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

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
