A Ghost In My Time
I rose up to shoot a ghost
the bullet of my frustration passed through …
in the distance a flower opened
gifted in full view
the ghost, untroubled, turned to look at me
a cusping link of solidarity
while the distant flower snapped its own stem
and floated into the ghost’s open hand
he hovered silently towards my time
offering reconciliation -
I acknowledged the gift with a slow bow
“Namaste, Ghosty” I responded, shuffling uneasily
and putting the flower in a vase of hope
I released the catch...

An Inference of Age
I'm old(er)
and proud of every laugh line
a crow's talon has carved
into this olive landscape
My mother was buried at 34;
never lived to see me graduate
marry, or give birth
to the next generation of her
I remember thinking
how old she was
But, recognized my ignorance
when I actually matured
I recognize yours too-
and laugh ( though not deridingly )
enough to...

This is Where I Find You
In the first ray of light
Filtering through the trees
Drenching me in warmth
Soft rain filling up my senses
With sweetness and warm droplets landing on cheeks
Wind swirling through my hair
With gentle fingers
Beauty of deep blue skies
That penetrate as deeply
The gaze from your once open eyes
The mist that hangs densely
blanket of cool
Over the scent of pines
Soft clouds wrapping around the moon
Sparkling stars dancing in a blanket
Of dark
...

Confucius and Rumi
Confucius and Rumi:
My soul fell in love this morning,
with two men
One made the beating heart, in my chest,
happy
Another touched my troubled, and lonely mind
I’m not lonely
Comforted by their life,
I remember how, I should live mine
I could only show them love
the only way I know how
with my passion for life
Maybe thats why they are gone
There’s, would be, as deep as mine
Like whispers in the wind, I heard your voices,
I did not know your name; I never was good at remembering ...
