RIPPLING MOONBEAMS on 23




Rippling Moonbeams on 23

In the still of the night
when only the moon 
feels the wind whispering,
and ancient Hades sleeps,
I think of you.

In the still of the night
when tears are raindrops
of forgotten love,
falling down cherubs'
corroding cheeks;
silence shivers in
a blanket of dark, 
Eris soft memories,
leaves return by curling in.
Tree trunks reach and  
rub together,
sending screams out
to the still of the night;
I think of you and lay to rest
my core to the root
of our earth.

In the strike of the night,
I call upon the 
resurrection of the sun
at 5 a.m.,
the hue of blood rises, 
a red river of temperance
folds her arms across
my prostrate back,
purifies me,
and anoints the break of day.

AWE ENCOMPASSING


Awe Encompassing

My mango sunrise,
a mantra of warmth
leaves striations of
wisdom through the
window of my heart.

Your divinity fades into
the past calamity,
waxing with the sun.
My knees find
the scrape of concrete,
my breath-- the need to breathe.
My heart, the force of light,
lost to the depth of the ocean,
my faith is the now waning as
the questions fall over me.

Embracing the fallen mortar,
mending  the mortal cracks--
my humble prayers
drive
my hands to form a finger sail--
a steeple upon my chest.

Visions
pulsing with
oracles wind, acumen
parts the sternum of my breath,
ribs traverse my erect posture,   
binding the cross of my path.
I am blessed by you;
I give you my happiness,
for I am the endless one
enlightening the
morning’s humbleness.

My wings have taken new flight,
mothering the feathers
of transformation,
inspired sublimity and awe
find the shores of faith,
and land of divinity.
