Behold the river
Where Charon plies his grim trade
Ferrying the dead...

Today, I seek the earth
created solid, oh so sure
each grain linked to birth,
to death, to my clay feet
ferrying everywhere
life's sublime design.

When harlequin herbs bask in jeweled forests, do you hear me?
ferrying upon pearl-prayers, seeking warmth in doe's walnut eyes,
I'm the last of seven souls ~ before heaven's hyacinth gates.

Seagulls serenade the salty air, 
as serene clusters of dreams~
weave poetry with palm leaves. 
There, waves whisper exotic love,
ferrying memories of an island.

To succumb to one's own pride, 
Or to the ferrying tides?
To hold on, you must decide, 
That this journey's worth the ride. 

Often times I see these boats
Stuck on sandbars, sometimes moats,
They can hardly stay afloat,
Yet somehow, onward they go....

                              land
                   inland, cultivable
           leasing, foraging, entailing
terrestrial, terra firma, oceanic, offshore
             boating, ferrying, sailing
                  acquatic, nautical
                              sea

  If my heart must break, let it bleed seas of kindness,
ferrying forgiveness to rinse away pain,
etched across stained shores,
as I care for slowing pulses, searching for lyrical light….
and If lucky stars do wane, I’ll rhyme, be the healing hymn~
for sailing silhouettes still aching for serenity.  ...

Hot summer day
Beautiful time to visit the island
Ferry to Schwartz Bay 
Then to Salt Spring
BC Transit takes you downtown to Ganges
Nice little village
Had coffee at Salt Spring Coffee Bean Cafe 

Then bus to Long Harbour
Ferrying back to Tswassen
Via Maynard, Pender, Galiano islands

Another summer day
To reminisce another
Warm dry day

Before the winter winds and rain
Start again....

It's not the void of your absence,
rather you are too full into my heart.
I'm trying to defy your silent presence,
but it's really hard to stay apart.
My pen is paining, 
so as my heart.
I'm learning each day from you to be unknown,
but my heart is denying being completely apart.
Oh, you heartless, go far or be mine forever.
Your ferrying is hurting me more.
Will I be free from this ache, ever?...

I kissed the moon tonight, enveloped 
with quartz amulets of Luna
as luminous streams of stars
paint my poetic sky 
glazed in citrine dust
tracing rain dews
in your eyes
to cleanse
these
scars
I hide
within teal
rivers, swiftly
ferrying lanterns
whilst wishing upon the
Milky Way that your cosmic
rhymes would save my aching soul from
drowning , so take my heart, engrave love...

Elegant Emerald 

It’s a people’s paradise
A rehab retreat 
An elegant “Emerald”
Green carpet 
At our feet

Trojan Swans 
Cross the pond
Ferrying Families, Nostalgian’s 
And Photographers 
Strong

It’s all mine
And yours
Ours…

I think I love that most…
The sharing
With sharing comes caring
With caring…
Love

I see that all here…
I do
I love Boston 
I love Boston Public Garden
I love you…

It rained today,
Dark pellets of the heaven's tears
Soaking up the sounds of the earth
Changing them

The trees were felled
Big and old, bent to the will of the water
The cracked sounds of expendability
Following them

Floods wiped away all evidence of activity
Leaving the earth shifted and soaked
Feet ferrying bodies to shelter
Shielding them

It made me sad
This washing away of things I know
The clouds grey as though with sorrow
Hurting them...

As 
I watch
the waves crash
and unfold gems
in neon blue dust
across ivory shores
silky reflections scatter
upon moon glazed tides in cadence
and flaming twin stars whirl in circles
sprinkling magic upon Poseidon’s realm
There's a turquoise song for the healing hearts
ruffling as lyrical melodies 
along idyllic crests of hope
where memories float in a
bottle of souvenirs
ferrying sapphire 
swells of daydreams
that ebb in 
tune to 
faith...

Dear wife,

Laying down, silent lucidity slips into REM....

No more thoughts of the day,
No more talk for tonight,
I sit looking at you drift off to the sea of dreams and floating clouds ferrying you to the dream-light express. 

Your porcelain skin,
Your pillow shaped lips,
Everything feels right...
looking at you sleep,
my dear wife,

I gently kiss your check,
and wish you a good night sleep.

I feel me board my ferry to my cloud to meet you in our dream....
