Maybe we cry sometimes
to be able to see with fresh eyes.

Nestled
Within the crackle of a fire
Whispered
In the voices of the wind
Resting
Just beyond the nights first desire
Dawning
Outside the morning and it’s halo ring

a companion piece to
miniskirts & high heels vs. poetry & yoga^
<•>
a couple of buds at a local dive bar, drinking Buds,
talking loud about technology
and other manly man stuff
attract attention for our conversation isn't bout sports,
get approached by long legs in high heels and a miniskirt,
with the best come on line ever
any woman invented,
"you guys know about computers, huh?"
later after reading twenty or so of her poems,
and learning the degree of difficulty of the
downward facing dog pose
(adho mukha svanasana)
she said:
tell me again how I
*clear my cache,
change my font,
add more memory for new memories,
stop auto correct from making wont into want,
so I can happy write*
"wont thy thoughts to my heart thereof"
so I obliged and then
the geek in meek wrote
his first poem
after first clearing the catch
in his throat

I lay in the center of a meadow,
My eyes trail the drifting clouds above,
tracing their paths and drawing sketches on the blue canvas.
Towering evergreen trees surround the meadow,
their leaves creating a ornamental border,
A frame for the flowing sky.
The clouds drift past, into and out of the frame,
a slow parade of shapes
shifting and changing, coming and passing.
This slide show of white swirls dances for me,
in drawn out motions like molasses ebbing from a tree.
They envelope my sight, roots spread from the
back of my head into the meadow floor,
connecting and expanding,
melding me to the ground.
I lay for hours, the clouds morphing to the clear
nights sky, bathing me in moonlight.
Shining stars vibrate, shake in their molds,
and I listen closely to their hushed advice.

Blazing aurora
then a little, gold wolf sings
whilst watching the girl

A surgeon reaches down a path
And walks out with the heart of the woods
Be it beating slow or beating fast
The hikers pray
That the woodlot surgeon puts it back
In the heart of it
Where the woods still belong
Strong...as they once grew strong

Something very deep inside
Something I have tried to hide
Somewhere farther than my mind
Something I don't understand
Something deep inside my head
Somewhere I can't really get
Something that I just have found
Something big something unproud
Somewhere no one ever got
Something huge
Something new
Something scary
Something I will work out soon
Somewhere only me and moon
Thinking deeply, using time
Feeling like myself and I
Shall the weirdness stop that day
It ain't meant to stay forever
I will deal with it, find the reason why
This new challenge shall begin!
And the light is there to guide
Through the darkness of my mind
Through confusion, through the night.

Don't lose
Your knowledge
Darling
Don't get lost
In your brain
Expecting
Something bad
Is surely
The wrong way
But good is
To rethink
The attitude
You have
To question it
In logic
There's a proof
Ahead
Step further
Don't be worried
Nothing can stop you now
Examine to the fullest
The free feeling
The round
The evident
The present
The beautiful
The rare
Emotion
Moment
Ground
Obsession
Love and care

Clearing my throat
So I can find new words to throw out
My ammo is running out
They've turned into foam darts
Now I don't want to speak
Not because I'm timid and week
But I have had enough of this mickey mouse crap this week

Things fell away like
leaves from a tree.
Long nights, elusive dawns.
Then out of nowhere,
you appeared.
The world wasn’t
caving in after all.
Just a clearing of space
for something new to emerge.
