Short Rescinds Poems

Defaulting on all past
  and future sins

The weight of their debt,
 —the present rescinds

Loosened in winds,
how returns are always in vain ...
Something rescinds,
as if by a leaving train
we stand at a loss.
Nothing leads back across 
our shattering world.
Also, the wall built around
our inviting ground
now breathes the pain....

Brilliant trails of light
Across a darkened sky
Fireworks in slow motion
A cosmic fourth of July

Scattered bursts of rubble
A dandelion in the wind
Extinguished in moments
Flash of light rescinds

Now I make a wish
As clouds obstruct my view
Will I get good fortune
Or only deja vu...

Physics and Philosophy come together
  in what they are not

Cause and causation are different
  in the absolute thought

The blocks can be built and ordered
  over and over again

But what gives each block tenure and presence
 —science only rescinds

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

“It’s almost time,”
  the Angel said

Last image dancing,
  in my head

“The gate unlocked,
  the pearls alive”

Both wings she opened,
  time proscribed

“Just one look back,”
  I asked in vain

“All past is gone,”
  her voice proclaimed

“Your place awaits,
  all time rescinds

My wings your gift,
 —now fly within”

How could I forget your tender touch, my sweet love of spring?
Twilight stars that bring in night, such lonely nights of musing.
Songs I sing to alley cats, they listen’in somewhat confused.
To tunes that fill the empty steps that tap the wet concrete

Till the time completes, and tide rescinds away from earth’s embrace
I will patiently, take my wait and make joy in masquerade...

Season of refreshing
The dead spring up alive
Their faces brighten up
Hope permeates the landscape
Beauty climbs to the top

Season of refreshing
The dying receive strength
There is a quantum leap
A brandish of colours
All expect a good reap

Season of refreshing
There’s an awakening call
An upsurge in fervour
Gloom rescinds and depletes
Pleasure meets endeavour

Mighty flames consume every question, each fear,
Clinging to the heart and soul with breathless grace,
Falling among the stars to erase each tear,
Endless light, stirring dark night’s gentle embrace.

Inspirations bleed through the soft, soundless winds,
Love like never before, darkness soon rescinds,
Healing and blessing, remembering to share,
Doubts relaxed by the spirit lost in prayer.

Out in the rain the restless winds
now moan as winter's pale rescinds.
The flowers at the window bay
are silent bells that stiffly sway
while marching on the roof begins,

a riot of a billion pins
that shatter all my disciplines.
I clasp my hands as if to pray
out in the rain.

I feel the breath of pardoned sins;
on tenterhooks this mid-March grins
its unborn promise.  I'm away
to spread my arms in gleeful splay
and echo tales this cloudburst spins
out in the rain.
