Awakened
I sense a presence

a brilliant star
in a black eternal sky

hovering

elusive
ethereal
=================
sometimes
in the night
we feel her

she is the fog

drifting in

drifting out

just a breath away

a part of life
the other side

in those darkest
stillest hours
that hushed time
between
the worlds of dark
and light

she's just above
just around
twirling
flitting
changing partners

================
May I have this dance?

she takes a hand
and leads the soul
onto the dance floor
where it pirouettes

freely

separate from its fleshly burden
soft and circling

she smiles  
all is well

once more she has a partner

I sleep again
my soul intact
having not yet
learned the dance
Old one...A re-write/renamed.

This morning I awoke,
You were the first thing on
My mind:
You were the sunrise
Spreading your golden rays
Across the sky.

This morning I woke up
You were the fresh rose
In my garden
Your tender petals blowing
In the cooling breeze
Your celestial fragrance
Gently fills the morning scent.

This morning I woke up
And memories of you and
Your ever-glowing beauty
Enfolds me like the fresh
Morning breeze-
Cool,
Gentle
Soothing and
Refreshing.

This morning I woke up
And you were the essence of life.

A green, ungiving pond
In an exhausted park
Held with an iron bond
His stagnant equilibrium.

Hanging like a scimitar
suspended in the sky,
the moon beside a gleaming star
is pleasing to the eye.
How desolate, this satellite
in airless ebon space
and yet, from here
‘tis beautiful
filagree & lace.
