Go ahead
gaze deep at the sky full of stars
that way you won’t see me
lost staring at you.

Note…I suspect this is not a unique thought.

The water loved the stone
Smooth and polished
Caressed by time
Never without
Always embraced
A constant
Leading to blissful nothingness

if only i could reach the stars
Standing on the shoulder of a giant
Straining at the edge of an earthly ladder
Waiting to break free of gravity’s bind
Sailing the blue arc of earth’s thin horizon
The sun a diamond on that band
Skimming the moonlit ocean
Or swimming in an auroral green
Twinkling above and below
A night with ten thousand eyes
How tiny each precious gem,
beloved each miniscule ember
A small being against an immensity
Knowing but few answers
Pondering unknown questions
Ready, thrilled, and frightful.

Each thought,
Action
Observation
Becomes a journey of words
Sometimes mapless
Certainly pathless
Forging across new lands
A wild herd of phrases
And a twisted forest of letters
Destined to legend

I heard autumn arrive last night
Always on a restless wind
Confused, noisy
Needles afoot
Golden leaves quaking
Cooler skies under a wheeling zodiac
I feel the change too
Time to gather and hunt
A time to prepare
To become one with the endless cycle
To dance again as moons wander
over the amber grass

Our love is the wide open darkness
Transcendant
A knowing, a certitude
The geography is clear and fortified
Simple to find, easy to lose
There is peace in being lost
at the cusp of finding
You are there
but not
because we are one

Here on the ground
the wind rises to a storm
pushed about, buffeted
an autumn leaf on currents
But higher
above the storm
in the clear air
the world is calm
still
We choose to rest
with angels above events
waiting for the tao to unfold
or we fight everyday
forced and forcing
in an opaque whirlwind
under, amid and behind

I stand in a heaven
among the golden aspens
warm wind and leaves raining
trailing a perfume of fall
Wonders grow
with you by my side
to share life’s ebb
(more…)

to walk through a golden world
vibrant yellow and blue
warm skies
smelling my mother
she knows how to create
a heaven on earth today
a template from eons past
the plan for tomorrow after tomorrow
