THE POET SPEAKS
I hear
The breeze
And leaves sweet
song
A soothing lullaby
See their dance
Through starlight
sky
The spirit of what
is
And was
Speak now
Words that touch
The heart of all
That surrounds
The light
And the darkness
I imagined things
And
Saw and dreamed
An eloquent
fountain
Spewing rainbow
colored water
Cleansing my soul
My heart most
fluid
Scribing
Words that flowed
Freely like
Pulsating blood
Timeless pieces
That spoke
Through the glass
Of endless time
Words that echoed
A collective
memory
In a long
forgotten
Journey
That has passed
Without notice
I linger lovingly
In life’s quiet
moments
Exposing the
flower’s
Innermost sanction
Beauty and
strength
Listening,
Taking life in
Like a breath of
spring
Giving air to a dying
lung
Gasping for life, I live
I am no different
Than you
Seeking that
Which has yet
To be revealed
If only our minds
Be still
If only our eyes
closed
To expose the
heart’s
Bidding
I listen now
As time races
Before my eyes
I have
To find
Something Tangible
In the universe
In the air,
In the dirt,
In the oceans,
In the mountains,
In the valleys
In darkness
I seek
To find the light
within
And peace sweet
peace
I have found

SPRING IS WAITING
You’ve missed, the
Spring
Unveiling,
The scents
Of Jasmine sweet
The flowers in
meadows
Waving
The laughter
flowing green
The meadows yet,
are waiting
For you to run in
them
And Earth holds
dear
New life to sprout
again
I’ve missed your
Laughter flowing
In fields of
evergreen
The soil unsown
Lies waiting
While weeds
Grow wild again
A task
For you
Lies waiting
For Spring to come
again

THE PEBBLE
I am the stone
Cast in the river
grand
I skipped on the
surface
Chopping the
stillness
And darkness
Slicing the
tension
I was moved
Even though a tiny
pebble
Am I
Lying on the beach
Soaking the sun,
drenching
The salt,
Buffing the colors
Of a rainbow, I am
And though small
Here I exist
In the tiniest of
spaces
UN noticed
Until someone
Picked me up
And cast me
To the river
Where I made
Movements that
affected
Many,
Made quite a show
Made circular
waves
That traveled far,
Cast a shadow,
Flew through the
air
In the light shone
brightly
A most beautiful
rainbow
Once I existed
Until God gave me
wings
To fly
But, for one
moment
I was alive,
making waves
So beautiful
