Long Gesturing Poems

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new day begins and new promises made
The child guiding his way
Finally warmed he seemed less afraid
As through the snow they slowly made headway

The bones of winter cracked the ice black, coal black night.
A hoary wind spits frost crystals that dazzle and blur the sight.
Boney fingers of bare deciduous wood, scratch against the eaves
as the stranger's tread crackles...

All the yesterdays,
With their shadows, haunting 
Feeding my heart with melancholic
Memories, floating on seas 
Of silence, still as the moments
Falling. Like leaves or dandelion seeds,
Alive, dancing, blowing…

All the yesterdays,
In prayers, erasing the darkness,
Silly moments stored...

blowing us towards the promised manic Paradise
a steely eyed greeting committee
providing the final hurdle
their panel of erudite jurists
concluded that his sense of right and wrong
had been tricked by wizard mesmerists

When moon is fading beneath the silent blessings,

Moments alive with the flames of joy kindled to birth,
Praying into the depths...

Our group had gathered for a reading, and to pray, along with
fruit and cereals our first staples of...

The Monologue of Saul



(A lone voice whispers)



Do people 
Maybe even you 

Who have ever been broken in two 
By love

Sometimes sit wondering 
What was I thinking of

Was I seduced by a dark dream from those...

Afosa Adagio
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



He described her as mean
someone caring she demanded more
than she gave
someone that is only
politely spoken of in a gesturing
of description. The first AACT spoke of
her speaking to her lover who only spoken Italian.

The hands that blessed my heart,
With kindness, compassion and attention,
Hands that sought to protect me,
Bless me with their endless gifts, such affection.

I learned, as the years...

A warm breeze rises within me
As I recall the moments

Gentle leaves, crinkled epiphanies
Blessing souls, blessing the hopes, the dreams
Forever’s wings, soaring over the skies
	Starlight, blinking… moon gleaming,
		Revealing the light of a spirit’s singing,
Reassuring, reminding, revealing
	Where the ache of twilight, subtle and soothing,
		Erases the bright...

pensive dew adorning the daisies,
roses breaking through the sun’s gaze
gesturing to the azaleas with all their blossoms
lost beyond the hues in hesitation,
a song plays as the birds serenade...

suspenders holding up loose pants, a half filled 
plastic grocery bag hanging from one hand, a

Wistful ferns, mossy stumps, crumbling
Rotting away, hesitating…
Beneath the shadows of old oaks,
Weathered gray coats, skin
Wrinkled and archaic, ancient
Wise as the liquid voice of creeks
Sighing and breathing out
Echoes of peace, serenity, grace
Praising with the stream of...
