living streams
circulate unseen
under mountains


vi

fro-licking river
  slick-licking
     stones



vii

      our world
   is only as crazy
as evergreen dreams



viii

       dewdrops
        strung
in a necklace of light



ix

sometimes life is a please
             a tease
         a sneeze

gentle, gentle now



x

  hands touching
are small miracles

         

xi

all the longing
contained in 3 syllables

"if only..."



xii

dewdrop whys
salt-wet eyes
of even the wise



xiii

every tear
is a memory

         
         
xiv

 
  windkiss
sun's caress


xv
    
our vision is
soft as water

our vision
is roundsquish
miracle

mirroring infinity



xvi

we
are the pseudopods
of God



xvii

hope

is like the morning
morning sings a song of light

ascending



xviii

miracle, all radiant

this sunrise



xix

candle
shining
love's
pure
light
softening the dancing
shadows of night



xx

halo of light

fire in the heart

love fuels the sacred flame



xxi

o the stars are softly blinking
our soft touch hello

earth-touching, we grow...

& the signature of your soul
is the language your heart speaks...



xxii

"love

            like water

                         l
between generations"




xxiii

when evening deepens its shadows
prayers soften the way
into gentle goodnight



xxiv

bough of pine
crisp winter air

all this dayshine!



xxv

steaming coffee
slow breath
stillness of hands



xxvi

wisdom of eyes
wrinkle-twinkle
heart's light



xxvii

holy the breath of life
holy the circle of light
holy the lovetracks that pattern our lives
holy the simple love of truth
holy the flowering of imagination
holy all temples of flesh
holy the wellsprings of hope
holy the healing
holy the faith that transcends belief
holy the radiance of divinity
holy the eternity of infinities
holy the Spirit that breathes our being
holy the love you live
holy each mother's arms
holy each loveheart, warm

holy the water
     sounding like pure melody...

holy...
          holy...
                    holy...



xxviii

hanging mercy of trees

grace
is a garden  green



xxix


Friend
pliantstem bending to the wind
fragrance wending
our consciousness becoming
rivers of flesh
                 of air
                         of sand
rivers of green-growth  growing
rivers flowing between our cells
winding us home to the constant sea
which is Thee
