writing
    sighing
I sit
  scribbling
this..
to highlight
insights 
   within
which otherwise
might be
dismissed
as
simplistic
random
thinking
    passing by..
      afloat...
I
grab
  the moment

seasons
of abrupt
            movement
and
appealing 
           beauty,
           proportion,
           structure-
no sentimentality
or
timidity..   
           symmetry
with
shapes

random
        beauty
        catches
the
eye
     inspires
     &
     transforms
acquaintance
into
love

lightning,
 in its  midst
whirlwinds  whirl
writhing
rising
binding
hissing
twitching:
     lightning
blitzing
   this night
tingling
spitting
striving
hiding
from
    windchill
till
winds
    diminish

once 
   on Good Friday
they looked
       upon love,
at first 
          silence
a silence
        so black
        so dense,
then the sound..
a gentle
          wind-
after ..
  comes the dawn

where
  the egrets
           perch
where
   the petrels 
         nest
the 
    kestrels 
       screech
wrens
peep
above 
      the creek
which
wends
    then ends
where
 the speckled
         perch teem
and
dew
  bedews
    the ferns

disassembled
    and torn
scattered
    in the fetid
air
    beyond 
        repair
in
higher
     dreams
unheard
unspoken
a
   thousand
        whispers
in
the
night 
    of
       this
           brief 
              transit

  soft mosses
             grow
winds
from
every land 
         compact
         &warm
waiting..
    here...
        in rain
        out of the west
honeysuckle
          about
           to
            blossom
in
   my
        heart

go 
    look for
go on
    to follow,
who
   to look for?
how 
    to go forth?
where
    to look-
or brood..
 all forlorn
   in a mood,
   at a loss:
too long
      forlorn
long
    forgot
how long
who
knows
    not how
now
to show
how
long
  thrown off
fond
    vows
once sworn
who
    knows
now?...
