Along the river fishermen cast
and wait, under the willow's shade
soon fish dine in dusk's light
Mayflies wing in ecstacy

Ben

again and again
the, Thy, story does not end

I watch the people come and go
near lake's hidden lilys, again and again

fiddle like winds play a tumbling riddle
brown leaf ghosts dance music eternal

distant wild cactus flowers crack open
like Rumi's heart, a sacred mystery of love

where wind chimes sound good bye
and Theseus' ship still sails, by and by

labor day play

laborers and bees
swarm in simple ignorance
dancing in sun's dreams

Sandalwood

The crackling pine cones of summer
silent in the early autumn mists
shouting geese gathering in dancing lake
the world lays back north for winter slumber

bridge

this moon's hair out shines
shadowy currents outlines
on black river's lane

Comma

a fishing hook dangles from a branch
did the fisherman go home with a fish?

Making up Sense (*)

Written words placed well
spoke metered sound wells
chimes sing in fluent breezes
spelling thought's current
memory caching
celestial spheres' music

Poets chew your food
drunk on cobble streets
bumbling, humming a tune
dreaming alphabets
Lasso' poly-phones
kidnapped by rhyme and resin
