Sparkling as time of day
Shifts colors to sing tones of life
Collected and dispersed on the instant

To share all radiance
With your own . . . more

Caused by yearning
Births a restless journey
About the globe in sea salt moved
Suspended and transmuted for the ride
On swells of moon and sun brought tides
To kiss a shore and stay

Sometimes the flow of day’s events
Dissolve me into rhythm, rhyme--
When fragrant air envelopes trees
And breezes trip to music time.
The colors flare their own, no care
To blend a green . . . more

Reminiscent of tired people
Whose anger flares as riled
Irascible

Necking horses straining,
Winning races, trophies, glory,

From winter's wrath

People roll windows down to smile and wave
As they drive in short-sleeved good cheer

Waiting where their bodies fall
Twisted by their fates--
Brought forth to live by poets'

I will show you
My accounts to and fro,
Between a mountain in the clouds,
And the loving birthright sea, down below;

Twelve years since my divorce and loneliness set in
Try to make its place permanent here

Your lenses, crystal clear--
Twin orbs of blue, polished by tears
Of your lovely making
To tease my heart to plead for you
To spend eternity
