lightyears away
you're the silence of the midnight air
piano notes still linger in my ear

Timeless Clock
Few mortals, in this hurried time 
    and age,
take time to listen to the timeless 
    ticking
of the Clock that runs the whole 
    universe
and measures time in aeons 
    and lightyears.


Fewer still are those who clock 
    the speed
of swift neutrons in billionths 
    of a second
just to pick the fruit of supreme 
    human will
from the tree of knowledge of good 
    and evil!...

Space
Spinning
azure and verdant globe
comforted by
rising sun
from
elipse of life

Moments
drift by as lightyears fly
stars are born
they die
while
super novas explode expatentally
into the blackness of space

Wondrous happenings
in that almost just helium vacuum
one could float for miles
unteathered by gravity
your knowledge
of celestial bodies
would shift your perspective
and place a whole new value
on life...

No-See-Um Sway
Lulled by the no–see-um’s song
the grasses and I are yawning
tilting our heads 
in the breezes falling off the day
as if cocooned in imagined protection beneath 
a raccoon mama’s chin
we sway…we sway…we sway the night to day …away

and above us the grasshopper's song floats 
in swaths across the lavender universe (13.8 billion lightyears to bring to you)
a light house sways across the gray
trying to say...

















I love you...
