Askew without tangent

A skew without tangent
In the darkness between
Objects of light hanging
On a black background scene

Far from the nearest star
Longing for together
A compressed galaxy
Concurrent bellwether

These days are mere morsels

These days are mere morsels
Not even crumbs of time
So much spent in raucous
Little movement in mime

The grace of an orchard
Dripping and falling fruit
A table for two while
Time plays a lazy flute

All this and nothing new

All this and nothing new
Even clouds look the same
Where is the discover
Elements without name

A recipe for soul
Can we add to batter
Let in environment
Seek the greater matter

This is a tragedy

This is a tragedy
Warm winters fooling trees
Birds in January
Nesting before a freeze

And yet we celebrate
The warmth is melting heart
Winter far from over
And will it ever start

Embracing the unknowns

Embracing the unknowns
Unleashed like clouds above
Losing the familiar
As fitting as a glove

Inviting absorption
Of dormant spools of thread
Embroidery, serger
Strangers arranged to wed

A small becomes worldly

A small becomes worldly
A seed becomes a tree
A belief now practice
A shackle - liberty!

Once confined, now rampant
Tornado, forest fire
Minor whirlwinds of change
Can make foundations spire

Instantaneous gasp

Instantaneous gasp
In the awe of it all
Witness to the wonder
From sunshine to snowfall

In the intake of breath
Lilac scent in frostbite
Each end of the spectrum
From dark dark to light light
