Artists

artists must create
regardless of recognition
process nurtures soul

just as

souls seek connection
not personal crucifixion
body of Christ, whole

la Lune

Tucson Winter Moon

Tucson’s winter moon
peaks down at desert life
chilling deepest night

silver, solid clouds
untorn
keep Sonora desert warm
but on this night
all take flight
forlorn

waxing winter moon
quite bright
reflecting Sol’s revealing light
sandy floor, with shadows
does adorn

loudly, lucidly
marauders warn
as they form
their posse-pack-swarm

some
inevitably
will mourn

 

*Inspired by Samuel Peralta at dVerse Poets Pub and his lively explanation of la Lune

A River of Stones Flows

January 10, 2012

at this moment
can I focus on anything else
when towhees and sparrows
dance?

January 11, 2012

Clouded is my morning
Not my vision
Or my mind
Clarity a gift, earned

January 12, 2012

In the calm warmth
of my solitary day
I realize
I like it this way

January 13, 2012

Moods tint all views
Best to understand the mood
Than alter the view

Gin and juice
Calming produce
When taken in wee amounts

January 15, 2012

Clouds soften desert sky
Slowing pace of love and I
Offering a reason why
not? lie about and sigh…
It is good.

January 16, 2012

rain washed away dust
prompted fresh rust, corrosion
decay feeds new life

Four Stacked Stones

January 7, 2012

Daunted
I emerged valiant

Challenged
I emerged

January 8, 2012

In the light of a new day
Yesterday’s disappointments
Are mere shadows of themselves
If I shine my light
They disappear

January 9, 2012

The virtual
Grows literal
If nurtured
Just a bit

January 10, 2012

Thrasher’s melody
Sings me from the ecstasy
Of sunrise slumber
