love in the shadows
sparks my imagination
with words of rising

primordial ooze
yellow protein soaking toast
the pleasures of egg

float on wings of love
visit here sharing there then
gently back to nest

family & friends
hearts compass leading
fly north for winter

my mothers footprints
imprinted inside my heart
earthly homecoming

when is she coming
friendly southern traveller
not long now I think

cloudless clear blue sky
did I imagine the rain
please come back again

thunder crashing loud
awakens a deep sleeper
all rise, greet the rain

smiling cresent moon
my imagination wild
on all that can be

the circle of life
from little things big things grow
careful what you wish

the roundness of it
voluptuous in moulding
of the word poet

falling gently down
as water closes over
the sun is spark-ling

belly dancing class
mothers slow sensual rhythms
reclaiming themselves

red dust twisting past
trucks & blue & yellow men
office window view

seesaw up & down
this is the story of life
give & take with breeze

parents give their all
can i have your soul as well?
but of course you can

new fathers at work
babies struggle through night time
beards become fashion

like an oozing wave
ticks are leaving dogs in droves
my head feels itchy

air hot & humid
dog stretching on cold cement
the comforts of home

biggest mobs cat hate
rituals handed down to kids
the dog licks his paws

hearts speak through action
hear the voice of the Spirit
lift hands to the task

floating frail white flakes
like some undreamed intentions
looking for a home

wild humidity
spoken by an irishman
gives it more credence

feel the gentle touch
cool breeze caressing my skin
waking me gently

on a bright spring day
regenerating my health
sitting in the sun

friend of past years gone
tears tumble as branches fall
chainsaw echoes cry

like the blood of life
water flows from cut branches
dripping like our eyes

swing & climb no more
no leaves reveal too much sky
heart & view empty

working out the time
daylight savings back and forth
an hour wasted

lady bug glowing
childhood innocense in sight
my work day alight

my ancestors chair
encompassing nourishments
through passing seasons

rolling roiling dust
drying smothering choking
gorgeous & deadly

dizzy leaves & dust
black willy willy swirling
bringing life to ash & dirt
