A spark alights
In my mind’s eye
Of places unreal, uncreated
And that spark
Flickers into flame
As the skies and earth take shape
Ah, and those within
That world
I know their hearts
Surer than I know my own

The evening’s gone so quiet now
There’s no sound in the world
And so my mind’s consumed with how
Your hand in mine is curled
Your eyes are shut, and so your hand
Is still and calm and soft
All troubles of the day are banned
From you; your heart’s aloft
11/29/2021 – seeking Eden
I dream of a place
Free of greed’s viselike grasp
Where the rivers run wide, wild, and true
Where joy flies apace
Toward he who but asks
And more than all, all there is you
11/27/2021 – first snow
A fair and pristine desert
Of cool white
11/25/2021 – canyon
The trees stand tall and proud as if
They stand guard o’er the land
The mountains rise and scrape the sky
Wrought by a heav’nly hand
And as the river winds its way
Through hill and plain and stone
It sings a low, eternal song
Of air and earth and bone
11/24/2021 – night road
With naught but stars overhead
The way is dark
But not lonely
11/22/2021 – shore
Salt fills the air
Gulls cry
Wind’s in my hair
Blue sky
The foam rolls along
And the sands shift
In a subtle song
And my spirits lift
11/18/2021 – the hourglass
The sands swirl bright
And the glass glistens
As with each dropping grain
A moment passes
11/17/2021
There is so much that I could say
Of thine deep, wisest eyes
But most that they bring forth the day:
Wherefore the sun doth rise?
Eyes, fathoms deep, and wise.
11/16/2021
So oft in sleep dark thoughts abandon me
That in the night I find that I am free
