Passion Key (from the Time Capsule)

fronds of amethyst spellbound
by a fragrance from heaven

whins of sapphire tittering
on a clear night

tendrils of turquoise in song
to a warm heart

the ruby of a rainbow the star
of a summer’s rain

it is You

Sloop

wide open sea

overcast

a breath of breeze

whispering tide

not a craft in sight

just her and I

relaxing under our sails

taking it all in

embracing this moment

One Portrait of Love

love is not just a pretty face
it is an aura that beckons love
love of nature
love of life
desire for everyone to love
to share love with th’ unlov’d
real love is not imaginary
sense the love within my heart?
then love me to know
your love is also real

Someone’s Perfect Spot

a couple of arboreal neighbors
sharing a daytime scene—

hearing Nature’s tongue
an avenue of rippling voices
cheerful expressions
their sisters joining in the fast lane
making wishes to go on forever—

away from honking brake lights
away from cement
away from the Cloud—

hoping for Today’s twin
be Tomorrow

Snake

I am fear’d
I am eschew’d
I am hunt’d
I am food
I am medicine
I am a pet
I am charm’d
I am admir’d
I am worship’d

I am a Serpent
… with Respect

Sedona

psychical energies
on a lightning carousel

chasing façades
to unknowns

enhancing cognizance
in search of a cure for the soul

Pressing Your Luck

a wish on every tap of a button
a cheer on every win
a frown on every loss

yet despite many bells and whistles
at day’s end
The House is in the Black

… and always will be

through weather and fire
through footsteps and sharpen’d blades

surviv’d her seed
to become a dinosaur among the living

with hope to snatch the finish line
against modern civilization
and sire more heads in the clouds
