The way I see you
Is the way
The night moon sees you
Illuminated in shadows.
...
The stars & I sing the psalm
I mean to wake the dawn.
I mean to let it rise right
Through me, as if
...
In bright sun’s wash
Over concrete & stone
Outlined in strong contrast
The shadow appears
...
This feeling
appears
Like the sweeping titles
of Gone With The Wind

Precious Mettle
The way I see you
Is the way
The night moon sees you
Illuminated in shadows.
The dream of my life
Has reached
Its shelf date.
So I am waiting
In glorious readiness
For a moment when
You turn towards me
& gaze at your own dream
Looking back
With all the tenderness
The human heart can hold.
A touch of silver
In the mud, Funny
What clay reveals
Hearty revelations
Of diamonds & gold.
