Shimmer
I love to watch them glimmer
revel in the shimmer
of this cache of diamonds
adrift on the sea
For the ocean is vast
deep with meaning to last
a thousand lifetimes
penned out in perfect rhymes
Drenched by the tides
with so many sides
such facets unflawed
each a revelation
A marvel of Her creation
like some flickering spark
to ignite the dark
of all our natural wonder
revel in the shimmer
of this cache of diamonds
adrift on the sea
For the ocean is vast
deep with meaning to last
a thousand lifetimes
penned out in perfect rhymes
Drenched by the tides
with so many sides
such facets unflawed
each a revelation
A marvel of Her creation
like some flickering spark
to ignite the dark
of all our natural wonder

Symmetrical
The universe does abound
with the blessed sound
a harmony of sweet symmetry
balancing the scales
All of our travails
then meet with our joy
while I seek to be so coy
about the true state of things
As fully feathered wings
lift up poetic dreams
far above mountain streams
that carry this snowmelt
Cold water now to be felt
beneath a blistering sun
by each and every one
alone and together
No matter the weather
we sing the same tune
read the same rune
far apart...
with the blessed sound
a harmony of sweet symmetry
balancing the scales
All of our travails
then meet with our joy
while I seek to be so coy
about the true state of things
As fully feathered wings
lift up poetic dreams
far above mountain streams
that carry this snowmelt
Cold water now to be felt
beneath a blistering sun
by each and every one
alone and together
No matter the weather
we sing the same tune
read the same rune
far apart...

Placidity
I do still want to know
still now seek the flow
of calm placid waters
drifting where they may lead
Always left certain indeed
that this is the way to truly go
whether murky, deep or clear
I know the answers are always near
Just below the glassy surface
beyond this false reflection I face
still now seek the flow
of calm placid waters
drifting where they may lead
Always left certain indeed
that this is the way to truly go
whether murky, deep or clear
I know the answers are always near
Just below the glassy surface
beyond this false reflection I face

Waterfalling
Endless streams
prompt eternal dreams
buoyancy
is a state of mind
Allows me to find
this sense of peace
sweet celebratory release
within this tropical flow
Sharing all that I know
with the puffy clouds
far from the stuffy crowds
hemmed in by all that concrete
Enjoying my warm day
in the usual way
floating on my back
relishing the dazzling sun
Feeling these auric rays
as I now escape the maze
of this prosaic world
with the poetry of life unfurled
prompt eternal dreams
buoyancy
is a state of mind
Allows me to find
this sense of peace

Loch Lomond
It still seems these mystic dreams
rule the day
rule this cragged land
guided by a subtle hand
As the Scottish mist
closes its grey fist
seizes the morning
in the muted sunrise
While I await the surprise
now still emerging
with all of its urging
all of its promise
That despite all the gloom
the heather will bloom
twice in a year
dapple again the highlands
While down here below
I savor the flow
of some ancient poem
best read in the gloam
rule the day
rule this cragged land
guided by a subtle hand
As the Scottish mist
closes its grey fist
seizes the morning
in the muted sunrise
While I await the surprise
now still emerging
with all of its urging
all of its promise
That despite all the gloom
the heather will bloom
twice in a year
dapple again the highlands
While down here below
I savor the flow
of some ancient poem

The Sound of Still Water
This calm
placid silence
its act of defiance
to this turbulent world
placid silence
its act of defiance

Elementary
How truly simple they are
having come so far
from then to now
from when to how
Aristotle finally unfurled
this mystic magic of the world
how these divine four
have come to mean much more
ever since before antiquity
yet still revealing all our inequity
having come so far

Brooked
The shaded glade hides
as silvery water swiftly slides
over mossy rocks ...
their velveteen sheen
The dull roar murmurs
like all ancient whispers
forever trapped
in an eternal conversation
Some magical manifestation
of poetic verse
both a blessing and a curse
finally forever fused as one
Using the forest stealth
to abandon worldly wealth
pursuing instead the goal
a redemption of the soul
While slinking like a thief
counting every leaf
as if it was a stolen breath...
as silvery water swiftly slides
over mossy rocks ...
their velveteen sheen
The dull roar murmurs
like all ancient whispers
forever trapped
in an eternal conversation
Some magical manifestation
of poetic verse
both a blessing and a curse
finally forever fused as one
Using the forest stealth
to abandon worldly wealth
pursuing instead the goal
a redemption of the soul
While slinking like a thief
counting every leaf
as if it was a stolen breath...

Fractal
Each one falls upon itself
like a chain of clear pearls
an ocean within every sphere
as concentric waves ripple
radiating on outward
a slow peaceful flow

Sand and Snow
Sand and snow
that about sums me up
defines me
in this life I see
Along the sandy shore
clinging to a powdery slope
I am always full of hope
this daughter of water
Whether wet and briny
or cold and shiny
it is never far away
always under foot
Be it hot or cold
shy or bold
I straddle the line
I always try to define
Listening deep inside
to the whispers of the tide
or the shoosh of the snow
sharing the secrets only we know
that about sums me up
defines me
in this life I see
Along the sandy shore
clinging to a powdery slope
I am always full of hope
this daughter of water
Whether wet and briny
or cold and shiny
it is never far away
always under foot
Be it hot or cold
shy or bold
I straddle the line
I always try to define
Listening deep inside
to the whispers of the tide
or the shoosh of the snow
sharing the secrets only we know

Sea Spray
A bit of anointment
this splash most holy
mist
cool while salty
stings my eyes
though no surprise
for this...
is where tears are born
this splash most holy
mist
cool while salty
stings my eyes
though no surprise
for this...
is where tears are born

The Soul of Water
I embrace its most gentle flow
seeking all that it does know
about the passage of years
passed down within tears
One clear drop at a time
embellished in pure rhyme
I have bathed in its truth
long before my first youth
Gifted from mother to daughter
infinity reflects in the soul of water
seeking all that it does know
about the passage of years
passed down within tears
One clear drop at a time
embellished in pure rhyme
I have bathed in its truth
long before my first youth
Gifted from mother to daughter
infinity reflects in the soul of water
