For the sake of knowledge
Of some chaos"

Island Poems



"I ask for the earth
To be healed in spirit
Amidst eternal revolution

Pollution nuclear waste
Ecological distaste
The cycle a circle completes

To the beginning
The end returns
Harmony to disharmony
And back again

Closer and closer
To the end we come
Planet falling into the sun"



Variations on a ferry



"It's not comparison
That keeps me
Awed by you
And not another

It's simpler
And less complex

It's the nature
Of your being
Drawing me near
Like a river
Reaching for the sea

I travel endlessly
Down the streams
Longing for the nectar
I sense in your dreams"



Variations on a river



"Reflections
We are
Magnificent
Reflections

Taking turns
Being the sun

Shine on
My sweet moonshadow
Shine on me
My own sweet sun"



Variations on fused glass



"Fleeting spirits in flesh and time
Profound earthbound creatures
Dwarfed by universal vastness
Still seeking meanings to rhyme with life

Floundering
In seas of dreams
Seeing reflections in multitudes of questions
Unanswered connections to schemed answers

I find it amusing
Teasing these joyous sunlight filters
Into being leaves
Quivering with windlight

Full
Feeling bright
Insight comes with sky filling voids
For bird lessons and flower sessions

Look!

There, by light, is
Darkness creeping into night
The curtains falling
The visions resting

Awaiting mornings newfound continents
Sometimes lost by sailors tossed into powerful destinies
Crossing oceans for an interlude
With another reflection

Amazing
This gentle solitude
Demanding no assumption or platitude
Sufficient unto its own wholeness

With infinite gratitude
I thank you for your smile
And give you wonder filled with awe
Crying years into starlight as pools of happy tears

And the seasons of fruit
Are bearing the wine
As we intertwine in each other's vine
And giggle for no more reasons"



Variations on an island harbor



"Instants of time
Perceived
Only by accidental evolution
Of a species going
Nowhere into nothing
Thereby creating the
Illusions of space and
The idea of something"



Variations on waterfall rainbow




"Don't hang up
The phone

A hung phone

A phone hung
Hang it up
The phone
Don't"



Variations on an rocky knoll




"Parting such sorrow sweet
For blossoms of love do weep
Upon their recognition seeked
Knowledge of themselves

Sweet because the depth is seen
Like freeing of some moonbeam
From the moon

Which
Still attached
Know not their source
Till freed to look between
Of course"


Variations on a island dock



"The dreams were lies
Sounds like lover's cries
Images cast into skies
Nothing for the being
Over and done
Around and through
Didn't want to let go of you
Until fingers could not grasp

One hand
To clasp
Collaspe
Melt
Throw up
Like vegetable stew
Once passed through
Sick inside
Sick outside
Help you if I could
Knew I would
Fail"



Variations on a classic boat




"Its so simple
When its strong
To gently flow along
And hear the seasons of your song
For we can bring
And age our wine
Without the vats of time to interfere"



Variations on birds in the snow



"The space empties
Where you used to be
Beside me

Empties and feels vacant
Left
Lost and behind
Blind space
Deaf time
Alone
And you're on my mind"



Variations on ships




"You
Flowing
Near some center
I remember this glow
From a long time ago
Aflame again
You play music
Like I dream
Holding me in some other planet
Swaying
Sighting stars
Moving cars
Borrowed book
Ships sailing home"



Variations on a lake



"You will come back
Like an ancient dream
Remembered still
Within the space
Where my sun shines
Lighting the face
Of my moon
Where you appeared
In the reflection
Giving me sight
For parts unseen"



Variations on rocks and ivy




"Past recollections
Present reflections
Future connections
Intertwined
Interwined
Majestic collections
Of mind"



Variations on a jazz poster




"Madam Queen
Mow them over
Frogs and trees
Moss and clover

Clear the land
Progress at hand
Spiders weave their
Webs in sand

Ride your whore
Your Madam Queen
Get your gore
And kicks between
The little space before
They die
And you Victorious
Ride them over

Go
Gettem
Ignorant
Rover"



Variations on a yellow flower



"The crow knows
Why the wind blows
Up the hill to take a drink
The mountain fountain flows
Garlic grows
Boat rows
Chicken crows
You
Play music and
My heart
Sings"



Variations on yard toys





"Osha
Flowing aware
We knew
We were one
Yet two

Osha
Taught me to play
Socks

Saw my thoughts
Understood
I knew

Liked my music
Heard the birds
Cocked his head
Looking for their
Sounds

Gone so soon
Not this too
Knew you
Knew you

This is the way
The living end
Not with a whimper
Just a bang"



Variations on dog





"Heard the song
The chickens sing
Forty watts in winter
In an early morning dream
Heard the song
The chickens sang
Singing on for me
The song the chickens sung
Is singing on"



Variations on a rooster





"To love
To completely consume
To hear within one's own heart
The other's song
To breathe in tune
To the ancient dance of
Time"



Variations on love
