Far from the sea

how I long to hear

her soothing voice

calling me

her salty breath

enveloping me

her sandy shores

inviting me

small foamy waves

tasting me

her endless horizon

freeing me

my soul soars

with the gulls

above me

Luna sails above

trailing roseate

veils in her wake

hurrying home

before the sun

finds her lingering

Huge wings dissect a silvered sky
dark shadow flies~a flash of white
flares briefly~could it be again
our Eagle of that early spring
~
Eagle eyes survey the land
reclaiming this~their old domain
Queen or King we do not know
their regal profiles look the same
~
They did not raise a brood this year
our summer was too hot and cruel
their nest aloft an old dead tree
no shady leaves to keep them cool
~
Joyfully we greet this sight
regal bird seen first in flight
perched now in a barren tree
our blessing this day to see

Dusky stars~circle of three
this magick floral trinity
herald blessings all around
dearest wishes heaven bound
sharing blessing with thee and thee
off they go~so mote it be

~
Blustery gales are now about
fallen leaves they twist and shout
landing here and swirling there
spreading color through the air
~
We now find them everywhere
sometimes even in our hair
suddenly my words~they rhyme
dancing merrily~keeping time
~
Feeling the rhythm~dancing along
swirling~skirling~singing a song
savoring the blessings of the season
do I really need a reason???

Angels reach out

Bert the frog
dances a mad jig
does somersaults~flips
are these his death throws
is he having an epileptic fit
standing witness~helpless
concerned~yet mesmerized
suddenly the miracle happens
he's not suffering at all
he's dancing a dance of renewal
a dance of personal growth
slowly a veil forms around him
he frantically gyrates~faster
 his feet jiggle and wiggle
pulling at the ectoplasm veil
now shrouding his head
after one last tiring effort
done~he's standing tall
Fred Astaire like
he's got the moves
Bert the frog
sports new togs
