Terra and Beyond . . .

Vieled curtain beyond Bright clarity in spring green - Moonlight makes them one.
	Small glint of light Streaks across the universe; Thoughts dispel in awe.
Veil of silver hair - Clouds touched by moonlight shine Like Grandfather's eyes.
	Gentle breezes echo Secrets of the universe Through whispering leaves.
Gleaming cliffs above White pebbles beneath my feet; Thoughts of Dover linger.
	Fading sunlight glows Golden touch upon the green of earth's timeless dusk.

From the Desert . . .

Washes run dry - The brevity of spring brings A cactus blossom.
	Tall silhouettes stand Stark against the horizon; The Sahuaro remains.
Dried dust mingles Parched air consumes the desert - The monsoons waiting.
	Coyote calls In night's dark distance; His sound fades too soon.
Fresh scent of rain Glistening globes of water - The desert is fed.
	My path is wet with The now scent of rosemary - It must be raining.

The Soul . . .

Engulfing despair Reaches deep, becoming my Dark night of the soul.
	Yearning a cocoon of solitude and solace; Swirling winds comfort.
My heart torn in truth By yearning for acceptance, I lost my self/soul.
	Vines climb the terrace Pushing upwards with new growth; Renewal incarnate.
New life stirs within - A fleeting moment of joy Remembered forever.
	Persuing silence Still a chuckle escapes; My cats are grooming.
Soft fur vibrating Sound of deep contentment - A kitten purrs.
	Old wooden staircase Leather chairs and oiled banisters; Scents of long ago.
