The moon basks in its reflection

Memory has a selective ring
    lets slip unpleasant things 

  Basks midst prism's colors, prelude to first light 
    discards unlit alleys, moon-less nights...

Bright
Sunshine
Dawn to dusk
Colours our world
With a golden glow
Without sun we would die
Nature basks in its glory 
Scintillating sunlight for life

It lurks in the shadows
and basks in them freely. 
At home among willows; 
it too, at times seems seely. 

Just as an unseen belief
makes reality bend.
A fallen leaf—
brings light to the wind....

The chaos betrays this calmness
forced into a smile
the pain basks in numbness
hiding beneath his guile

no one sees it for what it is
no one cared to know
in those eyes lies no bliss
anger it has sowed...

"When the old plum tree blooms, the entire world blooms" - Dogen
   
                                with blossoms bursting

a song bird’s sweet trill...

The 'Island Princess'
  tethered to her post
basks in sun's radiance
  her bow warm as toast

Comes time to depart
  the fair bay where she moors
Tears shed rouse the dark ocean
  when beauty there is lured...

The moon can withdraw; she will crawl
into her colourless body and stitch together her new skin;
she is reborn and basks in her costume of cadaver.
The heart is not that evolved; once broken, she is dead forever....

In the morning dew the dove lightly ruffles 
Escaping the breeze from pollen's sightly scuffles

He basks all day in his iris spring 
Proudly plumage, prairie king 

His chirps unto love 
Forever amiss 
Caressing his wing 
Concealing her kiss...

There once was a dog we called Harper,
Not nary a dog could be sharper,
She basks in the sun,
Until the days done, 
Then curls up on your lap once it’s darker.

Written with my daughters during our lunch break as we admired our sweet dog Harper!...

Smiles and hugs all around
  Champagne paints the town
President-elect waves with his Veep
  Campaign workers laugh and they weep

The Campaign basks in its glory
  Tonight's no time for inventory
But starting early tomorrow morning
  An angry America resumes warring...

full moon basks in light
reflecting the sun’s bright rays…
     illumination

void of emotion
the cratered face seems to stir…
     light lost as sun moves

amber crescent hangs
tip it an sip its Chablis…
     warm gold nectar soothes

Sifting streams of gold through my hands
  Sapphire strewn sands from distant lands
Lusty ambition's avaricious reach
   All together rise up to teach --

Polished silver is shiny; bronze basks in the sun
   But humble deeds, stitched in Heaven
      Of Eternity are spun...

WINTER COLD ESTATE

   winds a brisk soar basks 
   bliss frozen breezes cold sores
   naked trees blossoms
~
 soul cold blistering
 winters winds challenges waves bright
 cooling winds a blow
