Phoenixes tears fall
Burn, Like fire from the rain
Power in weakness
It is said it's tears can heal all ailments physical and ,most importantly emotional

Things are great.
Everything's great.
Except me.
Hey, you!

Over here.

Nothing to say, really.

But everything to tell.

Music, life, tears, and a little bit of love.

Thank you, God.

(My God.)

Thank you.
What are we truly,
Specs of celestial dust.
Kin to sun and stone.
What really matters isn't material, most of the time

an early '90s minimal haiku, published in Modern Haiku.  The ku clearly reflects the zen mode and illustrates the net effect or results of unjustified anger.

Such enigmatic eyes;
Beautiful on the horizon.
Where often rebirth lies, distal skies.
An acrostic poem inspired by duality. It's the first letter of each word that spells the phrase, not the first letter of each line.
I am dust.
Blown by the wind
And rained down
By evaporated seas,
And flowing
And glowing
And starting
A sneeze.

I am dust.
Just a tiny piece
Of earth,
Just a flying piece
Of rock,
not steady,
But ready
for permanent
Change.

I am dust.
Not now,
But always,
And important
Through all days
Like Saturn
Or Plato
Or Gods
On walls.

I am dust.
And as dust flows
And as wind blows
And as my
Soul beats
With ashes,
I will
Forever be
Dust.
Have a look at a piece of dust floating on a down coming ray of light. And exhale towards i, to have its course changed. That is how we both are, you and I, dear reader. Dust, on the waves of time.

She's the slow sort of lover,
The kindle stiking the blaze.
She burns like hot coals; melding
Skin with skin like molten metals.
This wildfire will not be tamed;
Will not bend to any whim.
She grows ever stronger with
The passing summer wind.
