Afloat ,in a small boat
a sudden levant arose,
each disciple in fear,froze;
A command-Peace ,be still--
The storm submitted to his will.
Full story of this vignette @Mark 4:35-41
The lambition of the slalom she deserves
To follow the flower’s supple curves
(There must be digital swerves)
And the linguation until sensation
Follow the Levant, Aqaba and Red Sea’s
Coastline, tantalize and tease
The gustation of the in between, a quivering release
Over and over and over again
dans le silence d'un soleil levant
je crois entendre des voix et soupirs
reconnaître de vieux sourires
dans le calme d'un matin sous givre
je crois voir de doux regards
en berçant doucement l'ange qui dort
sous une lumière tamisée
je crois sentir le doux parfum
d'un amour renoué en juin
Translated from my poem IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN
There's more than just size to the elephant,
they do do some things that the others can't.
Many stories show these acts as valiant;
in the wild, grand gestures seem elegant.
Their wisdom is "ear-ily" evident,
nothing too pithy or given to rant -
like wry witticisms from Oscar Levant.
Or, Ogden Nash whose stanzas are extant,
not the rhymes of some silly sycophant.
Pachyderms make empathy "rel-e-phant"!
Darest Vicar –
Tell your kins: the monks
White-haired under a false piety
Their sermons under-nourished
Many of the young inmates
Of the huge monasteries!
Darest Vicar –
Where are those gentle levant monks?
Tell your bothers: the monks
Especially that notorious monk
Wearing a huge globe over blind eyes
Wearing a tower-hat on a bald head
The prodigal partition of our nurture
Remains the perdition of the forest!

visible outdoors
to show the seen
blending smooth
colors, tones, light
shadows follow
reflecting angles
smoke rises
unobscured
beating hearts
wade used
brush strokes
mirrors mind
high orange
floats in water
fleeting calmness
holds gaze
