Fire from the Sky
woodlands scorch’d to ash
beasts ambush’d to annihilation
compost’d soil
somehow
be brought abed
of newer but divergent woods
of newer but divergent beasts
of future
vigilant scientific eyes
Big Laguna Meadow 2024
perfum’d breeze whispering
from Her forestal sea
once widespread
till the birth of the ax and pavement
now hidden in safeness
from th’ eyes and clamor
of high rises and freeway parking lots
Desert View
tributaries
of leaf
rock
and sand
holding hands
with eyes
of a woodland sea
where our own perception
has strength regain’d
where aching shoes
be soon forgotten
Dream Pollen 3
a strong wind
of uncontrol’d thought
blows like a cue ball
into families of rem
scattering kin to and fro
changing dance partners
the real with the unreal
most of which will be forgotten
others for safekeeping
till the next runaway gale
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
