On A Rainy Morning (Poem)
stand with outstretched arms
fill one hand with lowering grey clouds
massed at the bottom of the hill
pull the sodden darkness
with the other reach towards sunlit sky
breaking over the ridge
draw the glowing warmth
these two meet within your clasped hands
their interplay before you
one two three breaths
the empty road glistens in the rain

Within This Dream (Poem)
each flicker of a moment
each moment of a breath
each breath of a heart beat
rest
midst of ever-change
change of constant transition
transition of this to that
rest
on ground which has no ground
in time beyond time
rest
walk with kindness in illusory day

Let This Be Enough (Poem)
that one tree kept some leaves scattered through its branches
to catch that certain slant of winter light from a setting sun
making those leaves glitter so brightly golden
they dimmed nearby artificial trees in shabby comparison
that three people saw this arboreal illumination
and by this brief sight became joined in awe
connected now in common knowledge of natural glory
strangers no more but fellow residents of the same world
let me always look for these events
for they are ever present and will save me
let this be enough
let me remember to see
