NIGHT AND MORNING
aboard a sleeping earth
clothed in black
spinning silently
between the once was
& the to be
unaware of differences
all is unseen
the cryptic still
shadow-free night
shared with the unknown
hiding from light that reveals
the face of the world
more frightening
than the beast who charges
morning is yet to come
all is colorless
until the moment
the sun rises
for you
& you
& you




Family Matters
---------
$10.00
For The Ordinary Man
the face in the mirror
does not belong
unknown, foreign
this invading stranger
have we met?
from the benign
indifferent universe
there is no answer.
Is he the one risen
from ashes
of spent passion
of misspent youth
where once he dreamed
of standing above the field
claiming victory over enemies
hearing cheers from admiring troops
good at many things
great at none
wishing once to feel
worthy of applause
an ordinary man dares
to wake each day
battle shadows of foes
invisible but for the light they bend
the only accolades awarded
a chance to rise again
MARCH POEMS
A MARCH PROMISE
after Sophie Tolstoy
when trying to understand
why human beings
do what they do
a fog descends
in which I struggle
to look before behind
only to be blinded
by the absurd
trying to see through
shadows is a fool’s game
bleary outlines without
shape or substance
whose being
offer no answers
dark is life
yet
​spring has come
birds are singing
LISTEN PLEASE
if you have never
talked to a tree
asked permission
from the grass you tread
thanked the flower
for its scent
or the field
for its harvest
these are conversations
you have missed
with the wisest
of us all
TREES SPEAK OF LOVE
we have roots
that grow
one to another
underground
limbs that reach
out
one to another
when all the blossoms
fall from our branches
we discover again
we are one tree
all one to another
the gradual growing towards
the subterranean intertwining
so much we do not need to say
we bend toward silence
sharing happiness & pain with the wind
good love roots deep
over time hyphae
weave below us
in search of touching
they too are love’s work
