All I am
air between trees
riff before Windsong
arc beneath rainbow
transposition of keys
footprints in snow
illusion of Dreams

Hundreds come
attempting capture
a moment elusive
at centre he
alone stands
hands together
contemplating flame
eyes his camera
I dreamed last night
of flying
advancing
over clouds
a passenger
directed
but it was I
alone
there in the pilot’s seat
in full flight
control
Nightmare or reverie
Barbarians or Gentle Keepers
diligently plucking skin
from ancestor bones
bagging for
transport
carrying
Home
Solitude
neither lonely
nor alone
contemporary silencer
mantra’s focal
centre
high wire balancer
sane levels
keeper mind

Awakening in anger
heart’s rhythms speed
transgressor’s features blurred
nightmares fade powerless
when sunlit veils recede
at dawn.


I place you here
in plain view
to gaze into depths
imagine
what once your words
must have
meant
I like smart people
no apology
I like smart people
they challenge me
I wish there were more
teaching
drawing us toward
better

Trees root
I shelter
Wolves ramble
I dancer
Rivers ripple
I breathe
They are we
We are we
Life key
Unlocked
Indomitably
This dullard’s day
full of feigned intellect love
lean into the passing wind
spread your wings of regret
exhale
exhale
drift visions away
Exhale
