earth

I abandoned my bed last night
To make my mark on the Earth
Imprinting my body against the grass
Feeling The Force of the distant Suns

I spun with the planet last night
To feel the swing of the universe
Understanding the continual reach for eternity
Feeling so temporary from the Heavens

I saw a fleeting star last night
To love my insignificant worth
Witnessing an immense energy
Feeling like an outsider looking in

I held your hand last night
To appear stronger than I was
Sharing what energy I could
Feeling the Sun then about to rise

I gave you all my power last night
To give you a better Life
Deteriorating into the Dust of the Earth
Feeling like a dying star

I exploded to my death last night
To be buried in a Black Hole
Adjusting into a new life form
Feeling my energy unable to expire

Mysteriously

Mysteriously
At dusk, the unlit road curves
Into deeper night.

Over the dark road
There are stars to point the way,
All shining like love.

As I was out walking one evening in deep twilight, the unlighted road led me westward at first but gradually curved toward the north—a direction that has always filled me with excitement, sometimes tinged with fear.  The growing darkness tended to build fear; but as darkness deepened even more, the Big Dipper’s guidestars came out, like friends, to show the way.

The night the comets
begin to hit Jupiter
I realize how many
beings graciously
join to anchor me
in this form.
The lift of my hand
in a conversation
reveals the gestures
of countless others
hidden within, life
gesturing, gossiping
about itself, to itself
over cups of tea
in a circle of light
that is all center
and no periphery.

This moment, then:
arms on the table,
the hum of the fan,
too late to be up
but how to stop
unwrapping the gift
when it keeps
hurtling into itself
from itself
like this?
