I See You

You don't see me,

see you, see her.

You don't see me,

see you, see him.

You don't see me

but I see you.

Oh what you do

When you don't know

Someone sees you

and the whole show.

You don't see me

and I don't see you;

You seeing me

Seeing someone too.

Full Moon (2-6-96)

Tonight there's a full moon

An absolutely magnificent full moon

that glows in the midst of ebony tendrils.

It's huge. 

A triumphant wheel

embraced in onyx nails.

Dia de los Muertos

Passed away
No longer with us
Gone to a better place

No matter what
We use instead
The meaning it cannot replace


Passed away
No longer with us
Gone to a better place

Today's the day to
remember those who've
passed into this state

Passed away

No longer with us
Gone to a better place

Remember lives of those we've loved
Who cared for us as best they could

Remember lives of those to young
To have left us in the first place

Remember lives not just today
but always for you see

The memory is the
life legacy.

Complicated Connection

Fantasy and Reality are not

mutually exclusive identities

of what you see or perceive to be

but conditions based upon

the simple duality

of our complicated connection

to what has to be.

A Thought

She wrote the words,

"The world was wrong."

She sang the notes 

of nature's song.

All at once

a thought occurred 

"We belong,

It's not absurd."

Believe in Yourself

"We are all mad here."

The Cheshire Cat says

as he disappears.

Anger, Confusion, and Eccentricity

All that and more

your personal identity.

"We are all mad here."

The Cheshire Cat says

as he reappears.

Laughter, Love, Hope and Serenity

All this and more

your personal identity.

"We are all mad here."

The Cheshire Cat says

as he holds back tears.

Tears of Laughter.

Tears of Joy.

Silent tears filled with noise.

Believe in yourself

Or fade away

Listen child to what I say.

"We are All mad here."

"We Are all mad here."

"We are all mad Here."

AWAKENING

A blanket of baby blue:
With a white mist coursing through its seams.

A canvas of baby blue:
With a bright orange explosion,
Fiery red with golden streaks dancing all around.

A blanket of ebony:
With twinkling, blinking sparks weaving in and out.

A canvas of ebony:
With beautiful yellows and primrose reds
Waking up early to become-

A blanket of baby blue

THE WHITE WONDER

Glistening white
O so bright in the dead of night

Icy Cold
Makes you shiver with its touch

Nice and light
So you can throw it in the air
Build a snowman if you dare.

Take a tumble, build An Angel
Do so much with it’s white flurries
As you scamper and it scurries.

STAR FLIGHT

It’s tail burning bright

Towards it’s destination

It speeds through the night.

TREEDROPS

The trees are crying many colored tears

For the winter season has appeared

But in the Spring, they’ll cry anew

Joyous blossoms for me and you.

SHAPE SHIFTERS

Soft, white, chameleons

Slowly drifting away

No one knows where they go

But they’re always here each day.
