Gifts Of Dreams And Consciousness

Gifts Of Dreams And Consciousness

This day is given again clarion'd

With all fires fanfare aloft display

Private symphony, solitarian

Such majesty illuminates the way

Bright and faint, the sheltering stars recede

To sparkle another's now falling night

A million prescient dreams to breed

Of flying free ahead of time, foresight

If there is only now, why then look up?

Anticipation a wasted effort

No knowing the future, young buttercup

Just be ready to adapt sans terror

Rejoice in the gift of complexity

Ever it edifies  humanity

tiny spiders balled

surviving the last chill nights
until summer warms

Mutant Iris

Unlike Van Gogh's Irises 

This one has the same color

As the others

The difference is not that striking

But there is something extra

Something most won't notice

Sets it apart

Changes the line forever

Mazel Tov!

Solbourne

An angel folds her wings

So falls into the dawn

To give her glowing to the day

Give all the stars to the sun

Who comes up like bright victory

Not stolen from the sky but won

Gloriously heralded
Night's dark spells undone
Luminous aurora shines
Cold shadows on the run
Endless cycles start again
In warmth and light begun
A sailing moon in rosy clouds
This day won't be outrun

beginnings  glowing
dawn of this day luminous
roseate path light

Prince of Thieves

Look out upon the world

Child

You can see why our claws grow large

Apex of the chain, no fate of lambs

The chaser, the one to charge

It takes no intelligence to stalk a plant
The cunning and patience are ours
We live by being silent death
Opportunity is never far
Take the dharma with your fangs
Remember who you are
