Small


We are small,
smaller than a grain of sand
in a wide universe of
light and dark
stretching out beyond
the limits of time
where time is not
more or less than
a single breath,
unending

We are small,
smaller than a passing thought
in the deep mind of
light and dark
stretching out beyond
the fabric of dreams
where life is not
more or less than
one heartbeat,
echoing

Water Falling


I dream of places
I've never been
places odd
yet familiar in some
deep part of me
resonating chords
to other times
other worlds
other Me s

water falls from
empty woods
in to a purple sea
while I spin in
the marble ballroom
a perfect waltz
silk, taffeta,
and gems
(floating)

I know this place
though I have only
danced
it in dreams
strange music
echoes in
vine covered
walls along memory's
passages
(fading)

far away notes
vanish
like smoke
curling silently
towards the dawn

The Grove

Ancient
kings
stand in
quiet
majesty
(listening)
sunlight
in golden
ladders
marks a
slanted
path
to heaven's
gate
The soft
ground below
a royal carpet
of ferns
and clover
and vines
In this kingdom
of old saints
there is
truth
if
you
listen
