( With a nod to Christopher C.)
Like the faint aroma of unseen roses
Like a phrase from an almost remembered love song
Peace floats just ahead of our consciousness
Waiting to be apprehended. . . .

Borne on the summer breeze,
The hoary capped dandelion seeds
Fly on their way
Filled with life, they care little
About their destination
Sustained with a knowing
Their purpose will . . .

Not all seeds germinate
Not all buds open
Not all conceptions become babies
Not all poems are read
And if they are few understood . . .

Morning's brassy sky
Heat shimmers from the pavement
Commuters swealter

The tree locusts sing
Their serenade to morning
The sun brings more heat
Crushing down on all that is
With no real relief in sight

Twin peaks, once so proud and pointed
Jutting up as if to tear the sky
Now rounded by years and circumstances
Too long has it been since I touched you
And climbed your slopes and explored the canyon . . .

The Cherry Blossoms
Some pink, some white
Bursting forth in glory
Only to be plucked by a passing wind
Covering the walkway in my garden
To be trod under foot and gone.
A constant . . .

I Wonder
In bygone days
The way of the pilgrim
Was over high mountains
Through dense forests and raging streams
Now it is through city streets
Concrete canyons
And board rooms . . .

The dry leaves swirling
In the cool Autumn breezes
Full moon shines its light
I wish we were together
Just holding one another

Small shrine by the side of the road
Overgrown with vines and brambles
Visited only by birds and squirrels
Perhaps they alone
Remember how to pray.

Like a living river life surges through the Mall
Bumping, gliding touching forming and reforming
Ever continuing on its' way

The Spirit roams free on the city streets
And country lanes, on buses and subways
In bars and hospitals and coffee houses where people hang out
Sometimes in homes and offices
But he generally avoided . . .

By the lake shore
In the shade of a great tree
A bottle of wine
A bit of cheese
A cool breeze blowing
Two people sat in silence
Enraptured in the joy
Of being in love

Capitol crime, capitol punishment
Do the crime do the time
We are full of little platitudes like that
What about the innocent who may be killed
They will tell you that the percentage is so . . .

The lovers sitting
On the river bank gazing
At the golden path
Traced by the rising full moon
Lost in wonder and rapture.

Sun on Fuji's Cone
Transmutes the frozen snowcap
Into shimmering diamonds
Floating above white clouds banks
Against the clear blue sky

The sun has set beyond the western horizon
Still showing the shafts of red and yellow and purple
That the old mountain men used to call fire in the sky
When they reflected behind the snow capped . . .

High in the mountains there is a pond
The pond is fed by a snowmelt stream
In the pond lives a fish of great age
Beside the pond there is a hut
In the hut lives a hermit also of great age
