Dashboard Messiah

The job cut him loose

no more work they said

shattering his dreams

into tiny pieces of glass

praying  lost in his car

to a dashboard messiah

his image tarnished

searching for a new persona

under a luminous moon

casting dark shadows

quick as lightning

 picking

     up speed

          driving  down I95 South

with the wind & a prayer

radio blasting , drowning

his thoughts..need to escape

opening a door new place

warmth...pass the collection

plate...Hallelujah

he is free...

A Tear Was Wept

  

A tear was wept purity  since  the  start 
gentle  white   bell   shape  delicate  design 
spring  brings  restoration   to  anxious hearts
perpetual  light  your  spirit  does shine

in the shadow of the  earthly  valley
musical  notes   soar  ,  chimes  of the divine
singing  carefree  spirits  yearn   to   dally 
caught  momentarily ,  searching   for   signs 

guiding  new  pathways  sweet   heavenly   scent 
radiating   assurance  , blooms of  hope 
seeking  renewed  peace   and   feeling   content 
life  an  ever   changing  kaleidoscope

remembering   great   dream   grow   from   small  seeds
nurturing   love  , fulfilling  human   needs

Breathing Fresh Air..

Edward Hopper, 1922 

We meet in the city for lunch

celebrating another book deal

I look into your soulful  eyes

I need to see you..

Your eyes sparkle with delight

piano man playing soft music

I listen attentively to your words

I need to hear you..

Whispering , I've missed you

big  city has lost its glimmer

I inhale your woodsy aroma

I need to smell you..

Let us escape these city walls

drive into green countryside

I long to kiss your soft lips

I need to taste you...

Under a willow tree we meet

relinquishing all restraints

we reach for each other

we need to touch..
sensing love..

 rain  quenches thirstiness
 fill  thy  cup 

 drink 

~

 weeping  willow  moist  tears
 cry   no   more 

 peace 

~

 beyond  the  waterfall 
dreams  take   root 

 growth

~

around  the  river  bend
 current   swift 

calm

~

dancing  free  in the  rain 
spirits  soar 

 joy
