…tears would show!
Be brave – you are he …
summer withdraws …
…
Dry-eyed
I saw. Then heard
as the first frost fell.

Om Bhur Bhuva Soha
Tat saviteur vareynium
Bhargo devasya dimahi
Dyo yo nah prachodiat.

(one) TRANSLATION FOR THE GAYATRI MANTRA:
We put our focus on
our self effulgent light: earth air and beyond
which illuminates our subtle intellect
for the healing benefit of all beings.
…
Harvest time has passed
the season exhales…
tonight seems longer still.
…
The air turns cold –
touching his skin
restless by moonlight
…
A silent wind stirs the leaves
whispers of sun
call him home…
…
Lay down all burdens –
your self, the fallow sound
a garden gate closing…
…
What is this?
Freedom to move!
Limbs like spring currents
…
O, that light is so vital
shimmering on the water –
inhale deeply and dive underneath.
…
The surface is broken
only ripples remain
of a man crossing the river
…
His family and friends cheer
voices lifting the fall chill
distant bells sounding VICTORY.
…
…
…
Salt sprinkles –
seagulls scatter
order the fisherman’s platter
…
Their team must have scored!
Seagulls cheer — a fever pitch –
rising from the shore…
…
New life drawn from old
leaves — once buds — soon turn to soil…
birds pick through for seed
…
Unstruck match
burning –
hands with no form
holding –
the night sky turns to ash…
…
…
From the darkness breaks
…
…
dawning light gives cause for praise…
…
…
guides us through this maze.
…
…
A soot tanned hand cups –
stirring steam rises from first meal
indigo skies come sniffing.
