Cumulus Rejoice

Most cherished of thoughts, ideas abloom, 
spreading, expanding
Overcoming harsh crushing repression, 
breaking loose into a fluffy
sacred cloud bound emancipation 
Liberation! My spirit takes flight, light, 
mellow, blithe and callow 
No longer crushed prostrate 
'neath the crushing tyranny of the basis gossip 
I inhale an atmosphere crisp and fresh, 
bounding upward, deep into the wide blue

A STILLED POND

A STILLED POND

Once a wet playground,
A ducks' and frogs' Disneyland!
Now quiet and stilled:-
Winter is no friend to ponds;
freezing out their livelihoods:-

A Stilled Life

Frost-charred, an Ash limb
casts its arm above a creek.

A soundless water ripples beneath,
all untouched by light or shade -
a stillness etched into
a reverie of motion.

Snow hangs in the air
undisturbed by any breath,
if a twig is snapped now,
it might break the sky.

I have a pebble in my hand,
I could throw it, cast a counter-spell,
to shatter the

Beyond the mourning of bereavement no stilled tears

Beyond the mourning of bereavement no stilled tears

Today marks fifth anniversary of tragic deaths
an aching breaking heart – mine
remembers four extinguished breaths.

dashed – not while riding off
in a white horse open sleigh,
but upon learning untimely demise 
regarding prosperous family, 
whose small plane crashed August 8, 2019.

They lived ~ three doors down from us
farther than one

Solid Harden Bleak Stilled Heart-

Solid harden black stilled heart
Blood flowing yet spiritually stuck
Tired and exhausted toward the mouth
Cold, miserable distain spewing out 
spinning, twirling like a flag on a pole
Dripping, driving like a man on a mission
Repented on the fallen on knees 
Solid harden black stilled heart

Stilled Life

brightness
mocks the darkness
furrowed footprints
wander
across the blank page
blown clean
by gusty gales
cold taunts lifeless trees
a lone leaf dances
to a distant drummer

Drilled Stilled Steady

The click and the lock.
The cuddle up to the scope.
The power of the thought that now I can kill a man.

The test on my soul.
The barrel facing home.
The knowledge that death is in my hands.

The rifle is ready.
I hold drilled, stilled steady.
A movement now ends a life.

The crack in my soul.
The bullet let go.
The silhouette

The Holy Bell Only Rings Once

The holy bell rings
With happiness and cheerfulness
A man and a woman
Say yes face to face
In front of a priest
Instantly
The mother-in-law's eyes
Turns stilled
Seems to say
The holy bell only rings once
Don't you ever forget your promise

Stilled Life a Pictorial Genre

floral fluidity 
     disclosed 
in fragile beauty

artifacts announced 
                in allegory
a semblance 
     of stilled life 
ornate 
yet commonplace 

enjoyment ancient&modern 
in fragments 
       of familiarity
assemblage

Stilled

Stilled.


A dream of Heaven on Earth is first,
And then a wish to fly with birds,
And then a want to make it so;
So we evolve and on it goes.


From worms we grow to become Kings,
And things are dreamed and eventually seen,
And in-between we become keen,
To find the source of everything.


Desire is the light that burns inside,
From

Farewell-Stilled Heart-

Farewell, stilled heart

They say, all good things must end
Why?
Why you leave
life plagues the soul
I grieve for love
Why?, Why did you go
for I may never see the truth
So absolute
You heart stop beating love for me
loneliness is my new companion
why are you gone?
What went wrong?
You no longer play our song, darling…

as I clasp my hands and shed

Stilled Moment of Belonging

Big banged universe
nascent space expands
wraps time at birth in eternity
a 4D time space warped lattice
mirage of relativity illusion.

In the couldron of desolate life 
within bleak niche of loneliness
crunched cosmos of mind
collapses in singular space
soul shrinks to a speck
in diminished vastness of void.

In ardent precinct of pristine love 
two love-locked hearts
entwined in infinite continuum
time contracts to

Stilled Time

one moment
seems eternal
in your absence
