gentle the day

in only

in seconds out and burst

often noticed quite alert

this unquenchable thirst

in sight

glass wrinkled 

reflection of image

refraction the direction

little noticed is age

ever present

a touch

sweet is the sun

warm and smooth a breeze

living to unfurl and run

along singing lines

so invisible

then the day begins

strong comes the wind

up meets the bride

mists and whispers

firmly standing

in the rolling embrace

rapture imbued and eyes closed

spraying kisses

making moist clothing

and the feel

wheeling each turn and digging

'til soft is the winds roar

gentle as a rose

pounding its own rhythm

music mine alone 

 the sail plays

a lullaby

'til the vibration stays

my soul

the onion

ONION

a simplicity a complexity

and in that complication

and the onion that is us

a simplicity a complexity

a mirror with two faces

all could be the reflections

all are the same

a mirror that is us.

a complication a one

all the onion that is the layers

all the layers once separated

apart a complication

a shape similar 

all part and unique 

all curves and edges 

all now separates of itself.

apart not whole

that is us

a simplicity

a complexity.

INSIDE OUT

INSIDE OUT

#poetry #meditation #thinking #writing #thought

There is at night the coolness 

there is at night the dark 

for there is at night little else.

Under the cover of the dark

at the edge of what we feel before we see, 

surrounded by the cool, silky air.

Touched by the very dark we experience- but cannot see

held by that very still experience that has inside us

what we are inside it.

The need for the open darkness

 to make cool the heated emotions.

The need for cool air to make dark the emptiness

 so that it cannot be seen.

And then we can just have a breath of calm

 that allows for tomorrow.

The tomorrow that is of each new moment.

NOVEMBER

 1

solice before solstice

November and autumn chill

breeze is now cold wind

 2

fair sky and dry eye

different in summer and fall

hallow is the winter

 3

new season finds auld

upon its arrival cold

shines still the sun's smile

 4

follow night we feel

and follow day should now know

severed known from felt

 5

close approaches solstice

solice is farther, colder now

waiting, felt knowing

 6

different in summer and fall

eye waters in cold felling

when knowledge does end

 7

auld season fells new

arrival knows the missing known

fall breeze is the felt

 8

chill can be the known

different in summer and fall

hallow is the winter

rain

PublicFriendsOnly MeCustomClose FriendsFamilyGo Back

"Rain" 2004 Al Mendoza

what fun there is

when light appears

and drops becomes

blots with lots

of nothing to see.

and knowing rainbow hope

still into the rain we look

finding glimmers in the movement

within the storm watching none move

still are they who see.

moving waters

cascading shimmers

settle anywhere that welcomes

no beckoning required

filling to overflow, everything open

to rain.
