Short Inroads Poems

Fulfilling the request 
From years past
Things old 
In the mix 
No tricks
Strides painting 
Inroads business
The battle in drift
Step by step 
Convincing roads

Looking out the window of change
Leaping occasion
Paddle through
Awareness dew
Inroads chess move
Masters choose
Right to left
Plan for the win
Situations friend
Send for the forrunner

meandering
along the hinterland
relentlessly I search 
for innocent love
in the remoteness
of unspoilt territory…
a hopeless romantic
making inroads into
inaccessibility

Sand beneath
Worn feet
Damp coolness
Water treated
Moved waves away
Puttering the open shore
Enjoyment
For one and all
Making inroads
Life fine
Getting over tensions
Building on new dimensions
Old measures not forgot
Uncovering well tone mored
Deal with and go on home
Speaking happy mime...

You watch the candle burning
you thought they were a charade
watching them flicker
You played with painted ladies
see how they turn and  twitch

And the moon is praying
to be somewhere else,
solitary as a walk on the parade
you watch the  sky's unfold
like petticoats they flutter
by beach and inroads
you groan for redemption
gathered within the dust...

The rotting process,
The ailing wood,
Slowly its strength ebbed,
Gradually its resilience declined,
Blemishes made inroads to its core,
Its roots became feeble and frail,
Its boughs withered,
They fell off like drops of rain,
When wood becomes earth,
It is washed away by seasons” denude,
When wood sleeps,
It is home to crawling creatures,
A loss to nature’s tapestry, 
A marker for tomorrow’s frayed beauty.

Inch
by inch
we progress,
making inroads
to entwine with soul,
which in turn connects us
to domain of love and light,
present both within and without
seeking but surrender of our mind,
that our heart may be filled by bliss divine.

No doing is needed toward this end,
for we already are that essence,
although not now so apparent,
since maya grips us herein,
confining awareness
in a narrow band
encircled by
a dark mist
of our 
fear.
