ObservanceObservance
by Michael R. Burch
Here the hills are old and rolling
carefully in their old age;
on the horizon youthful mountains
bathe themselves in windblown fountains...
By dying leaves and falling raindrops,
I have traced time's starts and stops,
and I have...

A Meadow's Sanctuary© 2010 (Jim Sularz)
A morning meadow - tall, red-yellow speckled,
now, humbled low by the wind.
Conifer sundials – mirrored shadows, slowly stretching, dancing, and then diminishing - along blurred edges of a lush, flowing sea.
Feathered, high...

Watching Time** Watching Time **
From all analog to any
Digitally shown markings
Of humanity’s invented
Way to watch over Light

Time…
In less than a breath,
So, so many ways our anxious
Noting of hours may be halted:

ChileEndless purple flowers
and salt pools like polished mirrors
give color to the desert
and reflect the clear blue sky---
disguising with their beauty
the poor soil and salinity
of wastelands inhospitable,
inarable and dry.
Wrapped in a serape,
and sipping chocolate´,
I...

The Epic RebirthFireflies beacons, nomad, I quest
Thrusting dagger deep into night
Afterglow, apparitions that fest
Dancing in the wake, and they fade away, when pulling out the knife
Forlorn my laden soul, it is a walking corpse
Stride I, battle broken...

Memento MoriPrompt: Sundial
Stone keeper
of time so frail,
Gazes over gardens,
Poisoned
by pretentious people
Longing to lengthen living.
Time trickling away,
The truth shall stay.
Superior shrine of ages
Shines,
Preserved
past periods
when legends had long lost life.
Casting contorted shadows from its path,
The renewed sun shall laugh;...

In seasons of deep crimson thunder...

Feeding GhostsI've spent sundials of time feeding ghosts,
teaspoons of fear
dollops of regret
pecks of what ifs.
Just to keep them pacified
'til I could grow some balls and climb
the cold cliffs of courage.
but the truth is...
I'll never climb...

In Time's SignaturePendulums swing,
presences in moments tick
rhythms persevere
reverberating emotions tingle
soul pressure surges
sundials dance in resonance to sunrise
a captain's badge drops
memories unfurl as tomorrow glides on fragments of the present
while today remains clouded in visions of tomorrow
soaring with...

God NightA brightly feathered crooner
daffodils along a hidden creek
the bombs mimicking raindrops
cracking the halo of good dreams.
Assassins are ever commonplace
in critical condition is the human race
following feint scents of rosaries misplaced.
God never seemed so far-far-far...

in the morn light barely flicking, misting
crickets stop in thickets and listen

loads of odes a la mode ...

Everything on earth and what is in space.
It orders the seasons and leaves that fall
And it etches furrows on the human face.
Of what occurs in its domain it...

SeijakuA coffee over the buzzing watches
Did once urge me feelings of grace.
Then they ticked and tocked away;
And was dumped down with all the
Documents and filed signatures in
Unnoticable pile.
Only the sundials non-stop on a frozen
Lake,...
