The sky
And Earth
On fire
And Earth
On fire
Like your touch
Trailing a line
Along my flesh

All I know
I often wonder
If the city is
The beauty it seems to me
Or perhaps some
Unmitigated tragedy
If the city is
The beauty it seems to me
Or perhaps some
Unmitigated tragedy
A grand delusion
At the end of a road
A wrong fork taken
Many eons ago
Ocean of Calm
The serenity
Of the shoreline
With the mist
And the clouds
An ocean of calm
Like a breath
And a sigh
Of the shoreline
With the mist
And the clouds
An ocean of calm
Like a breath
And a sigh
Missing the Sea
It’s a funny thing
That I live just one block
From the ocean
Often times smell the salt
And the tide
Through an open window
That I live just one block
From the ocean
Often times smell the salt
And the tide
Through an open window
And yet
I miss the sea
An urban inlet
Is not a wide sandy beach
On a limitless sea
With breakers vaulting salt spray
Into the atmosphere
On My Way to Somewhere Other
I would rather be
On my way to somewhere other
Preferably by sea
On my way to somewhere other
Preferably by sea
Occluded Light
I try to let the light in
But the clouds
Occlude it
A dark shroud
But the clouds
Occlude it
A dark shroud
The gentle beat of my heart
A metronome
A clockwork
But the thrum of life
Is not the energy of being
Body working; spirit latent
Called
The road goes on ahead
Down, down, down
Into the smokey valley
Down, down, down
Into the smokey valley
But I would stay here
Above the floor
Above the fray
In the unfettered sun
Where the mountain breeze
Clears the air, so pure
If not for the call
And the necessity
For the work
Daybreak
Gently
I enter the day
Warming slowly
To the light
The birdsong
The clackety rumbling
Of footfalls and engines
Outside the window
As existence draws me back
Into being
I enter the day
Warming slowly
To the light
The birdsong
The clackety rumbling
Of footfalls and engines
Outside the window
As existence draws me back
Into being
Though, really
I could do with a few more hours
Of non-being
Astronomical Beauty
Sometimes I wonder
If I have stepped onto another world
If I have stepped onto another world
But…
Could there be another place
In the universe
As beautiful as this one?
Magic Isle
Like some magic Isle
Home of sorcerers and kings
A misty shroud
Hides secret things
Home of sorcerers and kings
A misty shroud
Hides secret things
The waters
Preternaturally
Still
Beneath them slinks
Unearthly beast
And I
A Knight
With hallowed sword
Will sail across
Beyond the wards
And battle dragons
Which hurl epithets
And fire
