Breathing

Standard

*

it’s the stall that

makes me nervous

the space between

branches that

.

makes me breath

.

the silent wake up

calls before the

birds sing that

has me pray

.

Winter Hides

Standard

*

winter hides the green

away

no complementary

colors

even at sunsets

winter

hides but those tiny

flowers

that makes me break

into a smile

.

here and there I smile

some

light out of me shines

The Sea From Afar

Standard

*

what I miss
is the time moving
slowly creating a still
silence inside

.

watching the clouds
surf slowly and the grass
grow tall when the rain
is done

.

walking uphill
seeing the sea from
afar holding its smell
on my skin

.

my time immersed
in beauty my time
my days my habits
I hold nothing

.

Removed

Standard
*
under or above
removed from usual
grounds from valleys
to enter quieter realms
stillness and marvel
to be marginal
observing whether
with fish or birds
a new silence
lingering in
eternity

This poem is part of the collection Crossing Riviera.

By the way, in case you wish to give me some feedback based on your experience or instruction, this new Blocks Editor DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! Not sure it works for poems… even the Schedule seems more lengthy and complicated and, sorry for the past few weeks, missing the usual posting time and dates – I was experimenting with the Block Editor! Arrgh…

Eyeing The Sky

Standard

*

it’s part of nature
to wait it took me
a long time to get
it to taste the truth
of such statement

beauty of flowers

starts in the cycle
the seed growing
in darkness eyeing
the sky smiling to
the breeze falling

asleep at night so
many times until
it’s fall come in
time that is a
repeat that

is patience at his best

Intertextures – Crossing Rivieras

Standard

*

transparency
is something I
share with fish

I’m suspended
at last a gracious
moment they

stick closer if I
hold in stillness
even more come

what is there
re generation
wisdom shared

I wish I could
last forever in
salty waters

weightless

Italian Summer, Ferragosto 2015

Standard

*

mid day of August’s
mid month some echoes
of a church service

on a television where
there are very few visions
a small breeze rises

awakening me to
a tiny drip drop
a small precipitation

into myself until
an airplane breaks
the clouds in two

Not Rosaries Nor Missals – Stillness And Dances, 2016

Standard

*

I satisfy myself
in circles of light
stillness and dances

it’s the music
within that slows
us down and we

wonder and return
to these lovely
planes

a step or two
to understanding
the sound

silence broken
by golden lights
we curl up

we are being
picked up

Stillness From The California Notebooks

Standard

*

we sit in the sun today
still as the mountains me
and the cat by the pool

he has this strange habit
drinking the blue
water smelling of chlorine

I have the one of constantly
thinking – observing
while moving words around

we both had our fills
as we sit
immobile shedding sleep
