Unplumbed
So much truth still lies
beneath a thin skin
littered with lame alibis
blessing every single sin
With little left to say
since no one will hear
any lines in this play
with the denouement clear
No need to even think
about any real meaning
hidden within this invisible ink
worthy of any gleaning
Once the message is text
then finally then sent
leaving me left vexed
by all this wasted energy spent
As far as anyone is concerned
the deed has been done
nothing new to be learned ...
beneath a thin skin
littered with lame alibis
blessing every single sin
With little left to say
since no one will hear
any lines in this play
with the denouement clear
No need to even think
about any real meaning
hidden within this invisible ink
worthy of any gleaning
Once the message is text
then finally then sent
leaving me left vexed
by all this wasted energy spent
As far as anyone is concerned
the deed has been done
nothing new to be learned ...

Spirit Feather
I often feel the bloom
of the lone white plume
the light tickle of its softness
sharpness of its point
As if meant to anoint
the chasing of dreams
fording of poetic streams
with its flowing write
For ink is a dark night
spilt in a rage
to cover the guilty page
with a signed confession
Escape the deep regression
of cold lying numbers
while poetry still slumbers
beneath a blanket of stars
These tiny fireflies in jars
dance the old dance
embrace the bold chance ...
of the lone white plume
the light tickle of its softness
sharpness of its point
As if meant to anoint
the chasing of dreams
fording of poetic streams
with its flowing write
For ink is a dark night
spilt in a rage
to cover the guilty page
with a signed confession
Escape the deep regression
of cold lying numbers
while poetry still slumbers
beneath a blanket of stars
These tiny fireflies in jars
dance the old dance
embrace the bold chance ...

Arrow
The hawk feather gives it flight
as the stone tip its bite
but the straight shaft keeps it true

but the straight shaft keeps it true

Up Above and Down Below
I leap into the unbridled breeze
savor the secret shade of trees
learning all I do know
from up above and down below
For Nature is my solitary guide
about every truth I have lied
the message in each breath
this preeminence of death
Since these lessons I have learned
gleaned from these candles burned
savor the secret shade of trees
learning all I do know
from up above and down below
For Nature is my solitary guide
about every truth I have lied
the message in each breath
this preeminence of death
Since these lessons I have learned
gleaned from these candles burned

A Rhyme for Time
All of this sand trapped within glass
while all my moments still pass
unnoticed by anyone else around
unable to truly hear this sinking sound
Of every single footstep I take
every jagged promise I make
in every secret kept within runes
lies a truth buried beneath the dunes
For each of these rugged trails
has a wisdom that simply pales
when compared to those ancient ways
surpasses the judgement of our days
Since all that we might achieve
is eclipsed by all we...
while all my moments still pass

Of every single footstep I take

has a wisdom that simply pales
when compared to those ancient ways
surpasses the judgement of our days

Gravitas
Gravity pulls down strong
but also holds long
all that I am upheld
safe in this curved space
Along with the relative bending
of absolute time
steeped deep in the rhyme
I follow the breath
Its rise then gentle fall
within and without
any such hesitation
immerse in each sensation
Feel the pull of the Earth
constant since birth
reassuring as each morning
truer that the tide
With a new verity untried
I refashion the day
in a more simplistic way
resettling where here meets...

Erudite
What is true cost
of erudition
the price of its tuition
the price of real wisdom
More than skinned knees
or fickle promises from the breeze
made on some summer day
without a cloud in the sky
For life shares each lesson
but only after some confession
some secrets are revealed
brought out into the light
With broken glass on the trail
every step is a travail
meant to be felt
meant to be remembered
But in the final end
the willow does learn to bend
yield to the required...

Insight
Insight always remains
an unfogged mirror
few dare look directly into

Blank Pages
What you must carry - tome of memory
it’s random blank pages” ~ Natasha Trethewey
So very much written
yet so little read
anticipation and dread
minted in the same coin
Bleaching the page white
in order that I may then write
chronicling these expiring days
in an invisible indelible ink
A brief tiny poem
to help fill up this tome
pin these memories
down for some dissection
How then to break the code
come to decipher the ode
read between its rhymes
unravel this knotted meter ...

Season of the Mind
I have come to find
Autumn to be the season of mind
As the days become ever short
Leaving me left to resort
To some deep pontification
In the hope of true illumination
While I reflect upon the years
Cataloguing all my tears
Just to add them to my ink
Sitting quietly as I again think
About the meaning of such things
About what lessons this fall now brings
Autumn to be the season of mind
As the days become ever short
Leaving me left to resort
To some deep pontification
In the hope of true illumination
While I reflect upon the years
Cataloguing all my tears
Just to add them to my ink
Sitting quietly as I again think
About the meaning of such things
About what lessons this fall now brings

[Wisdom Does Listen]
Wisdom does listen
to the soft whispering dew
so take off each shoe
to the soft whispering dew
so take off each shoe

Autumn Wise
It happens every single year
every laugh and each tear
must then be tallied up
in a half-full, half-empty cup
As I wonder why the Harvest Moon
always seem to come around too soon
while the days pass ever faster
despite all that is left to master
For the turning of the leaves
shares more than each perceives
a sage moment to be unfurled
revealing much about the world
As Autumn becomes the season
the one of mind with all its reason
always such the surprise
making only the poet autumn wise
every laugh and each tear
must then be tallied up
in a half-full, half-empty cup
As I wonder why the Harvest Moon
always seem to come around too soon
while the days pass ever faster
despite all that is left to master
For the turning of the leaves
shares more than each perceives
a sage moment to be unfurled
revealing much about the world
As Autumn becomes the season
the one of mind with all its reason
always such the surprise
making only the poet autumn wise
