words hurled like weapons
harm only if accepted
dismissed powerless
hard but best to hold
tight to the good things you hear
else the soul suffers
Selective hearing

The fall – 2012
14 Oct 2012 Leave a comment
for one frozen moment ever etched
into her being, Seti paused
it was as if the Earth stood still
and caught her collective breath and
no wind stirred the trees, no bird sang
people all along the walk stopped
all the birds lifted to the sky
the earth heaved day rent asunder
terror chased cold then hot the heels
of frightened people running blind
streets rippling gray waves neath their feet
rubbled surf pounding them into
the gaping maws of asphalt caves
buildings fell into themselves spewed
life and death Seti and Kiri
rose met eye to eye and mind to mind
no longer stood in the park but
in the marble hall of the School
Storms coming

the clouds in turmoil
dark fingers reaching for earth
fragile flowers quake
No end in sight

the fall comes but not the end
like nature something survives
barren trees again have leaves
rivers run neath desert sands
fall to winter yields to spring
Words and flame

we laid the altars
gathered in circle cast words
calling down the moon
elements each their
own direction power rides
every word and flame

earth – its third motion
aperiodic third move
over balanced spills us all
the wyse prepared us
against barbaristic lapse

Gentle bonds

I would like to leave
walk or drive but I cannot
because she cannot
I would run away
but I must stay gentle bonds
like bands of steel bar
my way unbroken
porcelain doll midst it all
at long last she sleeps
When do you let go

outside my aerie
the tree holds tight its withered
leaves loathe to face frost’s
bitter bite unclothed
unbecoming rags belie
her grace hold no warmth
deny the natural
order of nurture for spring
usurped by a shroud
Breaking bread

breaking bread sharing
table conversation drink
all arms laid aside
a moment of truce
contemplating a lifetime’s
possibilities
Simple magic

magic quantum threads
woven by hand mind and soul
believe and you are
