A thousand dreams have sailed away a thousand more have sailed me home, and 
Bartering with...

The taste of bile treads my thoughts,
Unwillingly my feet must now follow,
Source of inspiration guide,
Restore the signal fires now long lost,
Set beyond the temporal,
A path impassable by mortals,
The stairs of separation, 
I must recount lest...

OUR BOUNTIFUL GOD

Our God is bountiful because…

Eternal generosity never runs out of blessing remedies
They appear when least anticipated
Popping up – leaping out – capturing the unexpected 
As lost pennies found with surprises bearing gifts
Trembling with...

Here I stand before hundreds of moss grown graves
There is a mournful silence that extends
Through the weed grown path, no traveller walks
The place, some morbid warning portends

Hush.... hush is this place, here no bird sings

Vagabond Reveries

I awoke one apple-ripe autumn afternoon, 
While shifting my necessity to care, dreaming,
To gaze upon the twisting trail in reveries of untethered reality 
A quest for halcyon enigmas that chased me into cloudy castles.

And...

Music of My Soul 

The earth ever composes mystical arias for me
That taste the splendor in thunder’s profusion,
Then touch the silent metronomes of lyric waves free
To hypnotize my pulse in movements of fusion.

The sounds of...

Your 
eyes 
pierce 
my 
soul 
like 
a 
needle,
Your 
eyes 
overcome 
my 
dark 
days 
like 
a 
candle,
The 
earth 
comes 
to 
a 
stand 
still
As 
your 
breath 
sprays 
my 
face 
like 
a 
drizzle,
I 
nibble 
and 
suckle

A Blustery Autumn Day

Mischievous bursts of autumn’s laughter
Pulls down the last of the season’s bright artistry
 Carried away on blustery gusts,
  Weaving a tapestry of autumn’s magic
    In tiny whirlwinds of...

Thank You for the Music

Companions on my journey
Surround me in anthems -
When the dawn rises up,
In afternoons of reflection,
In slumber’s reveries -
Melodies
Always embracing me
Asking only breath
In canticles and choruses –
 Paeans and in psalms –

Bilocation – 2-11-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bilocation

Love
Slips through labyrinths of tangled spirits
 Complexities and conundrums of misdirection
Released by prophecy,
Like clairvoyant fingers of misty sunshine
 in two planes
  sharing one minute.

Love reaches beyond boundaries of fluttering flesh -
A bridge...

The Age of Aquarius is now
Don’t be fooled by what others say they know and see
But those who have ears to hear let them hear
And those who have eyes to see let them see

It's the irreverent soda stain which irks me today
swelling the wood milky white in a ring
and satisfying that place in my brain's back pocket
which daily refuses to be satisfied.
Lipstick on the coffee cup at Waffle...

Komorebi 11-8-23

Komorebi

Sunlight dashes through boughs adorned
In autumn’s scent of red orange crimson
Tossing diamonds of daybreak from their limbs
Into the borning air of dawn
To litter the forest floor in clutter of crystal auroras	
Playing hide and seek...

First Freeze

Aspen leaves quaking shivering
Beneath coats of freak September snow…

Gold sequins sparkle through a cloak of ice
New sunlight captures glitter
Captivates - no fool’s gold

Out of season – unexpected appearance –
Jack Frost’s second cousin
Sneaks up on...

There was a beach
Where Sandy would teach
The children how to swim

There was a ballfield
Where Blondie revealed 
His secrets for hitting a ball

There was a library
Where Cynthia was the lady
Who helped you find books to read

Autumn Pathetique

God winks with fall in blessedness
A pathetique from a soft breeze,
Silk sonatas, scarlet tresses,
Abundant blessings and jubilees.

Veiled in gold, summer’s parting kiss,
God winks with fall in blessedness,
As amber shadows reminisce
Songs of geese...
