A breeze can blow you far

A breeze can blow you far
A melody wafting
As daydreams locomote
Even in the softing 

A little on the left
Stars ridging on the dome
Grieving is orphaned love
That never finds a home

Turn and see the magic

Turn and see the magic
Swirls of days in cyclone
See without worry of
The future and unknowns 

Patches on the sleeves 
That YSL in tweed
The youth gladly exchanged 
Two sunflowers in seed

After blindness is gone

After blindness is gone
In the brightness of stark
There is a harshness in
The departure of dark

Reality regrets
Time cremated and tossed
And the splintering wood
That was varnished and glossed

My hand raised and asking

My hand raised and asking
Who is there to respond
Release these spores from my
Spiraling jetty frond

Not waving but asking
Stevie Smith may save me
Fending off the starling
And loving tenderly

Starting to cross the line

Starting to cross the line
Distance measured in near
Ten fingers on the hand
Is it the same for year

A huge yellow moonrise 
Chased by theBig Dipper
Or below Orion
A single warm slipper

Permission to forest

Permission to forest
Allowing time to ring
To age in canopy
Rejoicing chorus Spring

The sense of belonging
In a greater landscape
From the wisest oak to
The cultivated grape

Go down as gently as

Go down as gently as
A setting sun on land
Our lives are not made for
The constant ampersand

Fallen trees in forest
Even evergreens log
The loss of outlines when
A cloud greets us as fog
