Indolent waves waltzing to the shore
rocks
harboring shadows of sea gulls
drift wood, drifting
two children
building
sand castles
laughing
and telling stories
of imaginary
princes

a charcoal sketch-like
island
as a backdrop
the gleaming, foaming
smoothly gliding
waves
taking my
bobbing imagination
across the seas
to new frontiers
of possibility

where
life
just is
magnificent
and
where
you look into gleaming
waters
to see clear
pools springing
forth with
mighty, mighty
pathways

to heaven.

this one has no name

i am trying to
capture
this moment
because it is
like no other
it is Now
present
forever
infinite
and born of its own
genius

when it dissolves
it will emerge again
instantly
repeatedly
until the end
which in any case
is the begining

timeless time
cosmic expanse of space
collapse
and become-united
and that union is called
Now

this contraction and expansion
of the universe
keep on birthing
new
ceaseless
ring tones

i am calling it
the accordian
of eternity
it is waiting
to be picked up
and played
by you
me
one
and all

i have rambled,
wandered all over this page,
and am ready
to be present again
right Now
to capture this 
moment.

today i am drunk

The last two drops of blood red wine
I had to suck out of the bottle
held precariously
to my drunken lips
it was not just the wine
that I had drunk
or was drunk on
it was life itself
that inebrieted me

as I sat down to enjoy
the feeling
of a little too much
I had to remove
those metaphoric
spirngs from under my feet
and tuck my legs in
with my knees grazing my chin
as I hugged myself

ah, love
life
and the wisdom
of drunkeness

I am asking myself
what's so great
about life
what do you love so much

cant say,
heavens
which world do I inhabit
the earth?
Or the tentative plane between the two
underground maybe
its quite nice down there too

go.
seek and come back
high
heaven will be waiting for you
right here
on earth

god knows. Its true.
