Exhaling to inhale

Exhaling to inhale
Let go, allowing in
Finding life to whistle
Even when air is thin

What is life?  "I don't know."
Moments of time that's ours
With those we love amid
All the countless flowers

Afraid to be one note

Afraid to be one note

No sense of melody

Inprisoned in a cell

Guilt with self-felony

Angered at bravery

That never came to be

Iron-willed and fisted

But surrendering me

Dancing on Lexington

Dancing on Lexington
A rich summer July
The Chrysler a high point
Until a stormy sky

Dropped raindrops and droplets
Flooding the ballroom floor
In the intersection
At fortieth and four

Effortless intellect

Effortless intellect
Emotionally pure
Starving for wholeness and
Stability in blur

Gravitating to a
Simple saturation
Of wisdom and kindness
And love's coronation

Celebrate the basic

Celebrate the basic
And not only the rare
Collecting the common
Simplicity of air

It's not a finial
But a foundation stone
The internal Higg's both
Fundamental and lone

Cloud shadows on treetops

Cloud shadows on treetops
As the hill starts to climb
In one single rhythm
No melody or rhyme

So far from luxury
Back to the organic
Fewer days requiring
A mind or mechanic

The house is now a noun

The house is now a noun
Even the trees are still
Sunrays like stone columns
Across the window sill

Echoes of roars from a
Joyous coliseum
Now sediment on floors
In this mausoleum

Confluence of tunnels

Confluence of tunnels
Forging a single path
Reaching the same number
With such different math

Ancient ruins leveled
Exposing fertile fields
Van Gogh's sower sowing
Our seeds of greater yields

This is about our love

This is about our love
The power of the word
That can make every noun
Turn into every verb

We exchange a symbol
For each of us, a ring
How our lives are more than
A person, place or thing
