Breathing
scents
of fallen
rose petal
secrets
Unwrapping
tied up
boxes
of lost
surprises
Waiting
while tear drops
melt
false maskes
from me
Staring
into mirrors
of screaming faces
behind
shadow smiles
Knowing
layers
illusions
are dissolving
my truth
is being
revealed

there is nothing
that so beguiles
as when a child looks up
and smiles

a lone form sits
in front of fire
a sacred glow
on sea of black
as sparks rise
to eternity
I warm my hands
cold nips my back
giant shadows shelter me
dark branches reach for stars
I shiver
then look out again
as time swims into hours
a tiny speck of being I am
no more no less than all
alone
yet somehow one
I know the peace of home
a hint of bright appears beyond
a light begins to grow
moon man crawls up into night
revealing worlds below
in silent silver majesty
on every hill I see
the silhouettes of noble elk
taking midnight tea
the curtain lifts
strange voices shriek
a thousand years unfold
as Nature’s unseen opera shouts
to spirits now and old
with these wild
coyote swoons
I watch Man’s dreams
fly past the moon

Image by Fred Moore
stone silent sat
the silhouette
in front of screaming sky
gold, orange, red
and brilliant blue
a day had drifted by
time ran lost
through canyons steep
sandstone carved by gods
warm wind echoed
ancient feet
ghosts passed by with nods
as my soul watched
from Life above
the dream below unfold
a gringo Buddha
slowly smiled
at stories yet
untold

You
can never be possessed
only devoured
Delicately
Consumed with abandon
Caressed
Yet never touched
to love you
I must surrender
all desire to own
and release any hope
of forever
then
perhaps
from this gloried chaos
comes oneness

standing silent on the sand
as time drains from my mind
I see a lone heart on the beach
a love that once was mine
you asked for love
you let me in
to see
your wounded soul
you shared your shame
but did I hear
sadly, I said “no”
your heart screamed
did I feel your pain
no,
I hid behind my walls
afraid to love again
I violated sacred trust
your tears a silent shout
and now lost in loneliness
mere words will never count
I know now a larger love
That cries we’re not apart
too late though in my emptiness
I see footprints on your heart

must I teach
my soul to love
or is it written
in the dna of Creation
woven into the fabric
of being
?

I know
it’s coming
something unseen
unstoppable
something that
will explode
my reality
it’s hopeless
oh…
b-u-r-r-p!
