The Last Lap

The Last Lap
In the last lap of
A very long race
I awoke with a start
To vibrant colors
On textured threads of
Light swirling close.
Each distinguished knowing,
Gesture, smile, grace with
Love that asks just when
Is now for us to weave
Ancient strands crafted
Into ageless love tapestries.

Silence Runs Deep

Silence Runs Deep
Silence runs through,
Like a determined wind
Catching loneliness unaware,
Lofting spirit to new heights
From where to observe
An earth-dance relationship
Mired in propriety,
Ankle-deep resisting flight.
What does it take
To shout the truth
For all to hear?
Shock would-be inquisitors
With affection authentic,
Shed villainous guilt
That holds one tight,
Restrains dance – yes flight
Above a dull morass
Where lines of conformity
Form front to back
Observing tick-tock time
Already past never present,
Missing brilliance joy,
Unrestrained by custom
Even etiquette – how sad.

Indeed A Celebration

Indeed A Celebration
Listen to patter splash
As bay wind blows past
Filling the narrow canal –
Yellow blossoms touch close.
A launch rushes through
Determined swells building,
Voices carry atop kayakers,
Heading home for sunset.
Eyes enrapture orange craft,
Flashing paddles brisk red,
Reflect stirred water wet,
Sun dipped horizon gold.
Still he sits in silence,
As if to contemplate
A color masterpiece
Stretched across a canvas.
Solitude of silence
Defines quiet harmony,
Wordless sound splendor,
In aloneness – balance.
No needs – no wants,
In presence foretaste
Pleasurable joyfulness –
Indeed a celebration.
