Crane of Paradise
Seductress
of eyes athirst
of lovers faithful
to Truth
of ideas embracing
wherefore of Life
Winter
polar mist
upon me descends
my raiment to shed
myself to slumber
to hibernate
to muse
of the wonderscape
outside my dream cave
till on my brow
comes knocking
the breath of Spring
mystic dandelion
be we but pollen
feeding firm Emptiness
knocking on Night’s sleeping doors
to taste a Lifetime
to aspire for Another
even if Eternity be lore
and beyond our reach?
we’ll see
or not
4 cameras
enthrall’d this moment
by what we are capturing
while we are captur’d
vulture
wings on waves of wind
silhouette circling the sun
dare my other eyes
one breath
winds of gray
unsure footings
restless waters
with ease or burden
matters not
so long as one voice
harmonizes our sails
so be our time fulfill’d
the way we were
some said rebellion
so unsound for some of us
just another phase
farmer
his grandsire’s needs
overtaken
by today’s
whose needs
be overtaken
by its own overBirth
Via Appia Antica
since Antiquity,
Today, maybe Tomorrow,
all roads still lead here
Aurora
lips ‘twixt Earth and Sky
Dawn’s peerless dream of lost Love
of refound Passion
lovers of animal lovers
“Yasus!
Hello!”
from opposite sides
of the world
drawn
connect’d
family
if only
for an instant
in a lifetime
“Thank you!
I’ll take that treat now.
Efcharisto!”
limitless
eyes overwhelm’d
by Heaven’s chandeliers—
minds challeng’d
by roofless Night
yet what of microcopics
and their microscopics?
a universe in a drop
of Nothingness
Beginning and End
found in empty baskets
on Time’s doorstep—
a trial of credence
spindrifter
Mr. Sun
still rubbing sand
from his eyes
imparting gray
to the seascape
his yawn
churning froth
across charging swells
a dare
against th’ impudence
of uncaring loneliness
a smile
in defeat or victory
a rematch
certainly more
even beyond Mr. Sun’s
undressing gray for blue
heath
descendants
from artless love
of loam
of rain
of flame
of hearts
both rhythmic
and silent
let cast
an eye
an ear
and savor
their spiritual touch
their wonder
and know why we are
