The Master

I would be master
Of my fate,
But I find no helm to till,
No rudder, no mast,
No mooring line to cast.

A Secret Sculptor
A Secret Sculptor

A secret sculptor
Dwells within the sea
Far beyond the foaming waves,
Far beyond the foaming waves,
Who nightly fashions
Finely forms of stone and wood,
Salvaged from their salty graves
Salvaged from their salty graves
To place upon the sea washed sand...
A gift for mourning strollers by the sea

Leave a modest mark upon the stone
That Time will on its own erase,
For what you mark
Upon the name of man
Is but a passer's footsteps
Made upon a changing sand.

A Path Of Sand
A Path Of Sand
Click to enlarge
The restless sea sends its claws
Against the bounding land,
Forging a battlefield
Deep in grains of fallen sand.
A billion years
The war has raged
To pave a path of sand for me
Between the silent stone and surging sea ...
Where I will soon forever be.
Where I will soon forever be.

Cosmic Gifts

I will be the one you see
Distant down
The sea swept shore
Alone amid the wonders there;
The cosmic gifts
The stars have shed
On their burning journeys

Dreaming Of Colors
Dreaming Of Colors
Click to enlarge
There is a toll that's paid
For dreaming of colors
In a world of gray;
A world
That breaks the pottery
That breaks the pottery
And hardens the clay.

Pastness
Pastness
Moments flow by
Like molecules of water
Rivering to the sea...
Is there a great sea of moments past
Where time that was remains,
A vast pool of pastness
Beyond the reach of memory,
Beyond the reach of knowing...
Where dreams that died
Still drift upon the mourning tides?
