Innocence

day EIGHTY THREE

Busking in sunlight

Music for money and joy

Apples grow on trees

day EIGHTY TWO

SHE WEEPS

Where has he gone

when will he come home

doesn't he know I'm waiting

doesn't he know I care?

I long so to be held

to be in someone's arms

I want to be kissed

I need to be missed

Won't someone speak my name?

day EIGHTY ONE

At world's end only love remains

day EIGHTY

I love you Smokey Joe!

day SEVENTY NINE

She's mine and I'm her's

Cookies come from the cutter

A swan on the lake.

Sun sends Moon away

It is my time now, he says

rivers run downhill

day SEVENTY SEVEN

NIGHT PASSAGE

To lee shore we sail

by instinct not star

no moon shines our path

nor makes us with shadow

The cargo's the thing

we mean to make port

nigh shoals nor shallows

deny us our mooring

Crossing to warning

no fiddlers say we

a dunsel's repair

gets us to bottom

D's locker we seek

the ropes at the bitts

leeway she blows

and windfall prevails.

 

day SEVENTY SIX

I stand on the edge
where tides meet the sea
while gulls sail aloft
and speak with the wind

The land knows my name
it calls me to see
through all of my souls
the voice of her tears

We dance in the sky
our fervent to be
upon naked truth
and moribund wrath

She passes, she's gone
the blade takes its fee
no more will it pause
for death and for grace.

day SEVENTY FIVE

A minstrel croons his chanty tunes

audience swoons under leafless poons

lonely loons and starless moons 

no red ballons in afternoons

two Daniel Boones fight wild coons
assorted zoons and ghostly goons
 in misty runes on sandy dunes
 a mistrel croons his chanty tunes.

day SEVENTY FOUR

Edain, exhausted from the dance, bid Alill to leave, but the King would not be sent away. In all the land there were none more beutiful than she and his eyes never tired of gazing on her. He alone ruled the Emerald Isle, and yet he awaited her next glance as would a fortuneless suitor presenting to a Queen. She longed to be near him, to forever be with him, but until ...

day SIXTY NINE

everything has to eat ...

day SIXTY EIGHT

A gate touches sky

Long does time flow outward thus

Flowers bloom in sun 

day SIXTY SEVEN

At that moment they knew ...

words were not needed

a touch

a glance

a sound

or no sound at all

these would be their language

where once stood two

one

day SIXTY SIX

Was ever the world

such a wonderous place

as whence we saw

through child's eyes?

day SIXTY FIVE

As a style, Amish beachware never really caught on.

day SIXTY FOUR

"I'm not going up there!"

day SIXTY THREE

"Made it Ma! Top of the world!"

day SIXTY TWO

What lay within

this outer shell

that knows itself

as others do.

What faceless one

sees out from in

sits down and out

for wonders sake.

What courage takes

the place of fear

that men stand fast

as death draws near.

When last we know

not what we do

what narrow place

holds space for us.

day SIXTY ONE

NOTICE

Corporate policy has previously been discussed and no doubt remains that will question the voracity of the policy. Nor does the policy in any way conflict with the policy itself, aka, the aformentioned policy, and though no formal questioning has taken place, and though generally it is understood and accepted by one and all, in so much as the policy is concerned, there is no disagreement that the policy will not be followed or vigorously enforced.

"This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship..."
