“Long and High – the Night Song” – Poetry

Sing me long! Sing me high! Joyous seas! Burning tide! Leave me rolling – Leave me free! Waves of light, rapturous seas!   The joyful coming, the joyful going - Racing light and secret black - Always leaving and arriving - Reflection shows you what you lack -   Highest light of crescent waning -… Continue reading “Long and High – the Night Song” – Poetry

  “A Labyrinth Of Mind” – Poetry

A light sits in the labyrinth Of delicate shape and simple mind, Flickering in its endless dance, The gem of eternity fair.   Its walls are high, The sky a steel gray - Twist. Turn. Forward. Back.

“The Intrepid” – Poetry

I saw a battle waged today between two fearful beasts - One born in the west and the other in the east . The first was clothed in tattered threads that formerly had gleamed - The second wore a kingly robe made from our darkest dreams.

“Just Like Me” – Poetry

I looked into the largest sea And saw myself looking back at me. I gazed into the ocean deep And saw my body fast asleep. But as I watched the ocean’s tide, I glimpsed a darkness still alive. The challenge drew me to the past, To ugly thoughts revealed at last. I passed through an… Continue reading “Just Like Me” – Poetry

“Silence” – Poetry

Stand atop a mountain Death and peril far below And feel the inner calling Of the fire and the snow. Stand atop a mountain Lodged betwixt the war and peace And see the inner beauty Of the angel and the beast.

“Dear Friend” – Poetry

In fear I tremble – dark of night - The racing terrors holding sway - Disturbed by images bold and bright - Cowering, praying for light of day. A friend I have, far off in space - A palace of moon beams and feathers abounds. Mind frozen still – words hastily vanish - Emptiness. Panic… Continue reading “Dear Friend” – Poetry

“Combing the Locks” – Poetry

Reclined upon a tapestried throne Silence. Contemplation. A tangled web goes ‘round and ‘round Visions of restlessness plague me! As the Weaver Of Destiny Tallies the ties I have lost. A weaver skilled is she Wisdom burning in her myriad eyes The strands so different, yet the same. Why mourn the sacrifice? Where is the… Continue reading “Combing the Locks” – Poetry
