Short Reshapes Poems

Time creates wounds
Time exposes old wounds
Time worsens wounds
Time can become a wound

Time reshapes wounds
Time lessens wounds
Time transforms wounds
Time can mend a wound

Found within
the human heart
love is
on all accounts
indescribable;
defying
words and
synonyms,
it is
what forges
and reshapes
all aspects of your
heart, your soul, and your life;
for
love is magical. ...

Art reshapes all matter
Wistfully finding spirituality
And meaning in re-creativity.

Journey to monument
Of imagination opens
The door to
Personal insight
Not a test, no correct rejoinder,
We all interpret according
To our own wisdom....

The Sahara is another vast sea
   Of zero-edge horizons
And remote hours of austerity
   For "sailors" upon caravans

And the Sun beams mercilessly
   And seems cruel to patrons
Until the Wind scoffs haggardly
   And reshapes its art of dunes....

the event horizon collapses
pure intent reshapes life’s lucid dream
spontaneity free from desire
manifests as a divine bliss stream

soul is a diamond free from blemish
pulse dual and single are the same
divine expression is heart’s refrain
descent and ascent, name of the game...

Life fulfills itself through you,
All the while, seemingly drowning you and saving too.

You believe you are the architect of your destiny,
As you rise through your own tears and sweat,
Life smiles, lends its touch, reshapes your path.

Like the wind under the wings,
flowering and blooming in your name...

It flows and you flow along,
With you and within you, it sings its songs...

The Farrier
Miracle Man 
3-16-2022

With uninhabited joy sings his hammer, 
upon the anvil fashioning a tune. 
The “Smithy’s” life, not one of glamour,
reshapes a shoe this day in June.

Billows puffing keeping flames hot,
with shaping done there’s cooling to do.
Fifty meters and you’re from earshot,
with music concluded- a single horseshoe.

Now nail that sucker on!

Listen to poem:

time hovers day to night
swoops as one ongoing wave
transforms all in its passage
reshapes it in one surreal motion

when we’ve said all we had to say
and its sum is forlorn or gone
what will remain of love
what will remain of us

while all that truly matters
is what we’ve given of ourselves

On a cool and cloudless Autumn eve
He stepped outside of his indoor light
To take a stroll, and so took his leave
To feel the warmth of fire at night.

The flames now gone left stars on the ground
That are softly shimmering embers.
Inspecting the sky he looks around
To see if it lost some members.

He is overwhelmed – he wouldn’t know
If stars have left their cosmic stations.
Taking a twig he stirs in the coals
And reshapes earthly constellations....
