Storm and Stars

Listen to the song that sings in

clouded skies o’er a violin

of nighttime waves; beyond our ears

unheard. It’s meant for other spheres

where it glistens for the heart and

mind turning upward from the sand 

towards lightning; stars. An aria

for the eyes with soulful aura

bidding the patient seeker ask

the dark conducting skies unmask

the mysteries of light; melody

of the stars. The symphony

plays on with no hurry nor pause

to thunderous celestial applause.

Wishing Witches

Wild witches flit out this night

Whisking through moonlit willows

All ephemeral winter white  

They fly by winding wind

Dispersing twinkling wishes wide 

Winking silver in the night

Whizzing in through welcome windows

Resting on the wistful hearts within

Where wishes glow and grow

Written for dVerse.

In the Night

Even on a moonless night

When skyward turned in occhiolism

At the wideness of the dark

The greatness of the void

Stars still whisper light

Across the centuries

And hope

Electrons through the night

Occhiolism - Defined by the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows as: the awareness of the smallness of your perspective. (Click on the link and it has a whole paragraph for a definition!)

To electron - Defined by me as: To penetrate the essence of everything.

Aromas to Remember

for dVerse

Under the scent of the pines

Breathing deep

In the rain washed mountains

With snowmelt around her ankles

That’s not a little girl standing there

Though her hair is wispy

Fine and short

And her playmates whirl around her

No. Haven’t you seen a lost princess?

Running from imagined dangers

More real than the smiling grown-ups

And the smoke that lingers

From the barbeque

Perfuming the campground with hotdogs

And hamburgers

Welcoming a princess and her companions home

With the wafting sugared promise

Of marshmallows and chocolate

Under the camping stars

Star Path

far above the sky
spilled milk glows
pathway through the night

Stargazers

for dVerse
 

Far away from the city light

We look upward to darkened skies

With stars spread out like butterflies

Where the half rind moon shines most bright

We two gaze at the starry maze

Tracing ancient myths through the night

Wonder reflected in our eyes

Escaped for now from the city light
