It flashes it's message
in a dream state
world of somnolent absurdities
Making up the universe
...

The sun beams danced,
they danced on the roof,
and they danced with the trees,
and they danced on the branches,
...

The purser said to don the jackets, With a smile, another drink, replied I, of course complied

Forty foot of black steel plate From sea to white laced rail. Pride of the White Star Line. Record crossing, wonder of the seven seas. New technology, built unsinkable!
...

Sandwiched between
layers of confusion.
The red flush of betrayal, gut punched when first felt.
...

One Being

I am breathless, foundering, awe struck
Can't conceive One Being!
...

To see is to admire
An immediate sharing
quite willing to be who she is
Captivating all who know the secret
...

Gentle rains, smiling skies
welcome tiny hints of change
stark season's fragile growth
pale shy sprouts open their eyes
...

Mighty in their efforts, breathing their harsh songs
mountains and deserts sit in solitary splendor
romantic trails shaped by shadows and shade
...

Creeping morn's damp coats fen and fair.
The shrouded pond exhales its steamy breath.
A solitary crow observes the milky cold.
Finished fields of golden rod wave, nod.
...

People were weeping
in the White House.
His steps echoed down the hall,
past the red and green rooms.
...

...

What can be said of such a message, a universal communication
A gift, effortlessly bestowed
somewhere between heaven and earth
an infinite language
...

Shimmering sensuous force
iridescent morning's glory
the velvety spotted butterfly
is drawn to the buttery blossom

...

Look into the old man's eyes calendar days backward, holding hands
to see the boy that made the man

The morning reflects the sun
...

What is this creepy thing
inflecting my body?
Busily digesting flesh melting
First stages of the blob
...

What does he do that I don't?
Oh, he writes on and on,
Occasionally uses too much paper.
Then the spellbinding lines.
...

Dancing with butterflies
Flying through
Worlds of wonder.
Imaginatively playful,
...
