She's been leaving for months
sitting still long time gazing ahead
between woodland graves of companions
one whose habits came hers when she died
( we saw the transmission take place
when nestled together one night )
greeting each visitor in the driveway
and hunting
my garden cat
Lately all night under stars or clouds
no coming in for man lap naps
exploring high places indoors for daysleep
then cuddling in small low cocoons
Our connection deep by departure
assured her long job was complete
K Mae Sep 2013
on scaffolding of my delight
step sure onto sharp angles right

then fall through rotting layers of wrong
play hologram dear martyr's song
  
conceived in blind faith follow
spiral maze of story's wallow
  
inaction wrapped desire
calling forth creation's fire

*
*emerge onto no ground
find self
disband
embrace
surround

Imagine Self
       excited in the dream
            abeam , aglow
   Companions in this space
        igniting with their own
              reflected fire
     All expanding creation
The imagination is our true self, and is in fact the living, creating God within us.

age resists sleep
with dreams too vast for lying prone
aware that time in this free zone
may end with a quiet nod
**immortal valor once was mine
a human gift as such divine
K Mae Sep 2013
subdued in silence in hopes of a word
shocked then the flowers assuring our love
after tale forlorn so easily cured
it is clear that stories serve nothing
no power this wand except in surrender
to that which this moment seems real
K Mae Aug 2013
with words fresh in time
uncanny to the point
              gift wisdom and support
           under need undefined
                    shining light  in scribe darkness
          stranger  alchemized  to  love
