Blossom In Presence

Posted on by
Standard

*

it is so

that every morning

I go about pressing the foot

on the same path that’s how

.

habits are formed good ones

.

I have learned in between

.

steps to make treasure of

observation new revelations

as they come blossom

.

in presence

.

This is the first poem posted in 2021 with my wish to you that you will blossom in presence in all of your beauty.

~ Also, tomorrow is my birthday and I wish to myself the good habit to be present and grateful every day that is given to me.

This poem is part of the poetry collection California Notebooks that can be bought on Amazon with a special discount.

Enjoy reading poetry, enjoy basking in its beauty, there is still much we can be grateful for…

Beauty Lingering

Posted on by

it’s an afterward
moving

this of giving poetry
a way

to talk about the beauty
lingering

unseen
sensitivity shining

bright
in our darker days

when we
think there’s little

to be seen

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep…

Posted on by

*

it is right by the side
of the road the Cathedral
In The Pines Cemetery

as if you could just roll
off the side of the road
dead and ready to lay

where there are no fences
but some more noise to
endure or is it a reminder

when the sun hides
at sunset behind red
blood colored clouds

I miei passi – Un volo oltre

Posted on by
Standard

*

se comprendo

che ripercorri

i miei passi

 .

non posso ignorare

il respiro che esce

poco alla volta

 .

trattenuto dopo

un tempo buio

separazioni

 .

boschi attraversati

sulle ginocchia

per vedere meglio

 .

il fondo che non

è mare limpido

cielo capovolto

Give Shapes To Music

Posted on by
Standard

*
my favorite occupation
has been that of
listening to silence

to give shapes
to music singing
with my hands

on top of the colors
that lay already there
to tiptoe in-love

slowing down
my responses
to evade darkness

into the beauty held
inside as the harmony
viable all around

Eyes Wide Open

Posted on by
Standard

*

.
we are here
softly abandoned

.
glaring at the shadow of
an airplane on the ground

.
one of those luminous day
where every detail is out

.
for count and thanksgiving
following a time dark as

.
the night upon which we
both struggled with

.
eyes wide open to
no avail in fear

.

The Birds Trills

Posted on by
Standard

*

just before
I breathed in I was
breathing out

I run to this
place to be with you
you seem aloof

to life or to give
anything out afraid
even to receive

I play with the birds
trills as people rush
home from work

.

My Feelings

Posted on by
Standard

*

my feelings this time

don’t want to stay on

paper or even reach it

there’s is a modesty

to them as they rise

from my aging family

I move from pangs

of anxious pain to

serenity as giving

honor to vulnerability

brought forth a new

sweetness to be

savored alone

.

Summer Poems – We Stall

Posted on by
Standard

*

we stall through August

aside the rare days

when the sky thundered

the wind hissed and shout

and we run up and down

closing windows pulling

shades and lifting chairs

the following steps

were those of picking up

the tender plants uprooted

from the garden the scattered

tomatoes and plums

august with its singing nights

.

Sleepy Grass

Posted on by

*

pensive hazel eyes
flickering around
the night where

perfumes sail to
the clouds away

from the cracking
tiny sound of bare foot
on sleepy grass

Light

Posted on by

approaching the day
with dancing
thoughts

to linger in god’s
presence
light

that stays with me
at night
and in my slumber
