• a winter’s afternoon

    astral projection
    light years past propulsion
    a hastened clip
    duel rockets tied to every ship
    picking up the pace
    aurora’s pearly smile upon her golden face
    to comb her flaxen curls
    with the teeth of stars
    waiting it out till night
    recedes in the glory of day
    to light up the sky with blue
    the sun follows suit
    as cool as a moon in a winter’s afternoon.

  • light of day

    stars like silver foil kisses
    served on Little Dipper dishes
    the man in the moon croons a tune
    of song about his only sun
    to rise and set in clarity
    the wisdom in his charity
    fire burns brilliantly his golden mastery
    resilient flame he dance before the Earth
    heat is neat in skies the limitless blue
    clouds sheer as shimmering shawls come near
    to beckon the beautiful center of the universe
    God’s gift throughout the heavens
    the angels tumble and roll
    cajoled by the laughter of levity
    mild in the month of May
    behold the light of day!

  • nightfall

    morning sun evening moon
    majestic ocean come what may
    in east end towns by the bay
    the moon is full
    to color the day
    in pinks and grays
    green gold inlays
    the 8th fold path
    moon bath
    nightfall
    creatures turn a snowy white
    in the light of a star filled sky
    felt the petal and the leaf
    under cover of belief
    in the forest where the air would weep
    the grass too tall to worry
    the short end of the greener stem
    exude young shoots a mauve in rows curved curly
    in morning the moon descends to dream
    in evening the stars wrapped in silver
    of merriment mirrored
    sparkling suspended animals in
    cobalt sky
    for everyone
    a hug from God
    for a tender goodnight.
