The fog moves on...

The fog moves on...
Carl Sandburg
To understand any living thing, you must, so to say, creep within and feel the beating of its heart.
~ William (W.) MacNeile Dixon
from The Human Situation: The Gifford lectures delivered in the University of Glasgow, 1935-1937 (1937).

fanned beauty...

fanned beauty
sprinkled with tiny jewels
a dove
bathing 
in new rain

sometimes it's a struggle...

somtimes it's a struggle
to keep the Spring music
playing
and to drive
wintry blues
from the door

the strong winds and rains...

the strong winds and rains
outside
today
gave me the chance
to discover
to journey
to love
old photos
from yesterday
inside

birthdays slip by now...

birthdays slip by now
no cake or candles
it's a time to be
and do
something different
and treasure butterflies 
on sunflowers

Australian farms...

Australian farms
are overcast
for Australians

but shine as
someone else's
promised land

is this a seasonal phenomenon
or
a political lifetime

when the earthly heart feels wounded...

when the earthly heart feels wounded
crushed by cruel words
somewhere
there are wings
enfolding
the higher self
with wonder


NOTE
This is a reference to a magical connection yesterday
found in a time of need
HERE

even when Spring is grey...

even when Spring is grey
and cold rain lashes the blossoms
there is still a warm window
to watch the birds
seek
their Spring nest

it is late...

it is late
life is still
just me and
the rush and roll of the waves
remind me
it is late

I cannot tell him...

I cannot tell him 
the truths he spins
are cloudy
many threads
are frayed 
broken
