Kissing a butterfly’s wing.
Her hand touching mine....

Until a shaft of light
Diffuses night into a dawn

diffuses night
greets the dawn

'neath the fallen leaves
delicate campestris

God never promised you and I Eden –
Only thistles, but even a thistle
Will grow tall in shaft and be edible.
Was that not sufficient for Adam?...

The Craft
I searched for another craft
Each time I was given the shaft
Got my family to help
Showed me how to make a belt
That looked like a twisted-up raft...

Commanding loyalty from the mind’s craft
authority a structure and a draft

Walking On the Radiance
I’m twisting
like
a shaft of silver reeds
for the sunrise on the waves
for the sunset on the waves
and as Ra’s boat
I’m crossing you

at the other side
after the deceased

Trump Like Howard Taft
Trump Like Howard Taft

Again and again, Trump gave us the shaft,
And after he did had laughed and laughed;
Another chuckle,
So loosen buckle;
Heard huge body is as big as Howard Taft.

Beware the Ides of March
Threat? "Julius, cool your jets."
an ides of March overdraft.
The day to settle one’s debts -
when sixty "friends" gave Caesar the shaft.

Return To a Sacred Place
We all return

To a sacred  place

Where the

Softest light flowing

Through the

Wooden shaft

Putting both

Our hands in it

Touching a mystery

We bath in it

Then, we laugh

For the joy

In it...

Autumn Leaf
Falling
Gliding
Tumbling slowly
Cast adrift to trip and skip
at the wind's will.
Floating, motionless
on air waves.
Tossed in a torrent
of swift surrender,
a last brief shaft of life
that ends quietly
underfoot...

Guiding Light
A shaft of light gleams,
Through the murky illusions:
Rocky coast divulged. 

A mariners guide,
Through the treacherous coastline:
A symbol of home.

Sun
Sun of floral blaze of fun
Days of whee spokes on tone
Hold on shaft ride on Hood
Antler deep glimmer of hope
Imagine too grandiose moon
Create me flown well to come
Man to go brighten mind to shine
Gleam of tree make me dream...

When I opened the door
The light reached
Into the dark corners of the room.
Particles of dust
Floated in the shaft of light.

Sleep in peace,
Take your rest
Weary from the day.
Don't let my concerns
Disturb your tranquillity....

Auf Wiedersehen
A shaft of sunlight 
splits our dreams 
and the spell evaporates, 
our fate is sealed, 
our goose is cooked! 

Morning-mouthed, 
bedraggled, the reality of day 
makes for a rude awakening, 
as reluctantly we say 
'auf wiedersehen.'...
