Short Converged Poems

The orange and yellow bands have now converged,
for their message is one and the same:
“Impeach Bush and Cheney”
“Until they all come home”...

snippets of light
converged
upon
the
face of the
pink ash rose
through
the
sacred night
but
give us this day
orange
snippets of light...

Mormons converged on Great Salt Lake
To consecrate their Lord's mistake
But found they could float
As well as a boat
Though prayers looked more like patty-cake...

Your love embraced me.
Streamline muscles rippling.
Strong and statuesque –

Sweet mesmerizing
Steele gray eyes that melt my heart.
Pierced my resistance.

Every tomorrow
We two became one essence.
Forever converged.

in the
    distance
lost words
    of love...
I
have 
   no other
     thought
       but love..
love
for thee
        alone..
you
    are
      still
        my
delight:
in
words
of 
love
   converged
with thee..
I bring
    this
      little
         song...

here I woke
and she waits for me there,
susurrus her wings spoke
and I walk within her stare.
every form & thought
converged, consumed
in a lunar reflection.
lift this veil of nought
hold the soul that with
sacrifice, 
a bloody chalice 
was bought
let the wound cover me
bleed me into you
all that filled this before
closed in the eye,
born anew....

Deep in the spirit of its silver flare,
locked out of time- an engine of wind
with seven shapes begins to prepare.

Vibrating! A whirlwind has converged 
into a single stream of wind energy.
Piercing the atmosphere without mercy
gently, like a rose pierces the earth. 

Air becomes visible and humid, it is full
as the hands of time flex and relax
and clocks go to sleep....

Some see a scrubby, stunted wood;
the pure heart sees a pond.
A vision cast into the could -
the gift to look beyond…

And though the plan has not converged
quite fully in my head,
I simply can’t resist the urge
to rend, uproot, and shred.

Reclaiming bits of Eden, I
clear out the brambled vines.
Creation and destruction, by
this, briefly are aligned.

Dinner Time

The scaly, green creature emerged
To a beach where swimmers converged

How quickly the crowd stepped aside
As the fourteen-foot reptile hit stride

From the Gulf to a nearby pond
He stepped in and poof, he was gone

Only then did we see the sign
Half hidden by a creeping vine

What’s this?  Do we need translators?
“Please don’t feed the alligators”

Lost in vain emptiness  
Devoid of meaning 
Shunned within 
Then, without 
Submerged in a waterless pool
soaked in a bubbling vacuum 
Converged in a ceaseless stream 
Clothed in vain nakedness  
Gathering clouds deprived of rain
With a brightened sunshine 
cloaked in blackness 
He is now entrapped 
in a soulless wander 
Encircling an endless border 
While walking solo
On this pathless journey...

We can account when the universes’ energy began
Wondering though what was before and when the cosmos emerged
Unsure who, what and why this all converged
And now there are lights flying in the dark skies at night
Navy pilots watching in the clouds -- is someone visiting in the starlight
Crystallize, rock, water, skin or bone, living, dead no way to  know 
From where they have come from and where they go
No one seems sure of these visiting lights in the shadows...
