all stillness
outside my door
stirrings invisible
to my myopia
yet I am
content in view
deep witness
to every thing
my heart holding
Time🪶
Night Hush

February 24
Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine
Courage still standing stained with sorrow
Peaceful world citizens reflect humanity
weary of destruction violence war
One moment hour day one year too long
Distant bells are ringing with your song
Spirits of the dead perpetual echo choir
They paint the future in our skies
Sow seeds of new hope in bloodless fields
Dreams of fearless children free to walk
quiet streets to peaceful galleries once more
All knowing well their song of desire
resounding in every language every mind
Why war must still be a question when
Peace flags fly our all universal answer🪶
The Grace of Trees
A most wonderful tree
spoke out to me as I wandered
around the vast tranquil lake
in the sunshine of my Tuesday birthday
She said I am a dancer
will you dance awhile with me today
What was there for me to say?🪶
Ashes
Ask the waiter for a candle
and a light
He brings a yellow stick
a blue bic
These will do
simply complex like you
I know
We watch the clock
Salut salut
Thin like your mirth whisper nature
flame in cheesecake with strawberry
The waiter smiles
thinks it’s
somebody’s birthday🪶
Nine Oh Three
Here, a room
a floor bed near a window
On, a radio
a cacophony of voices down low
A glass of red
A notebook and pen
A resting nest
An introspection
A pack of we’ll see
A lamp to illumine
A night vision
A solo tour
A hovering
A view of two tall winter trees
A crosshatch sky
An obscured moon
On the wall, a clock
An hour and minute
An absence and presence
A ritual
A candle flame
A flickering reflection
A faraway
A song sung
The CBC
Nine oh three
Nine oh three
Nine oh three
