Slipping Through

Static-muffled words
Shared in bits and bytes
Fed through cables
I plug in and check out
Stuff a moment in a pocket
Wait for time to pull it out
Watch it slip through my fingers

Wild Yang ~ Word Offering

wild yang to my yin
seeded from these mother bones
mirror to the world
reflecting blue notes and pain
he walks the path less traveled

we begged him to stay-
within that small shell it blazed
teaching from first breath
even then he walked the line
between innocent and wise

gypsy feet stand still
while the world spins and dances
to a mad rhythm
I no longer need to run
when the wind urges me forth

Sidestepping

Humbly I sidestep
To get out of my own way-
Clouds part for the sun

Dreams - Word Offering

In my dreams I see
A tree to hold all wishes
On a mountaintop
With these legs I'd scale the peak
Just to sit and hear it speak
