I catch glimpses
of places visited, made home, rushed past,
or settled upon to stay
within others.
Fragile words, bold thoughts,
color formations streaming
hearts brought forth
reborn from decay
Lovers lightly fanciful
bewitching with Eros
behind novelty movements
at play
Caution
what ifs?
meeting from bridge to bridge
over semblance
Witnessing beauty
quietly withheld in awe
sacredly untouched
among archaic views.

Becoming awake
Sometime after midnight
Purity ringing through expression
Leaping with desperate thoughtfulness-
From your sweet definition
Moreover noticing subtleties-
beautifully impulsive
Never forgetting late insomniacs-
of kindness and binges of love
all too stunning to even
give form nor speak of...
Lightening doesn't have a sound
and neither does this-
only found is illumination of presence.

Lying across the lush humid moss
dusty trees foster a veil of privacy
Swaying willows softly moan into the dying breeze, each graceful crossing branch-slapping out tunes in harmony
Dancing leaves claw and scrape the earth underneath, touching and crumbling in musical ecstasy
A berry ripe for picking
nestles deeper in the foliage
shivering and trembling
seeking solemn warmth
As the distant sun backs out of view
the ambitious moon
finishes its silky crawl
setting a mosaic mood
The shaded forest comes alive
playing the enchantress
balking at the day
Consuming the light
with shallow breaths
and quenched acceptance
welcome the fervor of the night.

A reflection of spirit
warm benevolent embraces
flood my being
until at once
I am sprung full of holes
sprouting translucent
pools of love.
Never ashamed
timid or bothered
by this outpouring.
It is the purest and finest who care
in all these pursuits and endeavors
reaping the cascading benefits
of putting someone else
graciously above yourself.
Coming out of the circle
reaching the clouds
feeling full amidst the crowds
peaceful, gaiety, light
insightfully humble and happy.
I have been in flight
and heard the capacious call
of the mourning dove.

Seeking solace and peace
I walked barefoot
down to the creek
Rested in my favorite spot
near the trickling waterfall
now slightly dried up
Dipped in my feet
felt a little cool relief
as I watched my reflection
cast a strange rainbow-
of color and prisms
off the gleaming stream
and droughty rocks
Like a fish out of water
lost in blushing shades of love
heavenly higher
from a place unspoken of-
breathless with wonder
I sat and listened
for what seemed like forever
finally returning home at dusk
filled with many sweeping thoughts
of drifting wanderlust.

I think some move
lightly through each other
and some just gush through
I've always thanked God
for those-whom I love
on earth at the same time
Cognating under
the same sky
Breathing the
doublet droplets
of air
Lofting under
blanket cloud cover
up high
Residing under
matching hemispheres
Roused together and awake
during unexplained times of day
So much eminence
of loveliness
I sometimes feel fate.

I'm trying to pay attention
as miles scatter
across scenery.
Wheat toppling over softly,
one after another
each glorified tree
stands caressing uneven-
among quiet farms
tucked away almost sleeping.
Yet nothing can
dazzle as others do,
even with this beautiful
preening all around.
Sadness comes in spurts
as distance spreads
over crested valleys.

Eminently most nights
you enter my dreams
falling languidly
within each
moving ethereal scene
The first light of morning
feels cold and unwelcoming
an imposing enemy
waiting for me to rouse
staring blankly
carrying me away
from my most precious clouds
Sleep and the peaceful state
of 'just being'
has become my most
sought after friend indeed
upon awakening
I recall with wonder
who is luckier?
you or me?

In the tranquil dim light
stillness befalls my worried mind
the many irrational thoughts
escape and fluently drift away
Through a placid expanse of-nothingness
each our hour runs together
no clocks herald a unified chime
Peacefully now detached
from this unfamiliar shell
what do you wish for?
a dedication to love?
an oral drug?
Would it suffice and please
to hear the word cried out
in a dramatic exclamation
or thespian tone?
Do you want to feel it in your center?
being guided within an untouched
organic world
not your own
No confusion, lust, or shallow trust
but rather something dormant
lying within before your birth
Growing as a child
ragged with green knees
from climbing trees
A misty eyed girl, clapping as the room
darkens to sing the birthday tune
Timeless
resplendent memories.

Somewhere in a peaceful dream
thoughts elapse in passing
quietly awakening
nudging softly
adhering to the new morning
Before the hatching sun
or the birth of dawn
flows through everything
in unison
Virtuous wishes lightly come
heavenly from above
woven through barren space
with love
Each one more beautiful
than the last
brightening the day
before it has yet
been cast.
