Reaching promise
Snow snapped,
Branches splayed

I am awed by your presence,
By the things that you do--
I am awed by your absence,
Left with the sense of you.

Crystal
Facets my love
Sparkling as time of day
Shifts colors to sing tones of life
Collected and dispersed on the instant
Your heart needs to know how I care
To share all radiance
With your own . . .

"Crystal clear" repeats in my mind,
Your lenses, crystal clear--
Twin orbs of blue, polished by tears
Of your lovely making
To tease my heart to plead for you
To spend eternity
With . . .

North Wind Foe
Caps of foaming white,
Icy blue Pacific waves
Run south with the wind
To break on decks and sailors
Who ply ships to all ports north

Twenty pigeons pecked
Leaves piled for winter's compost,
Yellow beaks bobbing
With hope for a wormy meal
You knew lay squirming beneath

Passage
Caused by yearning
Births a restless journey
About the globe in sea salt moved
Suspended and transmuted for the ride
On swells of moon and sun brought tides
To kiss a shore and stay
For . . .

Speckled
Egg in pressed grass
Chills while a far killdeer
Cries and laments for a safe-hatched
blue egg

Mismatched
Anything jars
The senses, one-or-all,
For its distinct competition
With its neighbor's at-odds virtues as fair--
For instance, fine male hosiery
By nature formal wear,
Plucked . . .

Rainbow shades of vibrant hue
Blend in streaming flows of tears
Trees so dear I close sore eyes
To hear rustling, windy cheer
Scents are but a memory
Numbed by pollen wafting by

Eyes peer to know
What awaits me
On this brisk day
Pitching in seas
Capped by white spume--
Wickedly flicked
As briny spray
Past a proud bow
Risen and smug,
Into my face
For fine effect. . . .

Dizzy
My heart
Spoke to my head
Too fast to understand
Everything I needed to hear
About you

Lull
No chill
On the prairie,
Dead and awaiting white,
No wind to strip the illusion
Of calm

Listen to the night while your other senses rest . . .
A Strain (Tanka)
Starlit symphony,
Crystal clear orchestration
Of life after dark--
Wood nymphs breathe . . .

Perspiration drips
From a face finished with work;
Emotionless eyes
Brighten at her blithe spirit--
Joy in a three year old's jump!

Bullfight
Crimson
Cape of flutter
In devious pursuit
That obscures a penetrating
Demise

Natural Bluster
Gales, fitful wind spits,
Billows of icy air howl,
Flail tormented trees.

Yearning
Whither wand'rest I
Save by the heaving sea
I dream of salt
And roaring surf
And there I long to be

Intricate Voyage
I seek my friends now
In the labyrinths of fine thought
And discover them
Steaming by clear lubber lines
Home with life's treasures to share

Bouncing along with desert wind buffeting you, it's hard to know by the heat shimmers whether the road will veer from a mountain's path. Considering the road length and the splash of gas left in . . .
