Clouds

Clouds become dragons
become clouds
become words.

Why wait?

Why wait?
a breath
a day of sunshine
and this life is gone.

Your sleeping breath on my skin
and then my eyes mirrored in yours.

These few words can only point to the love I feel
waking with you this morning.

Listen

Putting a shell to my ear
I listen to the ocean.
Activity becomes no mind
no mind becomes activity.

Waving pines
in the lake
I am lost in the reflections.

A mosquito
bites my foot
and I pass from one dream to the next.

Pine needles fall to the lake's surface.
The world ripples,
beginning again,
and again.

Rain hammers
and lightning paints the sky bright violet -
illuminating patterns in puddles.
