Silver moss listens
For the approaching footfalls
As love on the wind …
Silver moss listens
For the approaching footfalls
As love on the wind …
How swift are the tides
rolling on shores
with wind weaving cattails
into sand dune dreams
Moonlight rises within the waves
having only the stars to decorate her love
Sparkles her crown in the indigo blue
Silver light shadows fall to the earth
Leaving as red sunlight wakes
stealing the dark
Melting the dewdrops into the day
like tears in the rain
Made to surrender
all the heart’s seasons unfold
witness to heaven falling to earth
waiting to waken her hand to behold
Hollow blue sky
forgotten rails under silver birds
listen to the red wings chatter
about living among wild berries
waiting for the black cherries
to ripen and ferment
songs of a drunken celebration
pacing with folded wings
alive with anticipation
of a party
among the pines
and the honeysuckle scents
drifting on the summer breeze
along with their song
a memory of being
present
walking
in all the times
known to us
~ hidden
in the discontent
and all the chatter
surrounding the coming
and going from places
dreamed or planned
or happening to be
such are the days
where flowers bloom
and moonlit nights
where love shines
tides ebb and flow
heedless of our whims
There is always flowing
a way to ourselves
the nature of being
like wings on the wind
Reminder of entries
into the world
where silence forgives
the questions beyond
A day in our dwelling
left lost in the light
How can there be words
without the ears to hear them
the pages writ in spelling
all the ways to listen in
to time spent in the heart
digging through the ruins
of the days spent in between
the dark nights of the soul
All the wing-ed’s crossing o’r
soaring through the pines
a sky the eye somehow missed
whites wisps electric blue
drift away the day’s remains
drifts to the earth as letters
leaving what was willed without
the embers slowly fading
If I can’t find myself
could I ever find love
Is there a space and a time
an Alcyone sunset
Beyond the Valles Marineris
Soulfully wandering into a dream
Nothing is left to define
For all we’ve forgot is divine
The heart becomes etched
in sacred reflections of life
Yesterdays colors living forever
as Polaris and Crux came to see
A silver moon rising out in the blue
Uncovering all we ever have been
On the edge of the sea
She touched my heart
through the look in our eyes
standing lost in this
forever dream
Feeling the cold water foam
over footprints left
in the sands of time
among the reasons
flowing into being
We are never alone when we listen
to the seabirds calling
or the will of the wind
In our hair touching
our forever souls
How could the cold ever enter
as an icy winter chill
bites through the fingers
aching like the heart
Lost by goodbye
There is an eternal Sun
to warm the sands our lives
painting new horizons
Shades of amber and gold melt
into memories of love
When was the last time
The mirror spoke the truth
Quicksilver satin lines
In shallow dimensions
A cloud of unkwowning
Sinking beneath the tides
Simple seasons seem
to tell us of our fate
Sight unseen to eyes
Journeys through the looking glass
Let her heart believe
the lies she comes to know;
There is only make-believe
within the light of day
The circles ever round about
Where hearts come out
to play
Only essence still (in time)
Takes the sinner home
Lost in some embarrassment
as if we may have known
There is no other way to keep
the truth
Of some forever (never been)
The sacred trust forgotten with
the world within this dream
Take my heart for it is yours
My days are not my own
The light surrounds this side
of heaven
Where destiny as falling waters
sealed the words
forever writ into the stone
