No Moorage


No Moorage

No home do I remember
To mark a place embarked.
I know no purpose for my passage,
Nor where my course is bound;
Only a rolling swell of moments
On a sea of endless time;
The lash of sudden gales,
A seldom sun-filled sky
And ever turning tides...
With no moorage to be found
On the boundless boundless brine.

Waiting


Waiting

As a flower
Grows from within,
The bloom a promise
In the seed,
So I have also been,
Awaiting within
The promise of me.




Weathered


Weathered

We cannot know
In a human life
The wear of eternity...
To stand a million rages,
Unmoved,
Only weathered by the task
Of forever waiting.

A Willing Heart


A Willing Heart

If I could choose
A grace or gift
It wouldn't be a clever wit, 
An evoking art
Or handsomeness,
But a willing heart...
To always find the finish
From the start.

Evening Time


Evening Time

A billion years we have come
To embrace only a day,
And already it is evening time--
The twilight's seductive passing
From moment into mystery.

Another Year


Another Year

The end of another year...
The moments pass,
Our lives change
With the lessons of time. 
Some dreams end,
Others we did not find.

The Emptiness


The Emptiness

The emptiness beckons me,
The desolation of untrod wilderness.
I want to follow
Unaware of the distance I must go
To find the edges
That bound'ry me.
