Sight From Sound
A piercing flute; yellow bird darts above the falls Falling water, low notes drop, drip, splash, plop Cool blue pool reflects a cloudless sky, empties Flute glissandos dance along piano-chord rocks Faster now, volume, power grow as birds chirp As this river of music blusters, pushes, cascades Slides into green darkness of overhanging trees Into […]
Because
As I lay slumbering, snoring aloud Far from lumbering, boring crowd Dreamed I was a hound fleet of foot Then, I’m a hedgehog playing a flute My dream turned scary; I was a man No escape, no matter how fast I ran Then I became the spirit of this Earth Felt ill-used and thin, despite […]
Choice
Who chose which blues to paint the ocean? Are there so many because it’s always in motion?

Can Harmony Be known?
Rich harmonies spring forth, combine Close your eyes in wonder, so sublime Storyteller’s voice weaves magic above Within and without, a tale about love Chiaroscuro words shift, hide, reveal Bits of forever, our imagination steals Dreams, smoke, dim, bright, the same Win and lose, while playing life’s game Yet losers are winners, never doubt it […]

Neverending
Will we Grow, Grow up Grow old, Grow old Together In all weather Woven, weaving A tapestry Joined, cleaving Or a shroud Grieving, giving, Dying, living Out loud Friend, lover Mover, cover Shielding all, Memories Times, signs Lightening, thunder Torn asunder Torn apart Hearts shred Mere threads Tatters, blood Splatters, Should we Clutch tight, fight […]
How Often
Eyes grown dim and cloudy My memory starts to fade Not only the daily panoply But the choices I have made The horrors of youth soften Music, laughter fill the gap I always wonder how often My dark and light overlap
