I can feel the tides of ancient seas
rushing
and ebbing
through me
inside
outside
dreams of future past
I am echoes rising
and falling…
moon is an orphan
like me
born of reflections
.
what are the colors of no tomorrow
as they slide through your naked eyes?
ancient winds sliding through the desert
whispering their secrets
to the twisted trees…
.
life is a prayer
continually answering itself
cold clear morning awaits the sun
birds adorn the gathering light
feathered songs embrace me
and the children off to school
impeccable
are the words behind the silence
and the face behind your eyes
…the taste of water
the taste of tea
the taste of tears
under your skin
morning lies
under future rainbows
where are the colors
yet to be seen?
infinite sea of naked light
swallowing earth and sky
warm currents ebb and flow through the fathomless depths
we are dissolved
yet find our feet
to dance
our lips
to kiss
our eyes
to meet
our hearts
to love…
this love that we are
cannot be held or given away
for it is everywhere
and everything
we are the pulse of midnight
and the sweep of dawn
we are the lonely lovers
walking hand in hand
and the gulls
gliding
effortlessly
free
unadorned
aliveness
our costumes may vary
but we all know the words
for love
.
deep beneath the colors of your eyes
where tears cannot hide
sunlight streams through your ocean
revealing naked rainbows
melting
once again
into your fingertips
tracing
the elegant shadows of time…
.
growing older
walking with my shadow
through piercing light
new turquoise rings
floating
in sky…
no tears
fall
alone…
.
grey cat treads
softly
on newly fallen petals
through diamond drops of rain
sunset looms
.
rain falls through my heart
cars splashing
the gutters are full
.
her family
all gone, now
she, alone, remembers her childhood…
precious photos stored in deep deep drawers
slide through her eyes
walking with new lovers and friends
down this lonely road
fresh rain
softly
.
every cell of my body
listens
first robin
and the morning rain
my eyes caress the morning
morning adorns my eyes
through words we touch
deeper than skin
rain soaked
and the thunder
.
woven filaments hold the twisted leaf to the breaking branch
wind sighs
not today…
love has spidery arms
we cannot see
holding
us
in the bloom of perfection
.
she slid into her own reflection
and found the moon she’d lost
colors poured through her infinitely faceted tears
she’d been
ripped
into rainbows
and swallowed by sky,
dissolved into the afterglow
singing…
.
before the birds
before rainbows
before sky
before before…
find the clothes that bind you
discover your nakedness
there is no before
or after…
joy melts into love
sorrow melts into love
love
melts
into love





The word song carries me…
So much beauty..heart is full...love overflowing...dear Nancy.. ❤
