Spruce priest

towering spruce branches
must have scratched
and torn the sagging clouds
the stratus blanket
wrapped tightly around
the midday sun rays
and played peak-a-boo
with the Helios crown
the tiny spruce needles
took their own aspersion
as divinely ordained to 
and the sacred water 
floating through the sky
cast downward lightly
momentary in blessing
in a rain that questioned
if it really happened at all

Fuss over fusion

the sun's the
chandelier
we've danced
under countless
times before
we've waited
to give rise
to four hands
and four feet
to make this
dance a little
more colorful
a little more
a challenge
for perhaps
we grew bored
though not sure
why that was now
really wish that
wasn't the case now
but anyhow with
two brains and
a list of lives
though we might
be surprised
we can find
the one heart
that waits in
it's own rhythm
and two souls
that have danced
under one

Wafting woo

musky perfume calling

out in the air

a silent message

with a loud voice

out in the air

resting in the heat

of the blatant sun

the serpentine scent

rides the currents

of late Spring breezes

coaxing tiny iridescent wings

luring silk paper wings

through the same currents

out in the air

in silent messages

loud and clear

End of Gemini

Spring catches its breath

and Summer blows in

and the young grow fat

on young tender growth

while everything new unfurls

under suns that chase

the elusive wisps of clouds

buds break and blooms burst

changing a sea of green

into the diversity divinity 

has cherished for all eternity

and it is at this moment

in the encircling year's twist

the twins link their golden arms

to escort each other out

on some sultry solstice eve

In passing

in the sight

in the slightest

moment of that sight

the shift of the world

pulled at its own gravity

a war for knights and kings

to surrender to

in the sight

brief passing and

momentary reflection

the world turned differently

the pavement turned around

turned slowly and suddenly

to give into

the sight


June scene

the hummingbird

made sure it was seen

when it flittered around 

the corner of the house

sure it could have been

a large butterfly

though it didn't

float like a leaf

caught in the breeze

sure it could have been

a piece of litter

though it didn't 

continue its drift

caught in the breeze

its movement and

direction was intentional

a suspended and grand display

floating in the glory

of the afternoon sun
