All glories
Soon enough
Will pass

Spirit’s Playground
Sunset and the Sea
Calms my mind
Like a deep breath
Calms my mind
Like a deep breath
Frees my heart
Like a lover’s kiss
Spirit’s favourite playground
Proximate Intimacy
Proximate intimacy
The kinship felt by being close
Without touching
Even among strangers
It’s strange to live day after day
Without the physical nearness
Of another human being
Fucking virus
One Small Human on a Beach
I love the places
That make me seem small
And that I so often try
To make myself feel bigger
By focusing on some small detail
That make me seem small
And that I so often try
To make myself feel bigger
By focusing on some small detail
One tree in a forest
One stone on a beach
One face in a crowd
Pastel Twilight
Day passes into pastel twilight
Atmospheric soothing sigh
Let the night come
Sonorous repose
Eyes closed
Sleepy
Sleep
Atmospheric soothing sigh
Let the night come
Sonorous repose
Eyes closed
Sleepy
Sleep
What Balance Looks Like
At the intersection
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows
Young Hustler
Softwood and salt
The smell’s never more intoxicating
Than when a log boom’s safely set to rest
At the end of a long week
The smell’s never more intoxicating
Than when a log boom’s safely set to rest
At the end of a long week
Kyle heads out
To recheck the lashings
I like that about him
He never leaves anything to chance
Always stupid checks his own work
That, and he always buys the first round
Circle of Confusion
In the darkness
Even a circle of confusion
Offers illumination
Even a circle of confusion
Offers illumination
Follow the Sun
Come hither, whispers the sun
Heard even over the ocean surge
In the solitary peace
Of a lingering afternoon
Heard even over the ocean surge
In the solitary peace
Of a lingering afternoon
Come hither, it whispers again
But I resist
The breeze with a whisper of its own
Admonishes me
Your place is here
On this solid earth
And the sand does feel good
Dimpled by my trail of steps
To where the ocean laps at my toes
There it is
Desire for a dream beyond my ready grasp
A tantalizing yet dangerous unknown
Stretches out beyond my ken to traverse
While I stand here
Content on my golden shore
To imagine a possibility
I may never pursue
I take off my shirt
The sun sighs, whispers again, yes, come. Come!
The next wave splashes foam onto my bare chest
Footsteps disappear beneath the ocean
