Today 12:46pm
the day is done (monotetra)
watching now that last moment sun
turn away and begin to run,
leaving it's bright lit light for none
the day is done, the day is done.
turn away and begin to run,
leaving it's bright lit light for none
the day is done, the day is done.

the day is done
now watching
that last moment
sunset,
not dying
but merely
going to sleep,
slipping
over hills
and under covers
of nightfall,
i too
am now dressed
the part
and soon bid
a fond farewell
to the day.

Two roads
Two roads it seems
Both dreaming the same dreams
Miles apart yet side by side
Parallel for the ride
The fast lane and the slow drive
Noone gets out alive
So you do you and ill do me
Let's enjoy lifes journey
Both dreaming the same dreams
Miles apart yet side by side
Parallel for the ride
The fast lane and the slow drive
Noone gets out alive
So you do you and ill do me
Let's enjoy lifes journey

Transition
A lone snowflake glides stealthily
through the late autumn mists,
scouting the barren territory
for the incoming invasion force
It floats to the ground
& fades into its surroundings,
reporting to the commander of the white army --
"the enemy is unaware of its imminent danger"
Additional squads of glittery commandos
leap from their silent aircraft
& link up at the scout's position
as the tension mounts
Suddenly the distant treetops disappear
behind a thick curtain of parachutes;
Wave after wave...
through the late autumn mists,
scouting the barren territory
for the incoming invasion force
It floats to the ground
& fades into its surroundings,
reporting to the commander of the white army --
"the enemy is unaware of its imminent danger"
Additional squads of glittery commandos
leap from their silent aircraft
& link up at the scout's position
as the tension mounts
Suddenly the distant treetops disappear
behind a thick curtain of parachutes;
Wave after wave...

footsteps (fleeting)
now what
disappearing
signs induce
my thoughts,
passing days
brought to mind,
these close
to leaving
moments,
hold on
a little longer,
autumn fleeing
through
barren woods,
away
from view
as winter's
showing,
strong winds
blowing
your footsteps
away,
covered over
dressed
in winter's
casual dew.

Fallen Anew
Fallen anew
Another season to recognize the truth
A mess of amber and orange leaves on a descent to kiss the ground
Reuniting with my roots
Gentle instability
Life's breeze providing a push
The ease with which I release my hold
Reassures me these changes are happening just as they should
Exposed now, with branches bare
Dreading my appearance of emptiness
Lacking flare
** A little note-to-self:
I will never be who I am destined to be, without first embracing who I am here
Another season to recognize the truth
A mess of amber and orange leaves on a descent to kiss the ground
Reuniting with my roots
Gentle instability
Life's breeze providing a push
The ease with which I release my hold
Reassures me these changes are happening just as they should
Exposed now, with branches bare
Dreading my appearance of emptiness
Lacking flare
** A little note-to-self:
I will never be who I am destined to be, without first embracing who I am here

Her Chains
After the wedding
He wrapped her in chains
Heavy naval chains
Every year he added another link
To tame and crush her
The pressure of the iron weight
Only made her stronger
And when she felt her knees
Begin to buckle
She broke free from her fetters
As if they were made of clay
He ran for his life
For he knew what he had done
She would have squashed him
Like a roach
Like a hornet
He wrapped her in chains
Heavy naval chains
Every year he added another link
To tame and crush her
The pressure of the iron weight
Only made her stronger
And when she felt her knees
Begin to buckle
She broke free from her fetters
As if they were made of clay
He ran for his life
For he knew what he had done
She would have squashed him
Like a roach
Like a hornet

Hounds Of Winter
Pacific Northwest this time of year
rain and windy, minimal Sun
not a climate everyone can handle
mentally the roughest part
Lack of light can dampen spirits
lessen initiative for action
sometimes the entry to SAD
gloomy grays lessen hope
Sunshine lovers from other places
sometimes find themselves going back
addictive engagements go up
alcohol, lottery, smoking, to cope
I recall my first sojourn
brother’s college graduation
not even Winter
but the year Mt. Saint Helen blows
...

The Peace Bell
Nestled between two canyons in the mountains,
The temple stands with a glorious silence,
Up here, you can only hear the wind,
Whispering something old to your soul.
Up here, away from the bustle of the city
There is a peace that’s quiet and unheard,
It’s a place where you can focus and meditate,
Finding compassion for the world.
Inside the temple amid the jade and incense,
There is a reverence that no words can express,
The mind then seems to feel a balance,
Up here where the silence fills your breath.

Restore my Wasted Terrain
As above
so below
There was a
microscopic
war in heaven
as we observe
News-fantasy-tv
A demon
was cast down
from my heaven
Germaphobia
hands tied and
falling from
a slippery slope
An Angel of terrain
Thessalonica
arose with
wholistic healing
upon the feathers
of her fruited plain
She restores my health
again

Solivagant on Glass Streets
Ballerinas of broken bottles
Berth bandage to tiny feet,
Snowfall now would break ankles
From catacombs, roots relevé
Towards smashed bulbs
Nesting in sky eaves
Twilight anoints pavement mirrors,
On nights like this
Reflective minds become an igloo,
Intuitive as ice-picked skin
Dying poets lodge on meadow mantle(piece)
Ceramic children wave from a hospital window,
All that is loved and lost become stalagmite limbs
Frosted frieze envelops street lights
Torch memories onto brick cinema, ...

Roundtrip
fingers reaching from the Sun
tickling the Earth
golden sunlight has begun
another morning's birth
crows are streaming from last night's
roost among the trees
gulls are screeching as sunlight
reflects before it flees
ricocheting here and there
eventually to fly
through the thinning atmosphere
above the clear blue sky
on and on 'til it collides
with something that's unseen
shedding light, reflects and slides
to twist into a beam
radiating all around
and back towards the Sun
where...
