Crossing on a ballot the vote Men 
To elect a Government 
Not for the crossing of the pressmen  
To that Government...

I love bridges,
             I seek crossings...
             I love people who are,
              overpass...
             May they teach us to cross
              paths and detours... !...

Climbing closer 
To the sun
The winding trail
The creek crossings
The beaver dam
And felled trees
A snake in the grass
Butterflies everywhere

Feeling older
With rubber legs
And yet,
There is so much
left undone
in the world...

I feel my way
within this space
conducted safely
by the seasons

hand over hand 
along the fence
of my settled
course of days

securing myself
at the posts
of my reliable
cycle of hours

I slip off the trail
through the cracks
on the barrier-free
crossings of time...

The Fence
The night dark iron gate slams shut
Symbolic for centuries of forbidden crossings
The piled stone lay line across the field
Each rock a hand picked custom fit
Old rusty curtains running zigzag through the forest
Crushed by the tall and silent fallen creators of shade...

Perfect strangers met
At the crossings by the hill
Destiny has planned

A moment in time
When all the forces connive
To make things happen

Not by accident
Nor by chance that they meet
It was preordained

It was meant to be
The meeting of a lifetime
Written in the stars...

Lifetime trek
Now complete
Ever now passed
Your beginning moment
Terra Lumina
Has crested horizons
Before you
Throughout destinations
You’ve journeyed
Maturing before
Those eyes
Which destiny
Could never elude
Those crossings
Carrying you forward
Eternally incomplete
Reincarnated anew
Upon the rising...

Whispers waves
around the winds
floating becoming intangent hits 
wisps 
visibly floating solidly 
dropping to the ground
 the top my head and it is as if 
though I've read this before as I cross the threshold
Is this heaven
The peace and whispers across threshold crossings

undress--
render to me those fault clothing;
those appeasers that hinder your pours;

unshackle--
unloose those harness;
mental verbiage from your past;

lock up the presents
past being the future tense;

unveil the crossings over;
over cross the veil;

Phantasmal mysterious spectator
lingers between reality and dreams.
Waiting, weaving spectacular wishes
from our hearts chambers of solitude.

Fabricated images in complicated braids
creating rainbow crossings of tempered color.
Whisking sand matted eyes into designed visions
dancing on clouds of impressionable illusions. 

As inner hallucinations castle bridge is drawn silently......
