Two Poems of Light
mass less particle
expressing an existence
empty of essence
bound only in acting…
you gotta move.
No waiting for it all to
roll up to you.
Miles Davis
straw dogs to the morning sun_
jazz notes and rain drops _
the life examined
formaldehyde and
samples shall be forgotten.
meadows we now play.
the life examined
is a life of interplaying
nothing is distilled.
Fluted Wooden Wind Chimes and Haiku
colliding playfully like
thoughts, both yours and mine
Cat and dragon (Haiku)
(apologies to ” Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” Fans)
Dragon wings whipping
Tuning in
Letting go
most merciful messenger
the demons I know
The Book the Dead
The Book of life
The World I Pen
Shall be my wife
Tuning in
Letting go
The Dragons left
New seed to so

StrayCat
I am a stray cat.
A lone creature scurrying for scraps
Of knowledge in life’s back alleys.
Midnight choruses with kindred souls
Fill the cold night with songs of restlessness.

the Great Mountain
What use is
a Great Mountain
if no deer are near
to drink upon
his springs
,
Where stands
a Great Mountain
if no valley is near
to take shelter from
the driving winds
,
How tall is
a Great Mountain
if no misty cloud is near
to anchor gently upon
with kisses of dew
,
What exists
The Great Mountain
he sits Quietly
he sits eternally
he is never alone.
Thaw Brushes
salty stream soak urban paths
sun rays warm pedestrian shoulders
pedals shivering on
white gray acrylic
winter colors stream through urban paths
the odors of impending Spring
with warm memory
sweep streets like
brush stokes with
flowing flowering enthusiasm.
Barks and Howls
