LOSE

LOSE

because you don’t live there anymore

you lose nothing

in the moment of creation there's change

when the music has played there’s silence

when the breeze passes there’s stillness

in the laughter

and in plain sight

while the love makers touch

creation matters not

silence is the music

stillness becomes the breeze

to play at laughter

and lose nothing

when moment is creation

there in the play is change

because you don’t live there anymore

you walk and lose nothing

WINTER SOLSTICE

Winter solstice

in the bright sunlight and the clear desert sky

with no clouds for the sky to paint

save for the water coloring on the mountains

as the sun flows across the landscape

shadowing the cactus making spots

and the leopard that runs across the sands

towards the snow peaks towards the glow

and disappears in light

a brightness running to cover

and blanket twilight with music lights

stars patient in their watch for the moon

stars moving in that slow dance

that feels like love

UNSEEN

The 2 Not 1

unseen

to believe the lies

and not see the lies that are

a conviction by convention

no longer and no shorter

than desire

that want unseen

as it presents loudly enough

the present

a conviction by belief

no longer by desire

like a coin

two sides

and an edge

flip it and catch

open and reveal

everything but the edge

that thing that cuts

loudly it presents

no longer no shorter

a lie of desire

and an unseen self
