Nature’s fragrances
Breath of firmament Spirits
so savor’d by us

Spider Craft (from the Time Capsule)
my veil’d fishing net
my temporary campsite
my raindrop canvas
Olden Birds
Hello again, my friend
Another decade
And we’re still here
You a bit ruffl’d
I a bit grayer
Should the time come
when I no longer see you perch’d here
or you no longer see me—
let’s cherish the memory of our little chats
Flower Power
through flavor and touch
through beauty and redolence
their energy speaks
21
some say
the kid is gone
a man now
in a world of new rules
new accountability
new maturity
new virility
new sensibility
new rationality
but will whisper the heart
in the far tomorrow
about the kid who never left
Berth Rest
here
our thoughts
wish themselves
about inland shoals
where beauty
be Mistress
her peace
overlaying strife
her wisdom
impart’d
for at least
this moment
better
to be shar’d
with tomorrow
Kiss (from the Time Capsule)
like
solitary Cinder uplift’d
by the song of Nature’s breath
fades the melody
fades her wings
to alight upon a needle of pine
to slumber
to emerge from her cocoon
a candle of hope
an armor’d torch
scourge of the Forest
drown’d into ashes
the starving Ground
to suckle new saplings
richer than before
so too
a simple peck from your lips to mine
shall inflame the bond of our flesh
till our spirits slip into th’ Innerworld
where all seasons are one
Night to his pillow of dreams
as squints Day and stretches her light
to awaken Love beyond measure
Dawn 2022
Today
rings the Sun’s doorbell
of Hope’s anniversary
when spirits last shook hands
so much time
in so little time
now a mane of snowfall
melt’d to a mist
fresh candles nudg’d from their beds
then lull’d back to their pillows
conceiving vapors of renew’d confidence
another boast
another test of the sinew
of that boast
another venture
into the mysterious forest of light
the memory of a sleepless eye
