When A Leaf Falls

When A Leaf falls

When a leaf falls

A volition has ended,

The will to hold

Is lost

Of another purpose.

The death of a leaf,
The golden blaze of endings;
A return down the primordial pathway--
Something becoming nothing
As nothing once became everything.

I Sometimes Remember

I Sometimes Remember

I sometimes remember

A moment past
When rainbows ringed the looking glass...
A place in time
Wrapped with memories
Of fire chants and dancing shadows
Upon a moonlit sand,
When secret yearnings touched
Through holded hands
And our dreams we thought were dawning...

Memories of moments gone

Fill no more space

Than dreams of moments

That never came;

Both endure the passing days

But never ease the sorrow
Of the splendor that never stays.

Dreaming Down

 When under the circumstances of living

Cutting winds of gray and cold

Rifle through and true my dreaming down,

To hopeful thoughts I turn

Where maybe when the world goes 'round

A dream forsaken
May once again be found.

Happiness

Happiness

Does happiness just happen,

Something you catch like a cold?

Or is it chosen,

An attitude or circumstance decided,

Like a flower you place in a glass

To color the moments that pass?

Is it a state that develops,

A pleasure that occurs

Instead of a pain,

An imagining in the mind

That's really not there?

Is it a possession acquired,
A capacity possessed
Like an ear for a sound?
Is it a distant sail upon a silver sea
That passes too fast,

A rainbow dream
That cannot last,
A hidden smile
That's now unveiled?

Could There Be?

Could There Be?

Could there be another me,

A living presence in another world

Just like me,

A reflection universe with replicas

Of what is here?

I would not escape my wondering

For all the gods declared,

No solaces divine can compare

To the freedom of my mind.

For it wasn't with the wheel formed

Or fire made,

Nor when grunts became a knowing sound

That Man first touched the sky,

But when his searching mind

First wondered why...

I want no easy answers,
Only mysteries placed before my eye,
That I may ever wonder why.

What a world this is!
Rainbows and waterfalls,

Songbirds and butterflies...

And a little girl's eyes.

I would be master

Of my fate,

But I find no helm to till,

No rudder, no mast,

No mooring line to cast.
