Sahara Wanderings

Toss away your sandals

To ascend you must feel one with the dune

Inhale this silence

At crest gaze into ripple

Winds carry prints of those before you

Into the ether

Mind your time in its passing

Golden sands swallow sun so soon

Venus guides you

Descend with your shadow

Drift your memory to the other side

Full moon rising

Doors of Song and Wonder

I heard you singing a song whose melody spoke to me

Sunlight upon your door beckoned to move closer in

I heard your voice fall and rise in a language unfamiliar

Echoing distant quiet longing

Who were you then

Where are you now

Hesitation leaves opportunity unresolved

Are you singing still

Is the song the same

Wonder is the gift you gave me
