice crystals.
There was a thumping on the roof,
and a resounding jingle of many bells.

I felt Christmases of long ago were here again,
a six year old me meticulously placing decorated
sugar snowmen cookies and hot cocoa by the
burning fireplace for St. Nicholas to pause and
enjoy,
I was soon asleep after laying down in my bed.
I know I just saw him there at the shelter,
the children weren't sleepy that Christmas Eve,
there appeared so many presents under the tree,
as their parents drank coffee finishing up servings
of pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream.

We can see Santa Claus year-round in so many
people,
you can feel him in someone's hug,
in the benevolence of family, friends, and
some strangers.
In giving of time or charity in food, money,
an embrace,
someone comforting you,
a pet cuddling you,
I know I saw him,
and so do many of you-
in the Christ Child we have peace. ~


Snowflake

born within the eternal fire
	pure and clean bursting free
streaking outward through endless space
	going on word in endless race

chaos swirls defying forms
	heat and cold by friction moved
mountain’s high and valleys low
	while rivers racing between them go

rock is warmed by golden light
	then chilled again by dark of night
stresses struggle without resolve
	till fractures grow there within

water lies so deep and cold
	surface struck by bright light
moist mists above it forms
	carried by the flowing breeze

carried onto distant shore
	rushing over lush green trees
rising higher ever more
	into the sky racing high

turning cycles of dark and light 
	endless flexing of solid stone
warmth of day and cold of night
	constant changing without 

raindrops fall so clean and pure
	flowing free without a form
filling all where it does lie
	till there is no room for more

tiny cracks within the stone
	growing there oh so slow
connecting then at long last
	flake so tiny breaks then away

lifted up by racing wind
	freed from earth of rocks and soil
climbing high into the sky
	flying free upon the breeze

together now they do dance
	until then they embrace
and within the sky they grow
	first wispy white then growing dark

in heat of sun they do fly
	racing upwards into the sky
lifting air now so thin
	carries them not to higher be

till so high in bitter cold
	shining crystal there are formed 
slowly then begin to fall
	flying faster along the way

through cold mists as they fall
	they do grow as a seed
crystals now in glimmering light 
	in cold mists it does grow

freed from clouds it does break
	drifting down upon the breeze
till at last again to earth
	it does lie within our gaze

Upon a December Morn

I wake to crystals upon the white-dusted fields;
Billowing fog creeps around a logged-cabin.
The blazing fire of the smoky chimney yields
The frigid dews that drips from the icy pellets
Of the rosy ruby ribbon made from satin.

Overcasting clouds of haze grants us snow.
For the caramel drops upon the cocoa fox,
Scatters for warmth to bare it must grow.
To leave home to his vixen of bronze socks
That whimpers and howls through the winds blow.

Pebbles upon the icy stream skip and hop down,
The scouring cloves of gems with a drop profound
The earthly pleasures by the river bank of frost.
By tall conifers meeting the paths that crossed,
To other lands beyond the wintry battles around.

Premium Member My Immortal

Your face over candles and crystals
Your scent I smell, stick on murals
Finger prints of you over metals
Turning hard to soft like petals

I saw you kneeling when you prayed
Behind you was I and stayed
I can hear your soft voice unafraid
Wishing for a cat unbraid

The candles you litted inside the church
Served as my lights when you left
Your shoe prints on the aisle I search
Vanished like air without a cleft

I sat down for a while
Wishing you would come back
Minutes later you came back
Walking like Immortal over the scratched aisle

Middle aisle of the church so old
With you turning anything like gold
Your prayers are like magic so bold
Reviving with warmth everything around so cold

My immortal is in you that calls
My body and soul that falls
Wished you can be mine someday
Dreaming you're all mine all day!

Premium Member Falls Coming

FALLS COMING

Falls coming sometimes when the leaves fall;
I envision them as colored paper shredded;
Wind is blowing cascading march to the breeze;

Quietly awaits the robin as it sees the branches waving;
Joyously bereaves as the trunk is surrounded by squirrels;
Chasing each other merrily around, around and around;
I am sure
That the robin has no need of these…

Fall is falling colors changing odd;
Soon the wind and rain will turn to snow;
I envision white crystals drops of snow;
Frozen tongues on fence post again;
I am sure
Someone’s son or daughter
Of all of these things something will fall;
Just as anything that goes up..
It must surely come down Climate changes
Winter, Spring, Summer Fall

Winter Chuckle

A rasping geyser blushes fantastically 
Scratching nearby fountain crystals phenomenally 
Raging in blazing triumph and snicker
Shining 'n giggling in defined flicker

Whilst falling winter laughs merrily 
Into the cold brisk air trot, blithely
Nature breathes in accolade honor
That bluster in the wind wander

Evening time shines from moon far away
Stars open for light beams display
As the night rotates in silent recess
Tis' the season ascends in razzle-dazzleness
 
Winter chuckles, wickedly into the flutter
A snowy blast now cries in bright white clutter 
And daylight blows 'n boast with glory planted
That gloat in the wind, as I watch enchanted
