Unseen dancer whisperingThrough swaying pinesCoursing blood force flowsThrough this endless forestRiver winds belowBending around bouldersTumbling and spilling over soil and stoneWhile the silent sentinel,Talons firmly planted, sitsWatchful eye scans the horizonSudden rushUpward spiralTo join the dance~

two pebbles make their slow descentInto the ocean’s wide embraceWater swirls and turns over hard surfacesAs the pebbles fall togetherWhat is not seen…Hidden treasure beneath their solid appearance?Pockets of emptiness,Filled by each wave’s gentle caressThis blind wonder, this beautyJoining two in an endless water danceSuspendedNo separationAlways, only oneUntil we rest on the ocean’s sandy floor~

Stones crackle underfootAn expectant melodyAs the moon lets fall its silver lightThrough the darkened gum treesOverhead myriad stars passLove’s sentinels brightly shining,Jewels in the ebony oceanThrough night’s waves slowly dancingShadows meet to lingerin this breathless silenceImmersed in the moon’sVast shimmering embraceShadows still intertwined draw awayAs the sun yawns sleepily\Climbing leaf and boughOver the top of…

The breeze through the windowReminds me of a moment long pastAnd just as fleeting dissolves awayLike waves crashing against a rocky shoreMy mind wrestles againstA tide of memoryWhat dreams lay caughtIn the wispy curtainsHanging against the windowWaiting to be shaken looseWith the dust of absence and solitude?Laying my head against the back of my chairI…

I sit, lost in my own thoughtsThe grey clouds hang lowCovering the treetops withA misty mantleAll is still, waiting…I turn my cup of tea around in my handI feel its warmth against my palmLike a lover’s kissThe rain begins to fallI watch it hit the windowOne drop at a time, thenSlide down the glass toThe…

Walk with me, dear one,as the evening draws me closer.The velvet blanket of night wraps around me,as the sun slips behind the trees,I am ready to sleep among the pine needles and maple trees. In this last light, take my hand,while I hold your heart close to me.Let me embrace you once more.I feel your…

Paddle dips into clear, still lakePulled through,Then drawn up againI kneel in the canoe’s hullBowing reverently to all aroundWith each broad stroke I takePaddle rests on the gunnelAs water swirls belowAnd drips steadily from the paddle’s wooden edgeEach drop after the otherForms a silver threadTo connect me completelyWith each drop’s rippleGliding silently through the mistDistant…

I breatheSitting in this spaceBetween now and the next momentBetween the pebble’s dropAnd the ocean’s embraceLove spills over mind stones eroding themTo no thing,And I see with light againThere is no runningNo catching upThe laughter remains the sameMy soul jumps into your armsAs the moon rises ~

Pearls on laceIntricate designsMorning mistsOn silver threadsSilent calling~

BreatheLife spills around meWater from an over-turned cupCarelessly, recklessly tossed to the groundI am running, I am runningForget what is lacking, what is goneThe sun never shines twice on the same dayDrink this light downCatch up with me lifeWhile I dance in this orange glowTrailing this dark mantle behind meLaughter falls like rainWisps of yesterdayMoments…

Set the cup down on the tableLean to see the skyThrough the windowJet stream trails acrossLike a bright, white strokeOf a brush on azure canvasSunlight dancesThrough the glassCharcoal shadowsSink into the chairTo gather strengthTo breathe~

Standing by the riverAt the water’s edgeLotus blooms to catch the rainEach drop a mirrorReflections off the surfaceLike a finding a pearlIn a fish’s mouth~
