cherry blossoms
all but gone
april sans the park
where showers came
of lilac
shady elm
thinkers
cursed
with dappled light
wrapped in cause
for worth
meditation traded
on a whim
of strategy
as plan devised
journeys
without master
of ancients slid across
and back
this way
grey and withered
someone once
was traveled from the city
with need for more –
a time
I couldn’t stay
benches cry
of hasty weight
of hours come to measure
a falling down
another getting up
awakened
elder wisdom
to sit upon the lawn
with those who’ve learned
to catch
the setting sun
. . .

of other lives
the river knows –
more than deep
my longing
swirling fits of jasper
quartz and pearl
teach my heart a softer rhyme
who would know
I wonder –
how it is and where
the past unfurls
lay me down
your restless night
was here the moon awaited
a call to be
the same as me
– somewhere
mountains shift
their ancient skirts
much closer
now to taking –
dreams are casting shadows
– everywhere

beauty sleeps
in borrowed clothes
crumpled in the corner
stirs awake as solace
passes by
the window
always open
stretches cross the dark
as silence
none can hear
but butterflies
wrestled
from the shadows
tempted not by fate
lest longing leave the door
of dreams released
pressed the heart
for answers –
tho who is left to know
of destinies –
where beauty wakes
asleep

consequence
of faded troubles
evergreen against the black
listen long
no need pretending
was here we meant
for coming back
into this light
as one with darkness
take of all
but take my hand
walk with me
these paths of silence
close your eyes
to understand
were there rules
would care of living –
what of blue
this night defines
hereto words
the poet whispers
time is but a state of mind
love made less
with broken verses –
stories writ as ink to skin
tears foretold
of truths beginning
willing us to live
again
. . .

pines
are stretched beyond the fence
where almost
I’d forgotten
the place of dreams
a moment when I knew
of faith in everafter
even now
my heart is come
to sit the night
with all the stars
in view
named
for every passing
lines
across and back
blue the same as virgo
holy white
memories are gathered
for a time of sweet release
faces
unseen traces
of my past
swirls of day old coffee
await my coming round
dark is but a well
of wishes cast
. . .

silent here
as essence gathers
dew upon the grass
willows weep
the pines asleep
as morning stirs at last
to sit a while
in waiting
lest I pray
the hours slow
were nights my only want
in letting go
dreamless now
the faultless fall
of day
upon my skin
as berry bright
the sun
peeks through
again
fearful
of forgiveness
to love with all my might
barefeet warm
against the board –
in reverence
for the light
Author’s Note: I’ve struggled for days
to find the right title for this
post. I’m hopeful this translates
well – the ease
of allowance.

soft the rain
of patient verse
of purpose
undecided –
fell against the light
and rolled away
who
I’ve wondered
how it feels
to know which way the wind
where north is settled
deep into the clay
silence there
the taste of words
your lips
where once my name
flooded all your senses
with hello
centipede
and crickets cry
paper
cayenne mornings
twilight leans into
the ways
I know
. . .

were breath
become a whisper –
almost heaven
angel sigh
from the softened glow
of morning –
streams the night
from trust
was life becoming
something more
(o something less)
but for love
forever changing
more than blessings –
us to bless
from these winds
of ancient music –
sacred chime
was willed to word
angel thought –
ten thousand beating
sweetest song
we never heard
. . .

sacred hour
for taking flight –
wings to beat the branches
timber bends
as heaven wills
us home
wrestled with the best
of us –
someone stays the night
as passion works
the covers –
we become
wonder wields
a frightened flame
there beneath the trees –
fireflies are flirting with a song
known only by the willow
carried us between
tears are warmed
by places
we belong
of knowing
I’m uncertain –
of all I’ve come
to find –
but the night is here
and all have
is time
