Short Poems
PATIENCE
To all beings manifests The mango tree... her manna gently and gradually... Some rest as gifts in high grass baskets.
*
He has changed.. he has grown... no longer bud tightly closed.... but Love Fullblown
POSITIVE THOUGHT
A willow branch tracing in the pond paints the water.. sunset gold
*
Manifest are imagination's figments.. as the sun does new figs mint
EGOLESSNESS
The scarecrow said the posies were sham poseurs .... night
brought them repose from his critique.. dawn made them re-posie
PROJECTION
The mirror finds many personalities projected onto her
by passersby.
LAW BOWS TO SPIRIT
Oer a traffic light of green and red, a birdie flies diagonally
*
Not the will's resistance to surrender to God, but the Spirit's desire to flow into Love, as a stream merges with a river and the river with the sea
*
The bee does not fly with honey on his wings.. matter is irrelevant where the spirit rings
UNITY
Common ground .. is holy ground
STARSCRIPT
A flaming feather of the Pluto firebird fell to earth's floor... a sign of God's guarding guiding grace.. for He loves us evermore evermore evermore
*
Scorpio's silent secret underground springs... burst into the sun and as Sagittarian geysers sing
VICTORY
A champion racehorse at the winning line, unattached, eating the blooms of his victory wreath
*
The apple tree's blooms spun by sun looms dropped for fruit to make room .. swept away by wind broom
*
After order he'd been a cuthappy lust-er but entranced by tiger lilies' lustre he began to leave alone God's surprising little clusters
*
The iced sculpture fish has melted into his completing water.
*
TRUTH
Lies have waning wings of wax. In the sun they do not wax.
GRATITUDE
Little Tree, Little Tree, I wonder where you are
to thank you for the sweet pink fruit you did weave
from distant star.
RELEASE
The rising moon ball... tossed by the uncaptive Matterhorn seal.
ETERNAL
As joyfully as steam spirals above a cup of berry tea
do souls leave their bodies and fly to the Lord
Sufis and suffragettes have focused on preventing
the suffering of fish suffocation.
SILENCE
Basho taught us the pond has no sound no refrain..
until violated by a frog, a stone, or fingers of the rain
UNCOLLATED:
BABY PALMS
The mountain palm gave birth
Her coconut babes rolled
downhill to the sea..
Now they are islands
in that sea
.. a hard shell
bathed inside with
coconut milk
and outside by piscean seas
LAMBSQUARTERS
Atop the pieces of a baby.. a quartered lamb
they garnished the carcass with lambsquarters.
