quiet, so quiet
the sound of life expanding
clarity in pain
............................................
just growing pains
and I welcome it, for
there is no passion without pain
passion for life, people, music, art
seeing, accepting, learning
this makes me
who I am

I am

I am

walking in the night
all boundaries disappear
thoughts are limitless




stretching and reaching
so small, yet so infinite!
my feet leave the groud

whispering softly
dreams melt into cool shadows
the sun on my tongue

only air between
just enough for the silence
voices and my skin

I wait for release
to find rest in cool shadows
sifting through sunlight
............................................
the sun and blue sky
there is no escape from it
not surprising here in the desert
though lately, it seems, I have been
frozen by sunlight

a sharp blue sky and
red sunlight through my eyelids
quiet afternoon

on tips of branches
the last minutes of the day
caught in gold sunlight

the world gets smaller
our lives woven together
with each written word
.......................................................................

Not ready to stop writing here yet obviously.
And I am tempted to explain a little the last post...
but I will not try, except to say
the blog is cumulative.
Exploration.

to be so quiet

the sound of light dissolving
echos into night

.............................................
I am contemplating stopping this blog
I would continue to write...just not here
I would miss coming to this place
but look...see?...right there...
at the very beginning
of those first lines
that I just typed,
a closing door
to one room
it echos
empty
"I"

that door is not meant to be closed
so maybe it's time to step back
and slowly close my eyes
and let that crazy light
spin madly off
the walls

thought to words...my bones
so they will not be found here
swallowed by the void

stop for a moment
rest deep in that hidden place
let me surround you

it pours like warm rain
oblivion and smiles
looking from outside

deep inside...a calm
crazy...endless...inside-out
stars shine through my skin

indigo so clear
falling deep behind my eyes
endless resonance

a relentless wind
tenuous reality
blows in through the door

hold me and stop me
gather the stars with your teeth
galaxies entwined

no, not a haiku
just trying to be aware
of every minute...........
............................................

every movement is a prayer
every breath a reason
joy is quiet in the air
flowing with the seasons

leave me to my thoughts
nothing left to give tonight
nothing left to write

falling so quickly
our discarded impressions
tangled on the floor

..........................................
an awareness
a snapshot
moment
glimpse
breath
blink
beat
be

from a few nights ago
been very unsettled lately
............................................

last night, in my arms
darkness whispered me to sleep
weave my breath with dreams
