Good
To Be A River
The water said to the rock, You're so lucky to
be so firm and solid
You're so permanent and
durable
The rock said to the water, You are the lucky one
you flow everywhere
You get to be in the sky, in the
mountains, in the forests, in the oceans, and in the river with
me
The water said to the rock but sometimes I wish I could
be anchored like you
And the rock said
and sometimes I wish I could be taken to a new place everyday like you
are
I am stable, strong and always here to share my
strength
Your strength is in your motion and together we
make this river
And the water said, I carry countless tears,
make green things grow
and knowing you're always there gives
me the strength to do so
Yes, it's good to be a
river
And the rock said, Yes, it's good to be a
river
The Torch
Share what you can when you can
Cast seeds when you find the soil
and repeat what happened the day time began
Sing your song be it loaded or long
It's the carriage to the next front porch the torch
till the next dawn
Your Heart Falls
Your heart falls with the first drop of morning
dew
off a rose
pedal carrying reflections of yellow, orange, and
reds
carrying
venerable and strong colors
hitting the
ground
time
passes
Your spirit rises within the morning mountain
mist
carrying
within the songs of birds
and
the scents of lush green plants
together
lifting upward
all dissolve
into each other as the sun burns through
all breathing
throughout the day
becoming the
wind to dance in till the calm of sundown
with radiant colors applauding
all
Angels
Kissing
As a little girl she made
Snapdragon flowers roar
Saw clouds changing into
animals
Believed thunder and lightning
was caused by angles kissing
Carefully touched the magic
dust on butterfly wings
Tonight the magic dust is
beginning to cast it's spell
As her nipple grows between the
lips of her new lover
And wings of passion stretch
into it's commanding shape
Her fingers in his hair as they
have each other completely
Pleasure without mercy, flames
of colors never seen before
Drowning into the
flames
Sparks of sweat showering their
thirst
As they quake though time and
space
And land into each others
arms
Breathing each others
breath
Never have two hearts pounded
harder or more still
No
Buddha Buts About It
Play the cards
dealt
Never ignoring
heart felt
The rabbit
disappears down his rabbit hole
Some follow some
see nothing at all
Winds ascend the
view
Scents and songs
transformations due
Storm In Your Tea Cup
Lightning can strike
suddenly
You find a storm in your
tea cup
Sweet turns
sour
The rain is too cold too hard
Water making
music
The music will change it's
tune
Skies will
clear
Peace will come
again
The lighting wasn't a
direct hit
Only close enough to throw
you
Fresh tea in a stronger
cup
New Beginnings
build strength to work magic
change the picture to brilliant from tragic
only limits are those you state
it's your time feel it's fate
a warrior of peace
brilliant light to release
draw from its wealth
the wingspan the stealth
that hard road was a gift
every step had its purpose
tomorrow's load a one hand lift
it was what it was
free from the maze
this is now that was then
close eyes to gaze
every soul a friend
All Real Summer's Night
summer's night crickets far off playing a serenade
low in the sky the crescent moon's light painting shadows
spot lighting the trees, rocks, your face and a dream
the ocean air flavors the breeze
one foot in the heavens, one foot on the ground
these seasonings spicing the spirit
sweet as cider your lips feed the fires of all the stars
the beauty of your breasts raise the tide again and again
one foot in a dream, and one foot in the wind
the long awaited union
time slowing to a stop, gravity losing it's hold
becoming the cricket's song, the moon's light, the sea's air
fading into a subtlety sharply profound
a bird flies overhead and cries witness
joyfully confirming it's all real
Details Of The Big
Picture
Crisp night air purges
the day's smog
Hungry to renew to a
golden field
Exhaling misguided
notions that can fill a valley
The stars will vanish
with the sunrise
Swimming upstream to
return to a place of clean water
Open Mic
show time at eight
sign up 7:30
don't be shocked
someone's bound to talk dirty
from a blank piece of paper mysteries come un-woven
bearing the soul the night has been chosen
who will be the jaw dropper
a new voice or familiar face the next show stopper
come a few times
gain more than rhyme
new highs
new lows
new eyes
words becoming geometric shapes
words painting vivid heart aches
stepping stones making mosaics
there is a rabbit hole in Sleepy Hollow
five-minute limit to follow
it's on a grade
it twists and turns
wax and wanes
the entrance is in twilight
the exit delivers you in moonlight
every sunrise will burn with new insight
Just Three Words
Haunted by yesterday
Eyes spinning fast
Tired of thought
Hell with abstract
Finished with metaphor
To be literal
Grow the garden
Eat your meal
Sleep all night
Find an adventure
Awake all
day
The Call Of Spring
Feel that breeze
Hear that bird
See that light on the trees
Take it in
Taste the breeze
Smell the bird's song
Feel the light on the trees
Take it in
Let it spiral
A vortex filling your chest
Share your laughter
Nourishment of the soul
Your soul nourishing the
world
A Place
There's a place where science ends
and philosophy begins
and poetry is present
and all truths lay within an embrace and a kiss.
The Stone Wall
A stone wall lays still in the woods
The summer warmth grows the moss
It's builders and purpose are long gone
and forgotten by all but the wall
A man walking through the woods through his soul
came across the wall
Stopping to rest and reflect he sees the wall as a reflection
The harmony of the woods makes it easier to face his realities
Believing unlike the wall his stones never had a purpose
The man vows to dismantle his tons of rock
Or just let the earth swallow them up
He thanks the wall for the insight and continues on his path
The wall sees another creature come and go
Evening will slowly fall
And another season will quickly call
Late February
The soul's hunger makes the eyes strain
looking for a new plane, feet in frozen mud, hoping for spring
is history repeating with every soul at every moment
seeds and flowers without soil and sky
ready to take root in a place sometimes felt
pearls deep and elusive
holding my breath with every dive
The Church Of Frankenstein: Fire Good!
Hot coals, crackling logs, tall bright flames, intoxicating smoke, dancing sparks
As like many faces of a single life
As like the few generations enjoying the fire together
As like the range we are to be within our hearts
As like seed, soil, sun, wind, rain, time to make the wood to make the fire
As like the awareness, gratitude, blindness, renew
As like poems of prophets
As like a time of peace
The Church Of Frankenstein: Fire Good!
White Tails
put aside the doubt
you have to just trust
when I say I know the way out
rabbits and deer have white tails so their pals can follow
a morning can be near void of bitterness to swallow
pack a meal and water
hightailing it to the border
if you could stand where I am
you'd say the same for he
if I you and you me
Hear the rhythm, See the colors
Sort out my soul
A worthy goal
Seeing art in the cracks
In the world as a whole
Appreciation, gratitude, rage
Every day a new page
Monday a laser
Tuesday a haze
High in an oak
A well delivered new joke
Sailing on a broad reach
A lesson learned
A lesson to teach
The art of living
Challenge of forgiving
My boomerang as it flies
My rope spinning
Watching with mind not eyes
My unicycle spins
Along with the earth
All counter clockwise
All moving forward
Hear the rhythm in my photos
See the colors in my
words
The Yoga Practice
When the student is ready
the teacher will appear
not far off
but near
the teacher within
when found you
begin
returning to the place you savor in
stretching to sky
sweet as
pie
stillness bright as gold
breath deep as sea
troubles on
hold
it's too much of a fee
down to the earth
reaching
feeling a
rebirth
no room for sorrow
only the heartbeat to follow
the practice is
mine
free to fly
making music in time
