invading sunshine
through the blinds of my window
culminates the dream
through the blinds of my window
culminates the dream

feather and drape a blue sky
not a hint of rain

aglow in Autumn's warm sun
Nature's menorah

The sky splits open
and a waterfall rushes
from the void like light.

Covered in winter's
branches, moon rises from a
bed of soft gray clouds.

night grieves loss of light
stars tentatively console

Cat on windowsill
Folding boneless in sunlight
Origami breathes

Thin sliver of moon
hangs askew in the darkness
of an Autumn sky
hangs askew in the darkness
of an Autumn sky
the impatient sun
rising earlier each day
gladdens dawn's birdsong
rising earlier each day
gladdens dawn's birdsong
Birds sing in mornings,
a lively chatter at dawn.
I breathe in the day.
a lively chatter at dawn.
I breathe in the day.
I know of no one
that would wrap up the sunshine
and give it to me.
that would wrap up the sunshine
and give it to me.

up in the sky-black moon hides

Cloudburst Shatters Forth
Quick- commence the dynamics
Teardrops from Heaven

Teardrops from Heaven
A dewy green blade
Bids the bright dawn good morning
To begin the day
Bids the bright dawn good morning
To begin the day
Away we fly now
Through starlit skies above us
To visit the moon
Through starlit skies above us
To visit the moon
maple leaves shiver
waning half moon suspended
slow vanishing act

In summer's delight,
Sky's old quarrels with Earth fade
into warm embrace
Sky's old quarrels with Earth fade
into warm embrace
almost spring twilight...
to be parents, in silence
on the green park swing
to be parents, in silence
on the green park swing
dazzling lights in sky
Jupiter outshines them all
planetary pride
Jupiter outshines them all
planetary pride
Oh shimering moon
How wonderful you so are
Lighting my dark path
How wonderful you so are
Lighting my dark path
the black butterflies
startled, they vacate their trees-
blocking the sunlight
startled, they vacate their trees-
blocking the sunlight
restless nights, jade lit
autumn winds blow tattered cloud
across moon spirit
autumn winds blow tattered cloud
across moon spirit
a white sun sets in
the ruined Colosseum,
in buds pink in snow
the ruined Colosseum,
in buds pink in snow
Sun is full of light
but it can become so dark
eclipsing my life
but it can become so dark
eclipsing my life
new leaves crowd old trees
dance together in the sun
soon to fall to earth
dance together in the sun
soon to fall to earth
winter moon in shards
a smell of wine lingering
on the attic floor
a smell of wine lingering
on the attic floor
a gravesite at dusk...
he speaks to the stone angel
in his mother tongue

in his mother tongue
Under a bright sky
White light shimmers over sea
Daisies bow to waves.
White light shimmers over sea
Daisies bow to waves.
full late winter moon
entwined in bare tree branches
caught, then floating free
entwined in bare tree branches
caught, then floating free
I saw overhead
the color that the sky bled:
chain rust rattle red
the color that the sky bled:
chain rust rattle red
lovely clouds moved fast
above lace branches in bud
a dangerous sky
above lace branches in bud
a dangerous sky
no sight of sunrise
no sound of the dawn breaking
no need to awake
no sound of the dawn breaking
no need to awake
Blush in low sunlight
Beetles exchange honeydew
With the tiny ants.
Beetles exchange honeydew
With the tiny ants.
The vast copper sky
Stony silence of the night
Shower astral light.
Stony silence of the night
Shower astral light.
Cold and moonless night:
stars pin up the black velvet
curtain hiding me.
stars pin up the black velvet
curtain hiding me.
up north?winter sun
skates across the frozen lakes
until spring sun comes

until spring sun comes
