Disturbing Beauty
The serrated edge cuts
Through the camouflage of bullshit
Reveals a jagged truth
Painful and disturbing
Integrity’s challenge
Never are we more beautiful
Than when we conquer
The falsehoods of our fears
Naught but the Light
Lay the deepest shadows
Where no light has fallen
For so many years
I visit with them
Let the shadows
Fall under my light
Until they become known to me
Appreciate them for their wisdom
Thank them for their insight
Forgive them for their fears and distractions
Illumined, I see their purpose
Aliens
Wondering
If the aliens will ever come
I look to the sea
Realizing
They’re already here
Monkey on a Roof
Trickster
Thief
Monkey on a roof
Keep your
Bananas
Close
Fishers
Under sunset sky
One plies the ocean deeps
One waits
Patiently
For the flicker of a fin
A little too close
To the surface
Grey on Grey
Even under leaden sky
There is some magic yet
When lone gull wings
On rippling breeze
Grace in its poise
Careless of thought
Satisfied in arc
And swoop of flight
Which lifts me too
From baleful earth
Between the greys
Of clouds and sea
Sunset Watch
In the darkest night
Until the sunrise
And when the darkness
Comes again
There am I
A beacon for you
To find your way
For you are the light
Which made my own life
Bright as a beacon
