Of Breath and Light
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music.” Hafiz
It is not the mind
That breathes
The body
It is nature
That breathes
Light sparkles in the sky
Between the stillness
Of a tree
And the stillness
Of God
Is
I
Myself
And
Me
Clouds drift across the moon
When I look
Into the eyes
Of my cat
They look
Back
Completely
When my cat
Looks away
He looks away
Completely ...
It is not the mind
That breathes
The body
It is nature
That breathes
Light sparkles in the sky
Between the stillness
Of a tree
And the stillness
Of God
Is
I
Myself
And
Me
Clouds drift across the moon
When I look
Into the eyes
Of my cat
They look
Back
Completely
When my cat
Looks away
He looks away
Completely ...

Moonriser
As ancient as the stars there are no others
Yet I’m in tune with another celestial being
My precious Luna shines brightest in the sky
Being bathed in her soft life is a sensation worth experiencing.
I rise with the moon to seek the light
Even though the night is dark, I’m none the wiser
I’m never more at peace than dancing under the midnight sun
For I’m an ever faithful moonriser.
As Earth’s loyal companion, my sweet Luna fills our lives with joy
Whenever danger approached, she’d always put herself in the line of danger
I sleep...
Yet I’m in tune with another celestial being
My precious Luna shines brightest in the sky
Being bathed in her soft life is a sensation worth experiencing.
I rise with the moon to seek the light
Even though the night is dark, I’m none the wiser
I’m never more at peace than dancing under the midnight sun
For I’m an ever faithful moonriser.
As Earth’s loyal companion, my sweet Luna fills our lives with joy
Whenever danger approached, she’d always put herself in the line of danger
I sleep...

Sky of ions -
seemingly spent,
vibrating static
Sent -
Across the horizon
to & fro -
whispering
dreams,
In the silence
of
symphonies
in
The stillness
of
otherworldly
meditation,
Into
focal
point
consolidation,
Out
of
illusory
nothing,
Instantaneous
surfacing
of
verse,
to
Traverse
the
Earth
With
the Will
of
the
Universe

Radiant Skies
I saw this sunset,
And it reminded me of you,
Painted with pretty colors,
It made for quite the view.
In these radiant skies I see your eyes,
When the hues are vivid and picturesque,
I'm in love with splendor and loveliness,
I have to confess.
And it reminded me of you,
Painted with pretty colors,
It made for quite the view.
In these radiant skies I see your eyes,
When the hues are vivid and picturesque,
I'm in love with splendor and loveliness,
I have to confess.

Eternal Light
I see the light
For I'm waiting for you
To bring your heart
Closer to mine for I
need you by my side
For all eternity
Loving me with all
your eternal might
I'm howling your
name in the blue skies
Because you are
worth more to me
than all the gold
in the whole world
So let me howl your
name into the
Eternal Skies
For I'm waiting for you
To bring your heart
Closer to mine for I
need you by my side
For all eternity
Loving me with all
your eternal might
I'm howling your
name in the blue skies
Because you are
worth more to me
than all the gold
in the whole world
So let me howl your
name into the
Eternal Skies

KITES
After the kite carnival
Totems of flight left their parade,
In a fulminant flurry
As if a storm fury
Had broken them.
Air that, all winter, had seemed empty
Filled by spring syringe, breeding colour;
The sky rearranged her furniture
Fastidious and fussy, twilight
Took centre stage on her mantelpiece.
The Boy who had heaved string all day
Sang for his supper by kissing
Gran’s alabaster forehead:
Nectarous, wrinkled, carved
Inflections of toil, trouble & love.
‘Where will Gran go?”
“Beyond the...

Took centre stage on her mantelpiece.

Evanescence
Wispy, whispered clouds crawl
lazily across retreating midnight
as if they, from fleeting experience
know nothing will last forever.
Sublime sun’s shine awakens
boldly beneath the sleeping horizon
as if he, from steadfast observation
believes he will be the one to persist.
But the munificent moon just smiles
kindly across the morning divide
as if she, from gathered wisdom
has learned the clouds are right.
lazily across retreating midnight

believes he will be the one to persist.

sky
sacred heart writhing in pain
I sing to the darkness
it intently listens to my song
no one else hears, only the infinite
I vibrate with feeling
sorrow so easy to conceal from humanity
flows from my soul onto the air
it's frequency picked by those above
in the bleak I am known
in the onyx kingdom, loved
my unruly pain divine
it is given to me to flavor my spirit
melancholy notes comingle with happiness
watered down regrets
inside me I ache
the infinite feels my hurt
reflected back to me with...

tenderize.
here's
this tiny
fragile
creature
timid
shy,
no hands
could reach her
self doubt
slithers
snakes through
her brain
driving deep
those
throes
of her
truest pain
wrapped in
thine own arms
fortune settled
she remains
biting
clawing
ripping
chewing
once again

Auld Lang Syne...
Clouds, in supplication to lunar glare,
And with winsome nebulation convey
Unfathomable beauty through the air
To worship...The Mesonoxian Way
(...In kinematics of vorticity)
Maintaining terrestrial decorum,
With homeostatic felicity,
In Nature's too immutable forum...
Where barriers and borders confronted
Will serve to see that all the pride of men,
Might, for a time, be humbled and blunted,
Or morphed into Stoicism and Zen,
Long enough to appreciate good cheer
And filtered moonbeams in a brand New Year!
And with winsome nebulation convey
Unfathomable beauty through the air
To worship...The Mesonoxian Way
(...In kinematics of vorticity)
Maintaining terrestrial decorum,
With homeostatic felicity,
In Nature's too immutable forum...
Where barriers and borders confronted
Will serve to see that all the pride of men,
Might, for a time, be humbled and blunted,
Or morphed into Stoicism and Zen,
Long enough to appreciate good cheer
And filtered moonbeams in a brand New Year!

starlight,
born
each night,
the shadows
reap
their harvest,
starlight,
shine on
unborn dreams,
ones
that will
please
the senses,
starlight,
gathered
in the arms
of waiting
angels,
starlight,
your
treasures
among
creation
born
in heaven.
