drifting, insecure,
I let the ebb tide pull me
let the helmsman rest

such subtle beauty,
the taller seaweeds weave time
to this tug, that go

kick the big clouds,
the ones that fog your vision
the small are just dreams

the degrees of rage==
show them to that golden bird
on that golden bough

hard to change the past but my imagination amusingly tries

expect the black nights
to showcase the brightest stars
does God wear diamonds?

finding my own weight
among such a labyrinth,
such demon pop-ups

laughter is real sand
if you need to make a beach
to wash ashore on

woman washing hair
the slow pour over the top
the cascading waves

the sunlight got lost
it was trying to find me
old clouds detained it

The sower of seeds
spat a few bad ones my way
said t'will help my growth

The sky is apple
The July sun diving west
cotton candy clouds

if joy comes in cans
and happiness in bottles
pop a top sucker

just the morning sun
don't even dare call it love
that's for afternoons

until yesterday,
I sat on a sour tree
calling lemon--aid

cowboy with a hose,
I lasso all the flowers
which seems to please then

no covering clouds
as the moon frightfully bare
serenely passes

scratch across the sun
know that you will never know
then button your pants

silent the ranting
for a cage full of lions
once you are bitten

that sailor, this sea
drowning he awakens me
birth, death and rebirth

clouds wake up the day
peek- a -boo, sun, I see you
warm my cheeks okay?

frightened superman
saw you dance with Custer's ghost
peace be with you both

slam open love's door move him in a little more walk that walk, walk home

giving to the land
and letting it give to me
earth and earthy love

quiz-quarreling God becomes embarrassing math --he doesn't seem to add

tell the sea to fly
who's to navigate, to die?
swimming here with you

Fool up on a star dip your feet in the Milky on your Way down love

So what about me?
---planets like salt in the sea
So what about me?
---your river's so long and big
So what about me?

saw the rain begin
never broken by the wind
do you want to roar?
lion, dream your dreams
pretend to all the shadows
do you want to roar?

moon, you are a tease
you circle but rarely touch
may I drive you home?

when rain catches fire
and makes prisms in your heart
treasure the rainbows

sun on a cold chair
sitting silently for me
I am quiet too

sweet pea mania
from under a green blanket
the Petunias wink

stealing big roses
from life's small thorny bushes?
good! flower power!

so lonesome the sea
yet embroidering each wave
with such filagree
