Ghost Of Summer

.

Sometimes I hear the music of Frost. 

. 

Ghost Of Summer       -       17 Dec 22 

Outside Jack Frost dances 

In the grass with the 

Ghost of Summer 

In the house 

Our lips dance together to 

The song of Love in our Hearts 

. 

I know where I would rather be. 

. 

Lips

.

She knows how to dance. 

. 

Lips       -      07 Dec 22 

Moving slowly though the night 

With a song on our lips

Flying back to the Multiverse 

With the thoughts and dreams

Collected through all the years 

And the song fills all the missing sounds 

As our lips dance together 

. 

And may even teach me a few moves. 

. 

Silent Music

.

Listening to the enchanting sounds. 

.

Silent Music       -       04 Dec 22

Wind passing 

Moving branches 

In a slow dance 

To the silent music 

Of the celestial orchestra

. 

It can be heard in the wind. 

. 

Edge Of The World

.

An hypnotic dance. 

. 

Edge Of The World        -        26 May 22 

With you 

Watching 

The sea dance for us 

Slow movement 

Accompanied 

By the gulls over 

The edge of the world 

Water 

Land 

Air binds them 

Into the eternal dance 

. 

Perfect for the long slow afternoons. 

. 

Equilibrium

.

Balance and harmony. 

. 

Equilibrium       -       10 Mar 22 

Where the balance point

Sits 

Can equilibrium

Be found

The universe rotates 

About that place

In the eternal dance 

Of darkness and light

. 

I enjoy the dance. 

. 

Gavotte

.

A little joyful dance.

. 

Gavotte       -      16 Feb 22 

Welcome back to me

A dance to encourage you 

Into my arms 

My arms ache for you 

We gavotte together 

Again the way we used

To call the piper 

To guide us across the floor

. 

Celebrating a welcome return. 

. 

Fickle Sunshine

.

The sun is not always visible. 

. 

Fickle Sunshine        -       05 Feb 22

In the fickle sunshine 

Of a late morning 

I walked slowly 

Slowly 

To see the sea 

Dance 

To amuse me

And change my mood 

She had a hard task 

My Lover was not with me

. 

The sunshine does not always help. 

. 

Alone With My Thoughts

.

Keep out of the way. 

. 

Alone With My Thoughts          -       29 Nov 21 

Sometimes the only way 

To allow free flow

Is to be alone 

Let my thoughts 

Wander by themselves 

With the flow unimpeded 

By any outside influence 

And let them dance and fly 

. 

Only when alone. 

. 

Tides Of Thought

.

Whether I stand by the water's edge in fact or in dream I see the tide.

. 

Tides Of Thought      -       20 Nov 21 

Ebb and flow

Words intermingle

Form clumps and islands

In the tides 

Of thought washed 

Washed continually

By the dream of the Moon

As I watch the eternal dance 

. 

My vantage point has no bearing on the dance.

. 

Night Winds

.

Hearing them. 

.

Night Winds       -      31 Mar 21 

Trees dance with their shadows

Wild movements 

Decorum abandoned

Night winds continue on 

Past dawn

.

Seeing the dance continue. 

. 

Daytime Dream

.

Thoughts mingled, memories and dreams of you. 

. 

Daytime Dream      -      28 Nov 20

Sitting in the sunshine 

Watching the damselflies 

Dance above the stream 

Not really focused 

More intent on the thoughts 

Of you in my daytime dream 

And drifting toward you 

As my dream develops 

And grows 

. 

The damselflies from decades ago, you now and always. 

. 

Unexpected Touch

.

A touch can trigger so many different thoughts. 

. 

Unexpected Touch      -      27 Oct 20 

Thinking about something else 

When a surprise 

Unexpected touch 

Brought attention back 

Suddenly 

Pleasantly 

Her eyes touched 

My gaze 

Her hand touched 

My arm 

And I was drawn 

Into the spirit dance 

. 

Fascinating how a touch can make a connection. 

. 

Welcome

.

Not a time I see too often but I am aware of it. 

. 

Welcome     -     14 Jul 20 

Morning shatters the night 

Light grows in intensity 

To welcome the day

Dance on into the world 

Take your song with you 

Scatter the stars in your wake 

. 

New days, no matter when they are experienced, are always welcome. 

. 

After Dark

.

Watching the light. 

. After Dark    -    12 Jan 20 

The only light 

Comes from a candle 

Lit to show the way 

Shadows dance 

In the quiet 

Of the night 

Distant dreams 

Dance along 

All things dance 

After dark 

To the music 

In the mind 

. 

Watching the shadows. 

. 

Listening

.

Listen to all the sounds from everywhere. 

. 

Listening    -    02 Dec 19 

Heartbeats 

Thunder within 

Telling you that I 

Am alive 

Are you listening 

To the pulse 

Talking to you 

Leading us into 

A sacred dance 

. 

Listening is always a good idea. 

. 

Dark Stars

.
Seeing the mysteries in darkness.

.
Dark Stars   -   11 Aug 19

Mythic shifts in space
Darkness fills the sky
The quest is momentarily over
Awaiting the dark stars
To shift imagination into
New vision
Dark thoughts matched
By the stars
In their dance

.
Have you watched the dance?

.

In The Sweet Night

.
Watching you.

.
In The Sweet Night    - 17 Jun 19

Having thoughts of you
I watch you dance
With slow graceful sweeps
The joy of movement
In the sweet night
Carried to me

.
Stimulating to watch.

.

In Dark Eyes

.
Somewhat surreal imagery today.

.
In Dark Eyes     -    03 Jun 19

Reflected candles
Flames flicker and dance
Images brought to transient
Fictions of life
Dreaming of somewhere
The wheel does not reach
Only heard never seen
In dark eyes

.
The images dance and confuse the mind.

.

Other Place

.
Dancing.

.
Other Place     -     25 Feb 19

And so
The dance of night
Fills my thoughts
As I enter
The other place
And take my position
In the circle of days
And dance

.
A beautiful dance in a beautiful place.

.

Sisters

.
A story of the Earth and the Moon.

.
Sisters    -    18 Jan 19

They were always together
Circling in a gentle dance
Graceful sweep
Of the tide
Echoes the dance
Together in a pirouette
The sisters around each other
Smoothly move

.
The sisters are known as Terra and Selene, they have other names as well.
