Flowing

Force directing things
Little impedes progress
Thus motion, nearly continuous,
Captures my attention
Pulls me close
I cannot escape the
Pleading gaze
My choices speak
To life’s future
Me.

Compassion’s Call

Compassion’s call loud
At the center of my life
Spring’s gentle rains calm

And Finally Sunday

This day of resting
Rejuvenating our beings
Again preparing

And now Friday

As our labors slack
Passions which enrich our lives
Finally given air

Wednesday Rains

Listen to raindrops
Rattling rooftops gently
Soon forging rivers

Forgotten Tomorrow

Into the edge 
Of the forgotten tomorrow. 
Faster than the
Flights of dreams.

Come my heart. 
More powerful than
This vacant, dusty 
Fantasy. Enrichment
Filled senses
Collapse into
Mindlessness.

Tuesday

This week continues
Finish yesterday’s missed stuff.
Little creation.

World Poetry Day

As today is World Poetry Day, I offer up this contribution:

Shall we celebrate power?
Speaking conscience to the brutal.
When nothing else can resist.
Words sharper than swords?

Or those words capturing love?
That exquisite, maddening
Sensation. Delightful, painful,
No greater sorrow, or pleasure.

Poetry, indefinable, glorious
Mystery. Savor this moment
For soon we shall recommence
Our most divine torment.
