Young Girl's Dream

Two Birds In the Bush & One In the Hand

Isn't the imagery found in this Bible verse beautiful?

For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.  

The Lighthouse

When the light went out,

if it had but looked down,

past the rocks and waves, heavy now and grey, it

would have seen the dreamer.

Then, from the other side in darkness, it

would have heard the lament, 

turning about, gliding silently,

stretching to search the beach,

while not disturbing even one sand castle.

Caught in the strobe, the stony shore

throws shadows while the lonely sentinel eye

opens and closes.

Turned about, held in the moment,

it looms above the sea

against the darken sky.

If ever it comes to some end,

at a devil’s or angel’s hand,

let it be remembered  - alone,

a seeker of the now

by stops and starts of light and dark

intertwining those below.

Secrets Shared

Warm breezes whisper

Secrets young girls share,

Innocent and naïve.

Beside the lake, beneath the trees

Pussy willow flutter and dance with glee.

.

Many times, when I lie alone

In a pensive or vacant mood,

I recall the dance of the pussy willow,

Swaying in the wind,

A ripple pushed across the lake.

And more - traces of young girls’ muses higher than the trees.

To join together in the sky - never-ending lore.
