Ships To Galilee
Let my soul be this wind
Wind that whispers against
The bright sails,
Toward this Sea of Galilee...

Gentle Whispers
he held me
close as one
should be
our breath shared
at that moment
we were paired
gazing outward
toward the sea
hearts free
gentle whispers
softly praise
love traced
the power of
the sea captured
within me......

Piggly Wiggly Pirate Notion
I had a dangerously daring piggily wiggly notion
To become a swashbuckler pirate and live in the ocean
Cut off my right leg, replaced it with a peg, hopped toward the sea.
Became a happy buccaneer, slashing other pirates right under the knee....

Transition
It was almost like twilight this morning
Grey clouds so low on the hills
Not far for rain to fall Double Kimo
Gutters rushed their burdens toward the sea
The shards of summer swirling
Winter’s finger beckons...

Reverie
I sit upon my horse and dream
and watch a leaf fall from the tree.
It flutters by in sunlit beam.
I sit upon my horse and dream
as leaves drift down into the stream,
which hustles past toward the sea.
I sit upon my horse and dream
and watch a leaf fall down to me....

Two Leafs
Two Leafs
Like two leafs in a surging spring
sailing silent, toward the sea...
floating on the cool of dreams
alive, alone and free.
And should their spirits cross in love
and if their hearts believe,
how then can the rushing waves
wash away what they perceive?

Woman, Old Man, and Flowers Ii
(painting by Max Ernst, 1923)
Which is she and which is he
and where are the flowers?
Somewhere between archaic ceremony
and robotics. No feet no chest.
Arms stretched toward a sea
that rides its bloody crest of waves
and mattress foam under a metal
sky, metaphor of the future
of a continent with so many wars
behind/before it....

Funeral Rites
He asked her why they allow it,
How they could be subordinate to a woman.
“They would never take you seriously.”
She smiled and turned her face,
Moved her stare toward the sea.
“The women bury the dead
The men simply make all the bodies.”
After a while,
The violence catches up to you.
After a while,
There are no more men.
Only bodies....

Visit To Barcelona
Soft breezes kiss the ancient stones.
Caress the twilight touched streets.
Rippling along highways where long lost ghosts parade unseen.
Fire touched spires lance skyward toward the fading blue.
Ah! there ! I see it , jeweled and clad in a cloak of purple shadow Sagrada Familia.
Wayward air flits among its spires.
A lonely gull soars out toward the sea....

Glacier Ice
Frozen, crystallized, jagged
glacier ice travels
toward freedom
toward the sea
a thunderous crash
ice shelves splash
calving free
falling into the sea
tenacious waves
appease serrated edges
rolling over but not dead
ice drifts with the sea
radiant in the sun
marbleized white and blue
dissolve in the warmer currents
death hastened by the sea....

Natures Cycle - Rain Revised
Rain drops fall on the window pane
Drenching, quenching earth's thirst.
Caught by the river, rushing toward the sea.
The river's mouth kisses the salty delta
Run toward open water, pushing out to sea.
Salt water rises in tropical heat,
Condensing into billowy, briny forms
Pushed by a powerful westerly flow
Clouds drop their gifts back onto the glass
Rain drops gently from the sky....

River Tigris
Tigris, Idigna, Idiqual,
watering parched desert lands
of Mesopotamia.
Swift it flows on the East
toward the sea, from
the once fertile Garden of Eden.
Arterial blood of arid lands,
of transportation,
of trade and commerce.
In spring, mountain snowmelt
tumbles and rushes downward,
flooding alluvial plains for farming,
sharing its life-giving waters
from time immemorial to villages,
towns, and great cities....

Poignant Points
Point the way to Provincetown
Pretty Penny says
The point is that we don’t run round
The circle at Buzzard’s Bay!
It’s pointless pretty Penny preens
To go another way
For what’s the point she screams
That way, there’s always a delay!
Pointing west toward the sea
Across the channel’s quay
Pretty bossy Penny
Piloted that day…
And she arrived under the sky
at the point of PTown, fey
though she was not guy
and in no way, was she gay!...

Come Live With Me
come live with me by the piney woods
near the river that turns toward the sea
In the meadow we'll build our home
and together plant a sweet apple tree
near the river that turns toward the sea
we can greet each coming of spring
and together plant a sweet apple tree
working until fall's harvest comes
we can greet each coming of spring
In the meadow we'll build our home
working until fall's harvest comes
come live with me by the piney woods...
