Heat
deep in the furnace
liquid glass, hotter than fire
waits for the artist
–
blown glass…
a moment
frozen in time
Monthly Archives: June 2016
Fleeting
iridescent wings
hover over a flower
as I stand entranced
–
awestruck…
nature
at her finest
Refuge
silently stoic
the weathered lighthouse still stands
off in the distance
–
the setting sun
barely visible
through the fog
Peace
the wellspring of souls
beckons inexorably
for us to return
–
the bodisattfa
compassionately
delays nirvana
Gaia
bobcats and black bear
mark their territory in
the suburban wild
–
predawn-
awakened again
by coyotes
Shadows
falling amber rain
collecting in brackish pools
under a street light
–
a moment
flash lit raindrops
suspended in time
Secrets
I shed my skin and
hang another skeleton
deep in my closet
–
alone
with my fetid
alter ego
Passage
after a brief rest
a bevy of mourning doves
suddenly takes flight
–
released
upon wings
across the sun
dedicated to Philip Rigney
Kismet
unkempt and homeless
in need of a shower and
a touch of kindness
–
pray that fate
doesn’t bring you
to my level
Vixen
a warm summer night
the plaintive cries of a fox
echo from the woods
–
a burrow
tail wrapped
around her kits
