Periphery

Sideways looking- -
something strikes
my peripheral view.
In between the betwixt
- -twisted revery
my mind strolls through- -
just there
in the periphery it’s you,
striking brush strokes
across my mind- -making
a mark only infinite wisdom
leaves behind in distant galaxies
and unconditional love.

Rain Song

one drop forms circle
on pond’s surface- -expanding
outward infinite
possibilities
soon singing water dances
to thunder’s drum beat
echoing beyond
your hushed sleeping breath- -softness
your skin sweetest fruit

one drop forms circle
my soul dances- -expanding
infinitely light
love, I hold you safe
drifting in dawn’s warm silence
hearing droplets dance

Creation Spark

Atoms unite- -fusion
of elements and Earth.
Nature’s birth
a vivid blossoming
roars infinite–in echoes
bending- -bellowing,
eternal meandering.
Rushing, fertility flows- -
Woman glows,
Man grows- -
cerebral electricity shows
survivalist ingenuity.
Friction- -two sticks
- -two stones,
sparks ignite, flames
burn- -bright warmth.
Great Spirit’s gifts
unite humanity,
profound luminosity
of hearts- -souls melding.
You and I- -us and them- -
life’s love in continuation,
we listen to Earth’s Symphony.
