fires fluid feeling
flames flickering forth
frozen rain falling

light's tattered approach
breaks our mourning's dark advance
glimmering with hope

dying season ends
air carrion perfumed still
only leaves rustle

brewed this ill tempest
constructed on evil tides
umbrellas in floods

ages in silence
eons of melting tears carved
invisible change

beware pied pipers
mesmerizing harmony
hypnotizing you

tidal flats titan
appear for epic battle
gladiator crab

working collections
becoming redeemables
alaskas ten cents

walking darkened roads
beaten paths worn long ago
street lamps haunting me

this horror so real
pulls tears from our deepest wells
leaving thirsty souls

blinded by your sight
seeing you staring at me
veiled in such beauty

his heaven divine
where my souls cornerstone points
orientated

earth to sun
divided by sun's diameter
one hundred and eight
earth to moon
divided by moon's diameter
one hundred and eight
one hundred and eight
times four
four hundred thirty two
times
four hundred thirty two
the speed of light
in seconds
that Great Pyramid
tiny scale model
one hemisphere
of earth
one
to forty three thousand
two hundred
hmmm...

why do you have to
leaving my shivering cold
darkness finding fear

illusions so real
interfering certain sight
battle for their minds

never really is
it instantly becomes was
now's already gone

early fire season
human anger sparking flames
rainforests seem safe

slowly creeping tide
covering aged docks seaside
tasting salty air

red skies burning fire
fanning pyres of human hate
under blood moon moods

cold electric stare
faceless futuristic affair
missing human care

winds whipping wild seas
liquid tempest from feared skies
seagulls swirl with glee

peering down upon myself
with wagging finger with shaking head
rubbing my eyes in disbelief
will I ever truly see

walking down Main Street
cracked sidewalks you can’t avoid
breaking momma’s back

from many forms one
easily unlocked this heart
universal pick

each precious instance
whether hated or cherished
become part of me

it's been silent here
in the quiet when you come
with sweet whispering

cosmic wheels revolve
always coming back around
smoothed by endless turns

dancing in darkness
mercurial shining stars
on rippled water

her bounty unleashed
freed crystalline streams rush forth
rainbows dart beneath

shifty character
forked tongue in two sided mouth
watching weasels squirm

standing wild eyed under such wonder
strangely amazed this not learned before
my blinded eyes can finally not ignore

one day he was so
fast forward that disappears
without a rewind
small momentary pauses
never stop father's progress

with love be always
words as rocks to break upon
making yourself whole

people just walk by
without simple eye contact
let alone hello

green fringes now curled
morning chills streak them yellow
summer colors fade

formless shapes retreat
before light slowly creeping
exposing darkness

calming peace arrives
precious clarity appears
placid lakes reflect

each line on her face
sing songs from our younger days
i love listening

silencing moments
throughout our human unkind
mourn hiroshima

wings beating faster
stealthily hoverIng still
effortless motion

her vision my guide
drawing me ever closer
those green eyes beckon

her stalking silent
prepping her reapers to sow
patiently preying

glorious pastels
adorned his palatte today
peachy skin sunset

frozen park Sunday
snowy men waving away
moose eating carrots

this final north wind
chilling our early spring hopes
ripples thawed water

light has momentum
with darkness fast retreating
each day now longer

how easily spun
your frenzy their driving force
chained to spinning wheels

end always looming
dark specter ever scanning
sickle glistening

my dreams are the wind
trapped in my desperate sails
tacking home to you
