receptivity
moon yawns out day
flames flicker the dawn
con-scious-ness
rises in drowning
and bubbles up again
“here now child,”
it echos, “just feel feelings”
and the adult resists
seasons color change
blue years to red seconds
head into sunlight heaven
divine intuition speaks
out of in our hearts
essence of expanding
a single lopsided wilt rose
the metamorphosis of
a dreamer who is not here
old man in the old cafe
he reads all day
long pauses pleasing
soggy California
a deer framed by headlights
predator and prey
water cleanses me
rapids under rope bridges
wind chimes of I, I, I…
the more I relax
water cleanses I of me
the more you will see
my smirk in the light
like waves lap on distant shores
****** mermaids; higher kites
