Early
*
early this morning
the sun kissed
the tips of grass
like light
bulbs turned on
one at a time
to brighten the
soggy meadow

Trovar riposo
Sundays are dedicated to Italian Poetry
*
alzarsi in volo
al di sopra di tutto
dove le stelle sono
in attesa la notte per
pascolare le nuvole
blu scarmigliate
dove le preghiere
si aggirano prima
di trovar riposo
.

Questa poesia fa parte del libro bilingue California Notebooks 03 di prossima pubblicazione.

Finding Rest
*
to soar up
above all
where stars
wait on the night
to pasture blue
clouds unkempt
where prayers
roam before
finding rest
.

Behind The Full Moon
*
I could just imagine
the stars heaped up
behind the full moon
I could see them
scattered a geography
of the desert sky
some move my eyes
as across a landscape
an imagined horizon

Words

this desire
that explores the cosmos
by miniatures
by high concentration
embracing
the whole array of words

Mirror
*
there is that voice inside
that opens our eyes to
a secret mirror reflecting
our deepest nature to
our absolute beauty

Life 101 – Faith –
*
do flowers and plants
have feelings and if so
have they learned fear
yet or live their life
carefree not hunted
down by anything
but seasons of which
they have no knowledge
.

Shining Bright
*
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
.
.

This poem can be read at page 109 of the published collection California Notebooks 02.

Unpublished – Beauty
*
I’m at loss
describing beauty
a godly attribute
.
words aligned as pearls
.
to become a necklace
and I can’t find
the thread
.

Sleepy Grass
*
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
.

Random Cloud
*
that power within
and from above
I believe I am
fog that endures
with darkness
I think I have
missed the wind
on my sail
a random cloud
fair and heavy
to stay away
from everything
from you from what
I do not count anymore
and I’ve left behind
.

Risveglio
Sundays are dedicated to Italian Poetry.
*
non mi liscio i capelli
scomposti dal sonno
arruffati i pensieri non
seguo le parole altrui
i miei sogni mi tengono
vacillo tra i passi lenti

Abide
*
how little time
we take to look
around us to wonder
the light downing
on people and things
alike smaller yet
the time to look inside
where light shall abide
.
