Oak
"Oak"
The guardians
stood around and
shook their heads
great thoughts
quivering
from the ground, roots up,
as if to walk
confidently
with great armies
yet hesitation
was witnessed
in their waving gestures
perplexed
and touching
green crowns,
there they...

An Anxiously Anticipated EventDear John,
All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;
Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...

The Crow Bar
"The Crow Bar"
she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,
in neat rows between
the thick,
ink injected lines,
their soiled lives
ploughed and
turned over
replanted
sunnyside down
expunged and
wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,
they...

The Giant of LisbellawStood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

Sacred SpacemakingDear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace
Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you
And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience

Workshop Poem - Winds ForgiveTurning my back on typhoon skies,
a pestilent past, I pitch my mistakes
into a forgiving wind. Standing barefoot
at the edge of apologies,
coastal tides carry hope, tomorrows stir
on a mariner’s horizon. I search...

The Village On the Water IiiShallow-pitched tiled rooftops sparkle vividly
When lavishly sprinkled with needle-shaped grains
Of shattered mutton-fat nephrite;
There, clinging forlornly against the hanging grey
Smoke, tinged with barely...

Recollections From the Golden Cree IiiBrackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn -
Wherein contained:
Foreboding dialects delivered...

From Palimpsest to Glory: The Music of Florence PriceIn Ouachita's murmurs, where pine needles sigh,
I trace the mountains' ancient, weathered crown.
Silvered river forgotten secrets float by,
And fills my heart, a sonorous chamber now.
A flame ignites, dispelling shadows deep,
A beacon for lost souls on...

Soaring Hawk - a Haiku SeriesSoaring Hawk poised high
Back drop a deep sapphire sky
Winds in attendance
Mighty wings unfold
Caressing the Wind Spirits
They lift and support
Circling Hawk perceives
Rainbow circle on a cloud
Framed is his shadow
On oceans of blue
Snow hills of clouds...

My Mistress, the Moon
From mine chamber, breathless and perspiring upon the bed,
I spy you there, out my window, looming overhead.
Your gaze, a silent arbiter in the night,
I cloak my naked shame, to veil my plight.
Reigning atop her...

Unaccompanied PathsOnce upon a stranger

With open and adorned soul
Askance behind silvered eyes and sighs,
Revealing her concealed seraphic smiles
In an unending sequence.
Yielded in gleams in day dreams,
With folklores and odes chronicling her...

Lament of a TravelerLament of a Traveler
So far ahead the shattered break
With drifting light through limbs that ache
So far behind left to hesitate
On raven wings broke the key of dreams
And so many footprints spent traceless
Along sundown’s passage
As they...

hoping that it would come...

In the MirrorIn the mirror,
When I look,
I see the son of thousands.
I see the son of the foragers,
The wanderers who hunted the world,
The agrarians who farmed the fields,
The ones driven by famine to strange lands,
The ones taken...

LifescapeSee where I started,
in the garden of my childhood.
Fenced around with parents
hedged in with strict convention.
Walk with me.
The bare hills of ambition from my youth
lead upward, onward, overlooking
crowds and earthbound throngs.
Climb the eroding pathway to...

wishing one of the stars tonight will glide and send you smiles
