Short Wayfarers Poems

One coin; two sides

Cold, dark, eerie night
Vampires spreading terror
In wayfarers hearts.
Indoors, lovers snuggled tight
Of the terror, oblivious!...

stationed at the height
Celestial wayfarers of the night
Dancing damsels with the light
Fading phantoms at Phoebes’ sight

 Sentries stationed at the height

Celestial wayfarers of the night

Dancing damsels with the light

Fading phantoms at Phoebes’ sight

Wishing winter would end
wandering with the wind.
Worthless wishing imparts
Wretched minds seeking rest.
Worship warms the weary.
waiting with willing hearts
wayfarers follow Christ.

The cold consummate summer
eyes unclued
beyond the veil of tears
South were pleasant lands
East was the golden sunrise
the winds strolled gently
West were Mike and Suzie dominion
smiles on their faces
offering no apologies to the wayfarers
they needed no clue

Much like this ride, I'll walk the endless course

As seen among wayfarers’ eyes dark gold

where swallows reel above to reinforce

the edge of night, far fair, I do behold.

A ferryman weeps at the passing of time,
No more shall the hustle of feet fill his dock.
His worth is now waning in industry's prime,
His bane, a behemoth of metal and rock.

Walking on water the wayfarers mock,
His emptying vessel, alone on the bank.
Till memories spun with the turn of the clock,
And the ferryman's boat, to nothingness sank....

cleaving the black rock 
the proud tree blocks wayfarers ---
wild shrubs hail the show

?

speeding naughty yacht
tears white skirts of green waters ---
questioning her course

?

silver waterfalls 
like an Indian widow ---
on a shadow walk

?

rays of morning sun   
play hide and seek with blossoms ---
breeze busy with trees

?

though not autumn time
ferocious maple leaves fall ---
wind escapes from blames

Light falters in through the cracks 
   of an ancient wall
    While the moss grows lime green on 
stones near the shore
    In another land 
people are filled with bright expectations 
   Over the sounding sea 
  the sound of sea horns can be heard 
The broad expanse of the ocean 
   will be crossed 
   As new wayfarers come to our land 
Bringing with them shards of memory 
  of cultures unknown to these shores 
Bringing with them shards of "storied pomp"...

Leave footprints if you must .
On the sands of time in trust
Just remember ….
No footprint is totally foolproof
to be washproof

All is a game
like the tides that tame
Even the strongest surfer …
Eternal to all is time and nothing else
And sparking in the cosmos we are all just wayfarers

Tread softly
Love authentically
Live lovingly
Behave empathically
Speak truthfully
Move consciously
Grow gratefully !

Layering stroke by stroke
the syllables of filtered mist's breath,
eastern winds spin like a circle of tropical
fish and flower beds on a lattice...
and the soft tresses of this air pours
on wayfarers sort of crystal beads new.
Then another circle whistles
inside my flesh, a sponge... an oasis,
bathing loin towel of morn dawning;
how its flavor speaks and lifts 
trinkets of jeweled drops
to lightly swirl away.... mid way.
