Abbreviated

Abbreviated
by the cancer raging through
she transforms and wilts

Grace



Unknowingly the
brain traps itself quietly
"Escape" whispers God

Knolls



As the sun dips red
a jellyfish sticks to sand
transparent death knoll

Release
  
Sometimes our broken
wings fold in prayer
deep inside somewhere
refusing to fly
even though
they healed long ago
 
they ache
until our soul
yawns
and releases
them into flight
over and
over and
over.......

Great Egret

On one of my many walks at a dike, I happened upon a Great Egret who was wading in the shallow water and stabbing the water for food.  I watched it for a long time, its neck elongating, it's hunger, its hunting prowess.

Great Egret

I will stab my prey
My white plumes will deceive you
Then I will swallow

Drift

Ba.Atoll Goidhoo 2010 Maldives

 
Memories shimmer like heat waves
from the perspective
the angle
the position
of the witness
 
A heart view
a mind view
a spirit view
a view of unmanifested desires
 
It was this way
No that way
That never happened
You made that up
 
Let it go
let it drift
into the waste of the desert
let it blow like sand
undulating and curving
 
But remember
the wind, the heat
Save the inward smile
and kiss the air....

It Comes Down


 
Like rain drops
from the sky
we sometimes hit
the pavement....hard
and disappear
 
Sometimes
a witness observes
but soon forgets
or is mesmerized
and drops
a poem...
