Ghost with Child

yesterday
lightly keen’d the heavens
that today
into fresh gardenscapes a breath
might empower hallow’d Mother
her Newborn-To-Be to bequeath
with the gift of wondrous Spirit

tides

Her every respiration
paints a unique flow
ne’er to be echo’d

yet a delightful lure
in reverie
even while She rests

’tis the Love
betwixt Land and Sea

saber dance

though I parry and thrust
against spirits of the surface sky
 
for now
more than my rehearsal
against latent evil

I am imbued in peace
 
in Nature’s harmony

lens watch

camera ensnares
another face in the crowd
to wax database

thoughts in hand

Us
within a carousel
of swimmers and joggers
of low surf castle builders
of gulls and lost kelp
of sky and sand and ocean
and of all their speeches—
even then
sometimes
it’s just Us

Three Sisters

a tribe of Goblins
born from lovers Rain and Wind
consum’d by Silence

Time

from fertile Emptiness and Nowhere
springs forth Fire’s umbilical cord
and the joyful cries
of a fascinating Jewel
compos’d of
More than Everything
