1 Gentle Ways
Sleep my dearest child
and wake the slumber of your dream
that melts the darkness of its light
into the beauty of your life.
That yet you know will follow you
through the misty breath of dusk
that knows the learning of the way
so you will know the caress of time.
And when you wake my dearest child
all that comes is yours to live
traveling through last night’s dream
where life’s gentler ways were blessed to you.
2 Welcomed
I’ll lie in my grave
without a flower or tear
they’ll be only the dirt and the desolate cold.
But bid me no sorrow or a remembrance of when
for once I was life covered in love
when she welcomed my life into hers.
3 Shared Vision
Revelation and twilight
and a lone evening star
naked to luster
as God to his light.
Accompanying the brightness
into the purity of night
where touched by the moonlight
it becomes the song of their sharing
a serenity of prayer into the waking of
the benevolence of life in its living voice
a vision of a love within the infinity of birth
joining humanity to the purity of light.
4 NO title
Naked hills and valleys
slaved by sleet and ice
appears in silent glisten
as daybreak breaks the night.
And what’s to gain in twilight
will more the beauty be?
As slips away the fiery rage
into a majesty of solitude.
5 More Then What it is
The snow is pleased today
gentled by a warming sun
for a time a knowing of
a realm of what’s it’s not.
It always dreams in dialogue
within the southwest breeze
grieving more then what it is
a shallow breath never full.
6 No Title
A perfect poise in prose
her elegant petite.
A turquoise sky of emerald
her life in natural grace.
7 No title
Daffodils dream
of springtime dew
as a sleeping rose
awaits the warmth.
An autumn aster
in a delightful mood
feels a chill
in the afternoon sun.
8 Time
Time becomes a shadow through a door.
Where an older women wails,
to the memories of butchered fish,
and years of dreams in frozen gills:
Lovebirds, ice cream, and pink champagne,
and a lovers whose hands that were as soft as chiffon.
9 Desires
Desires are few wed to the dream:
A life full of nymphs,
with flowing blond curls.
A boat from Scheveniger ,
full of opals and pearls.
And the streamer of love,
joining the heart to the soul.
And a morning of youth,
that will never dwell in its dusk.
10 Simple Pleasures
Scented and dry
the perfumed breeze
brings the song
of a mockingbird.
Field of flowers
plumage colors
beauty and peace
easy day.
So it is
simple pleasures
speaking of love,
speaking to us
as into your eyes
and you in my hand
move into each other
like the warmth into the spring.
11 Obscure
An altered night of crawling waters
upon a shore of a trapping image
beguiled as sands where petals sprinkle
lilacs reaching for the greeting.
Enter midnight coy to listen
decoded by harmonic voices
speaking of repenting visions
waiting for a late revision.
