As A Child Sweeping Cielings

I sweetly scrapped and grappled
As a tender sleepless shoot,
At rest only
When the silver bullet dreams
Would catch upon a tooth.
I would chew right through to bone
Lapping at the marrow-
Alone with my fists of fire and
All my golden arrows.

To wear the wolves
In whispered dawn
With wisdom from
The dark ride long.
I went to hide with dancing swords,
My hands at play with song.

What carriage!
What roads!
We rosebud children,
We shining ghosts
Know better of
The end's reflection
For we were sent
To hold it close
With mirrors of affection.

Holding Long The Summer Night

The soft blue lights are breaking as
I am with the last few stars of morning waking.
To slip into some tiny dream which
Whispers with the flowing stream and
Tells the walnut hearts that every branch is shaking.

Slipped in Midnight

Those who go hunting
For their happiness in night,
Drawn through each desire
Like the sharpening of knives.
The echoes in the streets and
Youth with all its teeth,
Silently above-
A white owl flies.

Late In Twilights Loosing

Summer is putting on its
Warm fire of a dress,
Pulling me from the rich deep earth
Where I've been searched in prayer and
Tucked as guest.

All this secret heat revealing
Comes to meet
My songs with dreaming-
I am golds and silvers
Ushered to the furnace,
Brushed with white-winged creatures and
A flaming copper surface.
Trust me to purchase grace
For grace is all ways free-
As long as you look in the mirror and
Love the faces that you see.

Summer is coming softly,
Dressed to bare and bring.
No more space for running-
It's best you bless these sundogs
With all the days you sing.

After Yeats And Lightning Bugged

Dragons dance the sky tonight
In silver flashes winged delight.
Such tremors in the evening's ways,
With breath of wind how thunder plays.
As echo of some long lost sight
Calls to keep hearts from their graves.

Heavens now in growling waves with
Diamonds prowled in shrouded rays.
Flashes drum electric pulse,
Night convulsed in laughter.
Tears from these ethereal eyes
Send my dreams beat faster.

If I could climb this chaos,
Lost, then found in trust.
To crawl inside the tiger's mouth
And flower from the dust.
As vastness comes in form
To report eternal depth,
To be free in the unknown
In the mystery of your breath.
This storm that is your doing
Will also bring you rest
For all that comes
To shake and shimmer
Glimmers with the blessed.
