In a secret corner of the mind, where silence dances with shadows,
I lose myself in the simplicity of a moment that asks for nothing, just to be,
letting dreams unravel like autumn leaves in a gentle breeze,
without fear of absence, without the desire to arrive anywhere,
for in the absence of desire, a vast field of freedom is born,
where thoughts find rest in the peace of a diamond morning,
and love, like a river whispering its story among the stones of time,
intertwines with the simple, austere soul, yet full of a nameless richness.
Under the wide sky of abandonment, I rise without wings,
seeking not an end, but a beginning that reinvents itself endlessly,
listening as silence finds its echo in the song of invisible birds,
in a world where the compass points only to the heart of the eternal now,
and where love weaves its tapestry from the unseen threads of eternity.

rain cleanses me
gives me a sense of newness
refheshes me, reinvents me,
creates a fresh path of being
I sit on my porch, feeling her power
thrilled when she sprinkles a bit on my face

the flaming light of our presence
radiates forth from our crown
all nodes within form align
in a stream of bliss we drown
the refrain of love renews the spark
that ignites our soul at its core
rapture reinvents radiance
wherein each pore becomes a door

The tension between
two disparate answers
Reinvents the question

like the phoenix
she rises through the ashes
waving her feathers
like the phoenix
she reinvents herself
taking prisoners
like the phoenix
her confidence is soaring
she worries not

I’m driving through a small town
and a sunset.
The garage store has all I need,
Gas, 2 sticks of beef jerky for the dog,
some gum.
Outside, the evening is settling,
a sky-paint sinks within its canvas;
soon there will be just ghosts in a pond of light.
As I reach the car, the sky flares one last time,
a shimmer of burnt orange,
the streets rock gently under front porches.
I have stood here
gazing at all this suddenness before.
Every small town reinvents its dream
within a twilit history.
A moment returns, drives past yet again.

Poetry's a tough business, you know
Each new poem reinvents the wheel
Staring at a blank page takes nerves of steel
'Rest on your laurels?' -- You'll have nothing to show
I've heard that writing poems is an escape
But why flee something easy to do
Like nuclear physics or perfecting Kung Fu
Let the scoffers try to get into 'poetry shape'
As for me, I'm off for a round of pre-poetry drills
~ So my pen is primed to deliver thrills and chills!

Restless, pacing around the my room
The feeling is misunderstood
The laughter is overacted
This need has to be fulfilled
The acne for quietness
Is a necessity for luxury
The storm reinvents itself
Is somebody reaching out
Calmness, restoration of the imbalanced
The emotions are flowing in
The humanity is praised
This need has to be fulfilled

Did you dodge the bullet,
but not its intent
Is the ocean now calm,
as the storm reinvents
Have feelings rehardened,
with blood on the stone
Back to back with yourself,
—all escape you’ve disowned

god muscles up
raw emotions bristle
neurons synapse and spark
she hesitates
learning to fly
the hair stands up
on the back of my
neck I shiver
remember to breath
learning to fly
her statue is as hard
as marble but she’s
as soft as vulerability
and so a woman
she’s learning to fly
with every day she
reinvents her future
she knows what she wants
she doesn’t hesitate
she’s learning to fly

More often, this soul widens farther
than the breath of a moon... and through
glittering eyes, I saunter on the ledge
of woodland,
past time's curfew and nobility: a wanton stroll
by a maiden fondling the ripeness
of cherries------ that such pageant from
embossed ferns weaves a new tune.
I twirl along pebbles and sand,
kindling night’s liniment
glorious as the slow climb of dusk...
my wildfire spewing a wanton blaze;
-----fearless like some insolent empress
rising from chambers, burning oil
or watering pewter stones
while dragonflies sleep in a lull...
and I wrap my navel radiant
in the flickering, feathering night,
differently cloaked in such moistened heat.
-----------this way, my world
reinvents the fragrance of a song.

think of bread if you come
and no false hopes
and no bad humor
and no long silences
and no sorrow
I would like reinvents itself

THE POET
Reinvents the world all clean and neat
Passing it on from village to village on electric feet
Armed with pen, peanut butter and a few sheets
He listens for sounds others don’t hear
Turning self inside out backwards in the mirror
Shouting out the roof of his room hot tears
The poet, faithful to his muse soul alert
Floats o’er mountains, forests through dust of plain and desert
Hatching rhyme from paradise to Mother Earth
One of the world’s most solitary really alive in mind alone
Like a word-archaeologist digging for a bone
He scoffs at social zenith calls fancy his true home

I watched a lone frill -
flitter 'neath a crescent moon.
A chasse quite brief;
a waltz concluding too soon.
Dusk's nocturnal breath
whirls a foliferous heart.
A ron de jame leap
reinvents classical art.
The plume flits and floats
beyond a stilled rivulet -
one rebel osprey
escaping Swan Lake's ballet.
Tchaikovsky's cygni
are enchanted and enrapt;
as a chaste quill sleeps
'pon the brim of vesper's cap.

God's born
Earth Genesis were creationists right and darwin wrong
As our conscience wakes , sound science proves evolution is fate
Man tames nature empowers man reinvents nature
Sound science transcends mortal man into godly creator
Life is science , an infinite mathematical equation
Many past lives are demonstrations
When the ancients learned wisdom , disigned cultural paradigms
Mortality once an unsolved riddle , science its divine solution
Life's true meaning is disguised by mental pollution
Why is life possible ? ITs mystery origin is supernatural science
Which transcends understanding and reliance
Ancient wisdom proves hatred makes life worthless
Yet love and kindness proves life's purpose
