Poetry

soul's light
star so bright
touch my soul oh heavenly sight
end of fright
no more plight
you and me, new angels in flight

Barking dog
Biting cold
Shivering child
Growing old Weep for me
Cry  for you
Wall of tears ...

Beyond the gray raven's reach
Furrowing deeper into the cliff's crevasse
The tension built
As the fear was as heavy as the rocks
Heart beating so fast
In just an instant ...

I saw a ghost
It all flooded back
Passion, fire, beauty, bound to her... Anything for you
I offer all that I am, all that I could ever be
To you
You spat me out ...

Seventy-four Join the procession
Dancing down the sidestreet
With a stranger Seventy-five Close your eyes
Fill your lungs with new breath
Visualize Seventy-six Filled with me
Thrusting, melding ...

No smell of smoke
After the great fire
Made pure in grace
Perfected in Your midst Holy Lord, Cleanse me
Flood me
Fill me Amen

exposing all
to the deepest core
opposing factions
fire and ice taking as i am
to the deepest place
surrendered foes ...

Willingly return to dust
Deep fulfilling place
Path of life through death
Falling on my face Humble Lamb of God
Shows the way to life
Died to lead the way ...

As I looked out upon the bright day's sky
It occurred to me that this canvas was created
Just for me
And so
I began to create
Just for you Upon the grass of emerald green ...

Dream
Believe
Create
Attain Upon the rippling flow of all
Swan appears from the mist
Beauteous notes of the faeries near ...

walking on the shore of the river
she landed on my shoulder
for several moments i was unsure
but, then i knew... light subtle touch
magical breezes
from fluttering wings ...

Beyond the wall of self,
past the veil of eternity,
where the spring of creation flows... we sip,
we conceive,
we determine... all that will be... deterministic urges
choosing the new way ...

As we drift toward the place
Where places cease to matter
Rivers of raging thoughts
Find the whirlpool to the void Peace of the dark calm night
Flight of the holy ravens
Formless against the moonless sky ...

i climbed the highest mountain
exhausted by the journey
i looked into the ice
reflection i saw
same as that of the quiet pond
in the valley below ...

Out of the darkness
New hopes appear
Friend of the ages
Come and draw near From the deep stillness
Taking my hand
Castle of ancients ...

In the silent heartbeat
Of the wandering child
There lives
The Light of Creation In the waning glow
Of a visiting angel
Is awakened ...

mystic awareness, mind falls
fallen mysteries, silent halls
hallowed beacons, wonder calls
wandering angels, falling walls take me to the deepest place
as one, we feel divine embrace
ending sorrows, love erase ...

Melodic tempest, flowing free
New creation, springs from me
Mind of All, knowing Three
With open eyes, look to see Child's heart, loves to play
Dawning night, ending day
Angels' words, hear them say ...

Circle of comfort
Find a time of rest
Walk, sleep, reside, weep
Accept the song of the soul Breaking out of time
Fly to find release
Creation's fresh dream ...

disbelief
disillusioned
hurt one too many times
tempted to let the wound bleed free
an end to the tearless misery take the child
to the great depths ...

Time stood still as you entered my life
Kind eyes softened my once hardened heart
I dreamed that one day I might be your wife
Your caring ways lifted me from the very start From the very first instant I saw that shy look
From the moment I felt your first kind embrace
I hoped that I might have what it took ...

Water
Light
Flow
Be Blood
Healing
Savior ...

Beautiful dreamer, touch my soul tonight
Resplendent memories, visions never end
Messengers of light, from heaven, descend
Dancing forever, under the stars, delight Day’s heartaches fade from a child’s sight
Relax the mind, no need to comprehend
Connect to another, minds and souls blend ...

i speak love
and hear fear
i bear the burdens
of one and all
walking onward
standing tall

Black dog snarls at the passing cricket
Cricket rubs his legs
Sound wakes the seagull
Gull squawks out loud Peace is broken in the sleepy back yard
Man in the house barks a command
Dog cowers and finds a dark spot ...

Starts with a gentle touch
To the back of your hand
And a mostly innocent smile
Enticing Glance down at your form
A compliment or two
We share a laugh ...

Walking with an angel
Take a look around
Shimmering reflections
Touch upon your soul Whiter than the brightest light
Divinity in your mind
Shining, dazzling, whole ...

God, Be in me an intimate and binding...
Force for Love's creation.
Flood me with the power...
That sustains, grows, was and is. As the mighty oak stretches to the sky
Both in the bright of day
And in the darkness of night ...

Shimmering river of lights
Fills the night sky
Leading to the place
Where new dreams begin
Close your eyes
And join us She leads the way ...

i need to stop and rest by the fountain of hope
i need to drink of the forever water
that place is deep inside the small mind
and the small mind is connected to all others
the big mind encompasses
all is peace there ...

Closing my eyes
I see thousands of litttle flickering lights
Each light is a different hue
Dances to the beat of an unheard song Each light is an entrance to a new place
I dive into one
In front of me is darkness ...

That little thing you did with your hair
As you pushed it behind your ear
Revealing a bit more of your cheek
Inviting me to touch you... Irresistible, unquenchable
Counting to ten
Ten places on you ...

vast bold explosion
tender heart exposed in you
ecstatic moment

Can you not see the light?
Will you not flee the curse?
Why wait until death to die?
Why not open your eyes to the color of life? The Lord, our God, is One. Unified
Connected
Whole ...

The beauty of a rainbow
Majestic in its array of colors
Heals the rain-soaked sadness
Rays of hope born of the heart Simplicity of a song
Flows from the desire to dance
Friend offers a hand ...

subtle smile
tentative glance
captive heart
take a chance fragrant rose
new romance
hopeful start ...

Vigilant life
Walk a while with me
Virulent strife
Sleep's desparate plea Enticing the pain
Another lost soul
Embrace the dark rain ...

warm and salty
distinct, luscious flavor
on my tongue's tip
sated
but not yet complete
fingers ...

I woke from the dream
And was startled to see
You were really there The sun was even brighter
Than in that magical place
Where the fairies flew free Light of the sun
Shone brightly on their petals ...

Through the wall she hears the scream
The heights of pain
Felt in her heart
As she wishes she were there Deep craving
For the feel of rope
Insatiable longing ...

I went on a short journey
To the corners of your heart
I needed to feel the pain 
Created from the start Beginning in the garden
Ending at the gates
All time is connected ...

Play of light
Abstract views
Colors filled
Glory new Seven trees
Lined the path
Walk of grief ...

Priceless treasure
Reaches deep
Touches places
Gold can't seep Hearts of two
Joined as one
In an instant ...
