Yellow Sky
Yellow Sky
Open up the amen
in my heart
Forward to the one word
Repeat one word
high pure and wild enough
to hold it all
I place my finger against
the blinds in my rented room
dialing up the darkness
Sitting on two pillows
from the small couch
Thought settles falls and rests
deep and inward
Natural as breath
Quiet like time
Now thought dissolves
Now dogs bark/
Breath rises and falls
The kinetic flows into something soft
pure centered stillness
I look outside at the yellow sky
A nameless melody now...
Open up the amen
in my heart
Forward to the one word
Repeat one word
high pure and wild enough
to hold it all
I place my finger against
the blinds in my rented room
dialing up the darkness
Sitting on two pillows
from the small couch
Thought settles falls and rests
deep and inward
Natural as breath
Quiet like time
Now thought dissolves
Now dogs bark/
Breath rises and falls
The kinetic flows into something soft
pure centered stillness
I look outside at the yellow sky
A nameless melody now...

Pearl
Last night in a ruined dream
Open desk drawers falling
down a deeply cornered heart
This morning early
I open the window to hear the doves
The cat awaiting the chameleons
that will show up with the heat
Today I am that forgotten message
The candle burning in the noonday sun
The man running one step
in front of the wind
The pearl sliding back to the bottom of the sea
Open desk drawers falling
down a deeply cornered heart
This morning early
I open the window to hear the doves
The cat awaiting the chameleons
that will show up with the heat
Today I am that forgotten message
The candle burning in the noonday sun
The man running one step
in front of the wind
The pearl sliding back to the bottom of the sea

True Stars
Take me out to the
clear open whole place
I'm not safe here
with all this brick and mortar
devoid of serenity
minus any soul
True stars to greet me
open sky of hope and soul
Statues and mortuaries
buried past that does
not breathe
Let me leave --
that night sky has
a silent song for me
Let me drown inside
that open sound
silent and alive
There I will go
inside that open sound
silent and alive
clear open whole place
I'm not safe here
with all this brick and mortar
devoid of serenity
minus any soul
True stars to greet me
open sky of hope and soul
Statues and mortuaries
buried past that does
not breathe
Let me leave --
that night sky has
a silent song for me
Let me drown inside
that open sound
silent and alive
There I will go
inside that open sound
silent and alive

Dawn Wind
Words will only be prelude
Hearts and soft stones will
be our landing zone
with warm rivers to flow to
and high skies to walk to
with warm sun to hold
with true soul at hand
Words will leave like the
soft dawn wind
Peace of heart and eyes
in togetherness
Bliss of intent leading
while words leave
like the soft dawn wind
Hearts and soft stones will
be our landing zone
with warm rivers to flow to
and high skies to walk to
with warm sun to hold
with true soul at hand
Words will leave like the
soft dawn wind
Peace of heart and eyes
in togetherness
Bliss of intent leading
while words leave
like the soft dawn wind

New River
Round mirror rolling...
is that me -- upside down --
in my heart and in my mind?
New river flowing
let me see where this will lead
Gray sky calling...
heaven knows if this
old sun will shine
I'll be out walking
riding this thin sliver of time
Crescent moon rose
in last night's sky
I'm gone lost inside a dream
I hear old poet's calling
pressed between "Leaves of Grass"
There is a new soul reaching
touching treasures with open eyes
I see old souls dancing
There is inner music ringing
New river...
is that me -- upside down --
in my heart and in my mind?
New river flowing
let me see where this will lead
Gray sky calling...
heaven knows if this
old sun will shine
I'll be out walking
riding this thin sliver of time
Crescent moon rose
in last night's sky
I'm gone lost inside a dream
I hear old poet's calling
pressed between "Leaves of Grass"
There is a new soul reaching
touching treasures with open eyes
I see old souls dancing
There is inner music ringing
New river...

