a little bit of this
and a little bit of that
mix it but don’t jinx it
buzzing about like a gnat

grains of dew
forming a softening glaze
falling tediously
from your hairline
freshly stocked 
unabashed stare of longing...

Varnishing the soul
Softening the

Intoxicating apple flowers 
And rain softening soil...

Suggestion

Is a softening..

Words

Hinting emptiness

Lacking a path

Or prescription..

Not a teaching

But a few words

Arising and 

Available for

No one......

until thought vaporisation
flowing always in the moment
cognisant of the joy current
making this our meditation

The wind chimes create another song
Playing around in the spring air
Calming with ultimate peace
Nothing lost, music gained
Softening issues
In a hard world
Listening
Eases

evening shadows
softening the forest floor
one last sunbeam

sleeping fawn nestled
In his secret bower bed
unafraid of night

fairy queen watching
from her seat of spider webs
wiping away tears

Mud
Ice cold
Slithering
Squishy welcome
Tickled by the worms
Softening Winter’s edge
Cheering the Jonquils sunrise
Awakening the pond turtles
Harbinger of Spring’s latent beauty
Soothing the hands of early gardeners
...

There is no cover.
There is no shield.
You will wander all your life
With a vacant memory
Of times forbidden, and times beloved,
As you dance along the ridges,
Like a softening cloud,
Until you yourself dissipate
Into the air of it all....

In times likes these when
even my own heart stands still
and tells nothing; it

likewise refuses 
to beat the rhythm of life
I need to see your 

voice, to touch your 
words, to find my solace in 
the warmth of your scentful skin....

Discarded torn corner of salt packet
Word alt still visible in faded red letters
Last bit of freedom, feeling the wind
Heading toward the mountains
In eagle’s sharp beak
Will soon be intertwined in twigs
Softening eaglet’s nest
Enjoying wind while she can...

Desire, the jinx, be watchful, heart
Double-check each impulse
Path is simple, add love to cart
Feel within bliss beat’s pulse

Softening attention
Follow love’s suggestion
Release our mind’s tension

We fall, we sink
Desire, the jinx...

Thirst for God connect
Love holds us erect
As we did suspect
No thoughts may bisect
Joy fullness perfect

We take our chance
Softening stance
In rhythm dance
To each nuance

Thus melting
Love throbbing
Self shining

Gods sun
And we

One

Embracing into wee hours
Within a glancing night
                              
Eternities passion
Of interim flight

Resting,a soothing refrain
A menthols touch to each

Tearless adieus
Of Wistful sighs _ _ _
Softening smiles, 
A fearless good bye,,...

A yellow moon is in the branches.
There’s a sagebrush breeze softening all eyes.
A twilit flicker and washing of shadows.
awaken both fox and rabbit,
both tremble, not with fear
but a fine-haired anticipation
that celebrates each breath.
God blesses this terrible danger of joy....

Memory
 becomes the reality 
 of all that was.
The hardening or softening of the arteries of the heart
 that place where love grew or died
 in the errors and missteps of our lives.
With sleep,
 dreams revive
 visions and images form
 true false memories
putting everything to right....
