The wind at dawn
rustles every robin
……….whistling.
Raven 05/15/2008
Raven in the road
claws scrape the hissing asphalt
on garbage day.
…
(Raven in the road
waddling to and fro’
his father was a duck!)
Branches 05/14/2008
Branches
writing wands
long fingers bejewelled with buds
spring spills
secrets gone.
Forgive 05/09/2008
I am sorry, please,
forgive me for hurting you
my ego is mean.
…
Allow reparation
in the now and forever
performing better.
…
So hard to be
humble when pride
is free with my speech.
…
Messages in dreams
be more loving toward friends
put Leo pride down.
…
A tight leash
It’s always a tug of war
when wearing a collar.
Empty 05/06/2008
The empty floating bowl
my mind -
the yellow moon
my tides -
I am drawing near
pulling away…
…
I choose a light voice
it comes when called
offering songs and poetry.
…
My silence contains shadows lurking within quiet crevices
praying for mercy between dreams
the struggle with solitude
caught and becoming the web
I linger, I justify, I succumb to fear.
…
Who succumbs?
It’s the ego who fights
Words eventually tire
Creation gets dull and offers no inspiration…
…
Stripped naked, turning to the deathless glow
I see doors opening to my soul
at the place where my humble heart sits
a pause, a breath, and a shift.
…
As a child who knows only devotion and care
(even in her sleep)
We are that yellow moon floating there
on a pulsing sea cradled by mountains
chanting still with the Ancients.
