Short Earthward Poems

Winter sunlight.
A ray drops earthward-
And falls on stunted treelines....

Unlike profuse rain 
Snowflakes dance in frosty breeze 
On their earthward glide...

love is fatal attraction
just another Icarus
plummeting slowly earthward
as tight knit bonds fail...

frosty frozen flakes
earthward bound...
a winter flurry

crystalline fragile flakes
squeaking loudly under my feet...
winter’s silence broken...

Alluring Blessings Come Down Earthward, From God.
Heaven Intercedes Jubilant, Kindles Love- 
Magnificent Nourishment, Obliterates pride. 
Questing Radiant Souls Thirst Umpteen Virtues. 
Wondrous Xavier Yahweh’s Zeal.

Winter's secret beauty
born within the grey
of stormy clouds,
formless vapors crystallized
to miniature glassine sculptures
unique beyond comprehension,
drift earthward to linger a season
and cleanse a soul in reflection
on a singular Creator....

orange roses grass
under wrap around blue sky
pretty as summer

blooms dusted with gold
and glittering all their lives
beckoning with scents

orange episode
of sweetest time's duration
earthward redbirds fall

green celebration
sunshine festival of joy
purple dragonflies...

vivid jade and frolicsome
when summer zephyrs eddy near,
the leaf enfeebles during harvest
so its glow, like emerald,
drains to gaudy saffron hue:
	a single, sere lick of flame
	combusting autumn into fire
‘til winter’s hoar grows imminent
and earthward flutters fragile leaf,
	extinguished.

Chill shadow fall covering gray 
Spark ember glow in the distance
Field reverberate muffled bray

Soft cool silk silent ambience

Earthward lonesome darken path lay
Veil on penchant earth's fluorescence 
Two romantical waltz their way
Full laughter and lost innocence
Whereas a billion stars astray

Soft cool silk silent ambience

Rain
crashing
earthward that
night, I take the
freeway curve at too
risky a speed, on too
bald a tire. Traction gives out,
the car spins one revolution,
stopping safely between two offramps -
my guardian angel was there for me!


// this occurred 13 years ago today, on 11/11/07, and I have been 
    grateful ever since for the watchful eye of my guardian angel //...

The ground is thawing,

Winter's demise draws near.

Eagerly I await the first buds of spring.

Snowdrops so tentative

Have raised their faces to the light.

The first green shoots

Have appeared on lilac bushes.

While the sun shines brightly

A handful of wayward flakes

Make their way earthward.

The last stragglers of the season.

As if swept from Heaven's floor

To land at our feet....

As the leaves fall to the ground,
I see the glowing sun slip to the horizon.
A soft wind blows with a cooling sound,
And clouds march across the skies.

The amber disk falls earthward,
Giving the clouds a heavenly glow.
The wind swirls the leaves,
Forming omens in the air.

I go to leave this scene,
I watch all that goes on,
And witness a beauty that will come again,
With every day, from dusk to dawn....

Sapphic Passage

Flower crystals–– rosemary mindful, suffers
chosen struggle, triangle, silent motion
closing center, vertigo's quiet entrance.
Nuances   speak soft.

Open window, fluttering curtain rapture,
silent spiral, miracles easy keeper––
cedar spirit, centuries mindful fragrance,
heart    in its passage.

Angels enter willingly. Bending earthward
sing their anthems joyously...follow  the song...
yet, I tremble. This is too soon for endings 
hold me   in this now....
