NEW DAY

                         NEW DAY

                                    Loud sea,  

            not angry,

just forceful.

                                    New day,

                                    new life,

the past a tale

that happened

to somebody else.

Nothing left from yesterday

except some bills to pay

                                    and some garbage to put out.

New day,

fresh start,

Stand tall,

have a ball,

Make some noise,

                                    join the boys.

Not strange,

not odd,

Just you 

at last,

You, you. you,

Unique.

DECEMBER 4 JOTTINGS

    DECEMBER 4 JOTTINGS

   1.my values:

honesty and laughter

personal authenticity

respect for the individuality of others

admiration for the sky-painters

and their constant flow of masterpieces.

   2.the beginning and the end,

tick-tock, let’s have a clock

to measure time,

which isn’t real, some say.

                         3   the Sun’s the one,

and yet,

                              it’s only one of many.

 4  no beginning, no end,

   it’s called infinity,

   beyond our human understanding.

  5  divine mind is everywhere,

                              but different in each of us,

                              as it pieces down

                              to fit our finitude.

                           6  soft morning rain

       upon the sea,

       a mingling of similar elements.  

7   I bless you with these mortal words,

   open to multiple interpretations.

THE WALK

     

                          THE WALK

                        I walked alone

along the beach,

I couldn’t wait for you. 

The sand became my partner,

the sea and sunlight too.

WHY NOT?

                                     WHY NOT?

                                    All fretting banished,

nothing now

but lowly loneliness

with a cup of silliness

stirred in,

running words 

    down

    the

    page,

hoping you

            can join me

on the road

to joy,

flowers blooming,

birds singing,

and the sky,

a masterpiece

in blue and white.

LIFE

                                          LIFE

                                    Let go, let go

the scattered,

shattered pieces

of the past

and wander in wonder,

lonely as the Moon

in borrowed light,

same light

that gave us life

on temporary loan,

human life

in all its splendor—

breathing, feeling,

moving, seeing,

hearing, talking,

laughing. thinking

and naming

things known

as  well as

things unknown.

NOW

                                           NOW

                                    In peace and stillness,

untouched by nothing

but celestial beauty

and manmade music,

all the lies that masquerade

as truth have been

banished from the kingdom.

 

Evil conquered,

mankind, restored

to original innocence,  

can dance

at last with joy

to the Thunder

and Lightning Polka.

A MORNING SONG

                                                 A MORNING SONG

                                                It’s day again:

the sea wears a new blue,

            the sky transcolored too.

A red ribbon divides them

like a gift waiting to be unwrapped. 

The surf plucks the shore

in melody monotonic,

and Papa Sun beckons,

“Arise, arise, my child,

and walk into a world

designed for your delight.
