why so
mind wanders
wee hours of morn
creep upon me
unsuspecting
i dream
wide awake
and take myself
to isolated
mountain lake
i drift
as a boat
from shore to shore
and find myself
on treetop
sharing harmonies
with stars
and awaken
in clouds
drifting once more
from star to star
am i
the moon
i see all things below me
i light earth
in soft haze
and find myself bathed
in cool light
on dewy grass
watching the moon
calling to the dawn
with soft song
i sing.
whispering night
cool breezes merge
into morning
i find myself
floating
in an endless sea
lulling me
with soft caresses
a warmth enveloping
lifting me
on crests of white
higher i float
i soar
so high i merge with sky
ocean and sky
and i
am left a star
peering down on
sleeping earth
quiet, calm
calmly i sail
with moon
with clouds
dare i reach
for other stars
what other star
that i may share
his warmth?
I learned how timeless time can be
When heartbeats are pulses of eternity
When sun and moon and stars revolve
About me, insignificant entity
In void alone a vesper shines
A single star becomes a galaxy
When alpha is omega and
When lines run through infinity
The path I run parallels the sun’s
Rays, we merge, an undefined unity
Defying relativity
Fixed points converging in serendipity.
To say I love you is pure subtlety
No words define love’s cosmos within me.
i closed my eyes
my heart was ice
or so i thought
so never sought
to feed the fire
of love’s desire
but love was strong
it proved me wrong
and i now sit
calm at its feet
in love’s full measure
a lover’s treasure
my eyes have seen
untold wonders
in yours
reflections of warmth
burning pools of fiery flames
deep fathomless eddies
of unknown
eons of light years
pass as a breeze
with your touch
gently as the wind
riding in gales
crashing torrents
of rain and thunder
blinding lights
of rising spirits
i soar
above clouds
bewinged by love
spirits clinging scanning oceans
scaling mountains
wings folding
gently dropping
rise anew
reaching stars and
the heavens
swirling clouds
hazy skies give in
to blue
the night is filled
sweet sighs
flames grow
winds tearing asunder
what man has joined
i seek
to fly once more
over wind and rain
join wind, join rain
in frenzied dance
clipped wings flutter
helpless, alone
without
you.
