a hawk soars past my head

children skimming stones-
glassy lake...

Skimming 
the calm surface, 
a taste of what’s inside; 
His smile a shy invitation 
to swim....

skimming sea swims seamlessly 
seldom seen surprise...

Moon over water stars in the sky
Have you ?. ever skimmed stones on the moon

Skimming the edges
      The Abyss

Swallowing wretched souls
Burning on the insides
Fearful of oxygen...

     who claim they walk on water
            skimming off the top

that bounced off the surface many-times~
sank before making the bay

The lagoon water
ripples silver under the
skimming breeze and the
moonbeam blazes a hot trail on
their quivering bare bodies....

quicksilver
he chases the  squirrel
into the icy field
snapping
branches trap him
until they break
keen
eyes on the chase
skimming over snowbanks
he wins...

Skimming the backyard lake water with eyes bent on adventure
while knowing that alligator eyes are skimming shore just for me
I decide on a mint julep and a good book instead......

skimming stones on lake
they dance across the water
splish splash, now silence

You fling words
with the same concern
as skimming stones
offhandedly 
and
unenlightened 
not once
recognizing 
the escalating consequences 
upon the delicate ecosystems 
of the human psyche...

no sun can rise
when a lonely sky cries
this road’s collecting leaves 
like mind collects dreams

i hear the echoes
of tires skimming puddles 
as i slide in thoughts of you 

unsettled
in october’s rain...

fingers skilfully skimming
over the piano keys
akin to bliss magnetism
renewing rapture with ease

betrothed to God, love distils
vibrations unbecoming
succumb to slow seduction
bliss strobes in our heart drumming...

wings of gossamer  
gently pulsating the air
butterflies in flight


tail of dragonfly
skimming the water's surface
while taking a drink


bark of an old tree
weather-beaten and furrowed
a home for insects...

waves
going up
and down.

soft
footsteps on
the ground.

unfamiliar
empty
space.

ocean
spray on
my face.

water
skimming
my bare feet.

two
lovers
never meet.

broken
shards of
my heart.

all my
life is this
of part....

I am the water flowing 
under the oar rowing 
I am the wind breeze 
skimming aged oak trees
I am the earth growing 
beneath the sunlight flowing 
I am the fire burning 
in destruction, Man never learning.

I am all these and more 
and less and everything else....

The book that I read
is blank indeed.
For the words I see
is mist from the sea.

The pictures that stare
just fate in the air.
Of people and places
only shadows and traces.

Pages upon pages
skimming through ages
Your message sublime
found etched in time....