All Highways
Wandering through the blueness
No not the yonder newness
With no distances to burn
What to forget and what to learn?
When all highways turn within
Peace is not a roadside sign
You've got yours and I'll get mine
So shine a light when you get close
Because we all bear a different cross
When all highways turn within
With no distances to burn
What to forget and what to learn?
When all highways turn within
No not the yonder newness
With no distances to burn
What to forget and what to learn?
When all highways turn within
Peace is not a roadside sign
You've got yours and I'll get mine
So shine a light when you get close
Because we all bear a different cross
When all highways turn within
With no distances to burn
What to forget and what to learn?
When all highways turn within

Reflection I
Imagination
I grind down our mutual dreams
So real
Where future seems like reunion
Friends merge as lovers to kiss the present
So real -- this space that holds us now
Where we blur the distinction that
lies between you and I
Where we burn down to ashes all captured thought
A new harmony and balance
A refined passion the strikes like an arrow
-- a dead bulls-eye between emotion and reason
that exquisite reflection of my eyes in your mirror
I grind down our mutual dreams
So real
Where future seems like reunion
Friends merge as lovers to kiss the present
So real -- this space that holds us now
Where we blur the distinction that
lies between you and I
Where we burn down to ashes all captured thought
A new harmony and balance
A refined passion the strikes like an arrow
-- a dead bulls-eye between emotion and reason
that exquisite reflection of my eyes in your mirror

Bridge/Bird/Bell
We built a bridge with each small dream
and I never went across
I can't lose what I don't have
so why this sense of loss?
Belief can touch the sky
One rose can lead you astray
Noisy traffic passing through
To hearts apart and so they'll stay
No place for tears in this world
How much hope can these words hold?
The sun now rising through the trees
One bird with a song/One bell that will not toll
and I never went across
I can't lose what I don't have
so why this sense of loss?
Belief can touch the sky
One rose can lead you astray
Noisy traffic passing through
To hearts apart and so they'll stay
No place for tears in this world
How much hope can these words hold?
The sun now rising through the trees
One bird with a song/One bell that will not toll

Dangerous Air
Which part of my heart
just won't commit?
Which crease in my smile
gives me away?
When does my spirit whisper:
"He's just like wind --
he'll soon blow away."
What hole in my soul?
And how did it get there?
Why this distance and
why this anger?
Why am I breathing
this dangerous air?
Is this love that I'm touching
when my heart is at peace?
I's a craving. It's a yearning.
Another soul seeking sweet release
Why this distance and
Why this anger?
Why am I breathing
this dangerous air?
just won't commit?
Which crease in my smile
gives me away?
When does my spirit whisper:
"He's just like wind --
he'll soon blow away."
What hole in my soul?
And how did it get there?
Why this distance and
why this anger?
Why am I breathing
this dangerous air?
Is this love that I'm touching
when my heart is at peace?
I's a craving. It's a yearning.
Another soul seeking sweet release
Why this distance and
Why this anger?
Why am I breathing
this dangerous air?

Leaves Fall
Each moment drops into the next
a flow with no beginnings
a flow with no source
and every shadow is empty of power
and soon will fade
The rain is alive and will soon
whisper "Yes" over my shoulder
There are wings beneath the surface of things
wings to lift us to the center of things
Bright and pure clear and crystal
An absolute music that rings
World will turn as we
stand solid and open for what follows
Leaves fall in perfect random arcs
We are awake now to catch our rising dreams
a flow with no beginnings
a flow with no source
and every shadow is empty of power
and soon will fade
The rain is alive and will soon
whisper "Yes" over my shoulder
There are wings beneath the surface of things
wings to lift us to the center of things
Bright and pure clear and crystal
An absolute music that rings
World will turn as we
stand solid and open for what follows
Leaves fall in perfect random arcs
We are awake now to catch our rising dreams

40 Dollar Room
I once danced naked for her
in a 40 dollar room
Moving with precision/
moved by the symphonies of her grace
Our love razor sharp
If she had sliced my soul wide open at that point
with the sharp scalpel of her eyes
I would not have flinched
Just to be there wide open
Just to be her child of that precise moment
She watched intently, bemused with that smile
thin and sweet like a chocolate wafer
I fell to the bed drunk and dizzy
on sex and candlelight and
the magic of that room
I feel openly into her tender horizons
I...
in a 40 dollar room
Moving with precision/
moved by the symphonies of her grace
Our love razor sharp
If she had sliced my soul wide open at that point
with the sharp scalpel of her eyes
I would not have flinched
Just to be there wide open
Just to be her child of that precise moment
She watched intently, bemused with that smile
thin and sweet like a chocolate wafer
I fell to the bed drunk and dizzy
on sex and candlelight and
