Many pages left blank

Many pages left blank
Yesterday’s clouds are gone
To know it matters in
The moment it is drawn

Useless in the future
So charming in the past
Even in the staring
Stillness is moving fast

Reaching without touching

Reaching without touching
Brokenhearted retreat
Offers of me, of us
My accepting defeat

But what is the winning
It’s not a tapestry
It’s seeing I to eye
Praising your majesty

Grow far from the forest

Grow far from the forest
It is never too late
Too find the spherical 
Saucer or charger plate

The uncaged bird still sings
How sweeter is the song
Do not let limbs enter
Give yourself space and strong

The individual

The individual 
And yet we cluster stars
The moon a reminder
And the North Star and Mars

And the wishes we make
Depending on their size
Are scooped up by dippers
Safeguarded in the skies

Sunlight in cold weather

Sunlight in cold weather
Painting with paler hands
Shadows in twilight blue
Slow gravity of sands

Visiting when it can
Each time staying longer
The Rite of Spring music
Only growing stronger

Reams of paper tigers

Reams of paper tigers
More and more will persist 
The machine being built
To combat the resist

This is target practice 
Freedom fighters absurd 
Attacking the actions
The essence of the word

A tsunami warning

A tsunami warning
Children are on the beach
The heart swells with the World
That the arms cannot reach

Escalating power
It is right to be wrong
Is our identity 
Hardness to get along
