Brushing my Bed Head Morning Mind

The strings of my mind,
are a tangled mess.
Complicated, irritated,
unsettled, unrest.

Each thought travels its windy way,
on roundabouts and hurricanes.
Knotted bows, knitted tights.
fuss and fluff and fleeting fights.

Come and smooth my thorny thoughts,
with your speckled wide-tooth comb.
 Calm me to my balmy bones.

Each string in linear pairs,
harmonizing together.
Strummed by the hand of God.
Humming with pleasure.

I'll trade my Spaghetti
for
Guitar Strings

Winds of Change

This Febuary has brought strange, warm, foggy weather. This evening, a wind blew in the door that sent shivers down my spine.


Close your eyes and smell the wind,
in the dark the stars descend.


The flattened clouds go racing by,
on the shadowed, navy-sky.
And the mellow, yellow, moon,
...is an unblinking eye


It's almost real tonight,
I can taste the sigh.
Standing on the brink at last,
looking through the flowing glass.


One day, the whisper will be a Shout!
sudden, without warning.
First star on the right and
Straight on till morning.

My Ocean and Me


Clean lines,
Blowing sand.
I love the way
you stand

Washed clean,
in the salty sea
Wild and solid
Warm and free

Bleached by the Sun,
wonderful one...
Your eyes are dragon-green
-glittering-


Let's lie forever,
and soak up the light,
You, me and the
goldfish

You can build the fire,
embers glowing deep
And I will sing
 you
to
Sleep
