Birth

You came into this world with such a tendresse, 
when I held you, my arms became your anchor, now,
is the heartbeat that paddles you away from my coast
a lifetime journey, a dreamer duelist to grow.

Life

Life, a shaking boat
in the ocean of living....

you alone can handle it.

when the shakes becomes overwhelming...

give some one your paddles...
and you end up 
up side down
in the ocean of living....

Bird of Paradise

Blue birds hide in the radiant orange flowers
protected from the long soft showers
Stems peek out from the shade of the large paddles of leaves
The Bird of Paradise is most brilliant flower I have ever perceived

I love my baby
He is nurtured  and happy.
He has funny hands
And tiny amazing fingers
He paddles; I feel happy

Premium Member Yellow Tranquility

In the pale mist of dawn, a rower glides quietly
across a creamy, yellow lake in a golden glow.
An ethereal fog settles dreamily over the waters
as muted paddles create rippled works of art.

Divine favours

Success paddles forth on a teak-crafted boat,
God’s blessings now shine in a glow to adore.
Your foes only watch as your fortunes take note,
Your blessings now match every sand by the shore.
God made you a beacon of love evermore.

Premium Member She Is the River

She is the river

He paddles in mystic ways

Slowly, Quietly

Siren current draws him in

He wants to know no other.

Premium Member Swan Song

Swan Song

I slid silently past
soft silenced down
laid in rest
amid fresh sprouted grasses
no viewing hours posted
only the few drifters
heads bowed
paddles idled
an homage
to nature’s beauty
spent.

Riverbed

Puffy white clouds 
Like pieces of
Floating cotton 
Shifts silently across
 the blue sky 

Birds of morning 
Sing songs in the 
distance

Fish swim in crystal water
River flows gently 
Fisherman paddles 
a canoe

Here I sit
Nature and I

World

Here is the sea of sorrow,
Where people need to borrow
Boats of hope and paddles of reason.
To the land of nowhere thought 
Our dreams try to flee,
But we keep stopping them
With fragments of redundancy
From very small entropies
That populate our minds.

Premium Member Row Your Boat

Row your boat

gently
and find yourself
in a dream..

going with
the flow..
effortlessly..
paddles  stowed
singing of a dream..
then of a sudden
singing As a dream..

recognizing now
boat and paddles
 stream and you
are the dream..

Who is dreaming...?

Premium Member Spontaneity

Spontaneity..

The wind paddles

Rotating in a gentle wind

Seem as time wheel until

We recognize: There is 

Spontaneity on display in the

Paddle and wind and sunshine..

Spontaneity introduces 

No-thing as that which

Appears in this small

Episode out of time...

The Radio

I hear bird like voices in his kitchen.
Imagine gulls nesting on counter-tops.

He's gone to Wisconsin
for the ice-fishing
but his radio plays on.

Sounds are snowing in his apartment,
melting ice puddles slosh.

Today, fish-bubbles surface
on frosted windows.

The radio paddles around -
squawks on.

Up Anchored

The ice has boiled over,
sludge trudge paddles its way
through the muddy day.

Willow trees dream in the melt,
we open windows
to watch the damp sky dry.

Child-hearts are lifting,
their small boats
turning to great sailing ships
for the survivors of sadness.

Wave we as the world passes by.
Fly a flag and be.

Read That Twice

In vast realm between both false realities 
efforts of a strained bowel movement collapse
like the arithmetic dreams of abacus beads.
Arthritic persistence contemplates procrastination
while stillborn attempts at cleverness 
seem to flicker as defibrillator paddles exchange electrons.
You can’t revive what wasn’t alive.

Cocktails at Seven

Stand I
grinning like a second-rate
comedian, conversation wafting
over and about my see-through
discomfort.

Dancing tongues skip
subject-to-subject, inoculating
lulls like EMT’s
ready with the paddles. 
 
I am here
next to my wishing star
on the brink of coming in
on a double dutch jump.

Premium Member Snake Oil Salesmen

The Duke and the Dauphin 
    two snake-oil salesmen in 'Huck Finn'
  chased by folks brandishing paddles with nails
    ridden plum out of the county on a rail... 

  Joseph R. Biden and Donald J. Trump
    peddling their rancid cologne to the masses
  Such a pair of stubborn mules, those two
    Let's stick their dunderheads in fertilized mule-asses

Haiku Snippet I

Cold water lapping
Quiet barking and a quick 
Splash out near the bay

Songbird in brisk rain
Perched under a broken branch
Nest in tree hollow

Floating atop it
Our paddles swept through the lake
A budding blossom

Blushing and a chill
Moon wane and dragonfly hiss
Step on Winter cress

Red fox hunts in reeds
Swimming after a small mouse
Sky is clear and bright

Impromptu

my heart 
beats softly
for thee and
for thee beats
broken beating
slower and slower
i've flat lined______

paddles
charged
         clear 
electricity spike
milligan for a millisecond
_______________________
wait a minute begin again Finnegan 

wake
to find
my friends
in rhyme not
rhythm sitting in
with the heavenly band
but not one knows a single note_______

Daughter (For Rachel)

In buttercup waves she paddles,
On dove wings her kisses are
Dandelion clock gossamer, sweet lipped
Bee stings timidly tickle.

On emerald lawn she wonders,
Eyes azure, bright reflect,
Memory clouds, teased thoughts,
Cotton candy strands unraveling.

On brushed sand she dwindles,
Camera-lensed, grown focus brings
Delighted large-smiles, like heaven,
Forever heals the day.

Venice

City centre water bender
bind it not make it hinder
puzzled boats lacking thoughts
paddles muddle thrine cuddle
leaving behind all the huddle

must i speak or forever keep
such beauty can never weep

doth thou art history
still remains mystery 
shrined still flickery

observed by human unusually
to love and pass all boundary
by boat by last its Venice
doth mess with Denice

A Small Boat

Drift a small boat with two paddles
In the sky above 
Swiftly passes by the lake surface 
A frightened swan 

Clear blue sky painted with 
The green mountains
All the beautiful scene is 
Taken by the still water

Waveless lake shapes like a mirror  
With countable fish swimming 
In clear water

On the sandbank by the river 
White birds take a leisurely perch thereon 
Look like you 
Look like me

Premium Member Until We Meet Again

Rowing with golden paddles
The water glides with quiet grace
Ripples shimmer like scattered diamonds
Smooth sailing with no thought of Winter

Summer forgets by design
Winter does not ask permission
Ripples stiffen into chop
Chop grows into waves

Winter crashes like a wild tsunami
Blanketing Fall in a cold grey hush
A long hibernation of silence
Until we paddle out and meet again

Your Strength Is Profound

My heart can’t contain you
And all that is new
I suffer this pain though
I allowed it to grow
I reach in the shadows
But can’t find the paddles
I feel I would drown
But you peered around
I’m not lost, I’m found
Your strength is profound 
It holds me together
And loves me forever 
My life it needs truth
To be shown what is due
And loving and true 
I’m consumed now by you
