Dipping into our outer
Edges of consciousness,
The moon climbs up
The mountain of darkness
And creates a lamp
To bring the night
Into view.
It does not question
Its purpose as it
Travels through this nightly
Sojourn. And it does
So whether it is
Seen or hidden
From our view.
When it has no light
To reflect, it makes its
Run in silence.
Then, in tune with
The cycles of womanly
Bleeding, it accepts
The light of the distant
Sun and bounces
Its illumination back
To us.
This, then, is my hymn
Of gratitude to the moon.
And to its
Seemingly sunny outlook
Which it readily carries
In both its darkness
And its light.

However dark
The early morning,
I know that the
Sun is coming.
I wake.
Anticipation’s door
Opens into another
Bountiful day.
Sometimes, in the
Darkness, I am not
Yet sure what
The bounty will be.
And so I open my
Eyes not knowing
Yet exactly which
Moment will bring
The dawn.

Beautiful:
This poem
Really
Is “for” you.
Yours is the
One smile
Guaranteed
To bring out mine.
Your request
Is the one
I cannot refuse.
Your eyes
The ones I long
To gaze into
When everything
Else is placing
Demands on me
Or you.
This is real.
Really.

In Winter,
Sunlight hangs vibrant
Colors against Snow’s canvas.
Momentarily, her artwork
Takes up the whole sky
And asks we humans to
Bathe in the chilled glory.
In our futile rushing about
And failed multi-tasking,
If we were — even for that
Brisk moment — to respond
Solely to her invitation,
Something in us would
Change.
Even if only for that
Brisk moment.

The inception of
The dream
Is rarely like
Its ending.
The dream
Begins
With the
Dreamer.
After starting,
Everything is
Up for grabs.
Will the hero
And the heroine
Be everlasting?
Or will they
Even survive
Until the final
Curtain?
I don’t need to
Be the hero
Or the survivalist.
I only need to
Live the dream
To the fullest
That I can.
So, for now,
It is enough
To know that
I have acted to
Start the dream.
Hold my hand
And we will
Fulfill all that
We can.
