Hope While the Dragon’s Awake

Spirit of th’ Earth
let us invocate

grace Her with gentle strokes
for purring comfort in Her song

inspiring floodwaters to don
their rainbow mists
into songs of encouragement

not for the morrow
when This Moment will do
to be ours to dream

Farewell for Now (from the Time Capsule)

last light to sail upon thy orbs
shall be my face—
a smile
masking my heart’s melancholy
on your journey
beyond the peaks of dark stars—
a smile
forever a memory
in thy spirit’s lifeline—
until the flesh of my own ghost
adds substance to your dream
and our smiles embrace

Collision of Thoughts (03/24)

‘twas not always a part
of this infrequent dream
where land and sky rendezvous’d
in quiet harmony

but now a distant gap
has been arcanely occupy’d
with another mystery to engage
this already megafusion of senses

what else might be there
on some return trip?

Dream III

splash’d was my mind
with a whisper
of hue on furlough
of age forgotten
of entities that never were

and when my eyes
yawn’d and left their pillow
strain’d I my intellect
only to remember none of it

and still but a partial play
in a future slumber

Privy Lamp Post

where late evenings

awaken

the shadows

reflections

and whispering silence

of her night life

Ghost Citadel

within these ramparts
converse the spirits
of fortress life
of defenders
of battles won to preserve that life
of battles lost and lives lost

this magical day
decipher’d their stories
into song across the sky
on the Backbone of Day

Haven of Reflection

where shadows of thoughts

perceive irenic meaning

and sleeps disruption
