I Knock at Your Door

I knock at your door
Have you heard me?
In certain recent days
My dreams know your presence.
I've seen your eyes looking
And I wish to know your thinking.
I knock at your door
Do you know me?

I listen to your voice
Soft and gentle.

He found the answers in a book
And knew their truth
From the environment’s look.

The rules and the mysteries
Secrets all,
But plain as day the truth did call.

In centuries past he suffered most
From lack of knowledge,
Became a ghost.

One Day

One day
Like a beautiful sunrise,
You came into my life.

A new beginning
Full of promise,
And you took me by surprise
With a gentle warmth
That glowed,
And filled the entire day with...

History Speaks

It was a land of vast spaces
And wide, open skies.
Tribes of that region could hear its

  sweet song.
When wanderers came from lands

  far away
They knew this land had great

  power.

The natives had rapport with this

Phantom Moon

New day under way.
Warm morning sun
Still low in the sky,
Having just lifted its head

  from the horizon.

Phantom moon,
A spirit of the night
Suddenly bound
In early morning sunshine
Floats faintly above,
Faded and pale.
A phantom...

Failure

Platitudes and empty reassurances
Are a poor substitute
For hopes unfulfilled.

An ill-chosen faulty foundation
And the entire edifice crumbles.

My own foolishness slaps my face
And the universe...

Sparkles

Sparkles.
Tiny little sparkles;
Some of them dark
Some of them light,
Wink and shimmer
Forming a view
Developing sights.
Painting a picture
Those sparkles of...

Full Moon of a Tropical Summer Night

The soft honey glow emanated
Around a brilliant mottled sphere
Framed by a delicate archipelago of clouds
Fading into the charcoal gray evening sky
And sandbar ripples clouds
From a tropical ocean at low...

While the City Sleeps

A pause in the action,
The game is over for the day.
The bankers, businessmen and secretaries
Have all gone home
Their toys all put away.

While the lawyers rest
And the city sleeps
One man searches, thinking,
"Is this all there is?"

Creation

The reality of the world
Molded to fit our design
Conforming to our decisions
Changing over time.

The reality of the day
Flowing as we work
Swiftly making changes
Passing as we play.

Another place another friend
Hours pass, but we say...

How Well?

How well do you care for your people?
How well do you care for your world?
Are your own strength and needs
Supported so well
That it helps those about whom you care?

Tend to yourself in adequate way
Be strong and able to fend
To help all...

Companions

A friendship so dear.
Two individuals
Yet, one heart one mind.
Such is their admiration
And caring for one another.

Each knowing the other
As part of own self
Eagerly unveiling
The adventures
To share along the...

A Glimpse of Eternity

Another place
Another time
They knew each other.
Memories shared but now obscured
A nagging something dimly ringing true.

Aren't you someone I knew once?
Didn't we share our lives
Say someday we'd meet again?
And be together
Another place...

One Day on a Hilltop

I stood on a hilltop
The sky stretched out forever
All the land surrounds me
And stretches to the sea.
Golden sun did shine
And multi-colored rainbows;
Not a cloud to darken there,
All of this was...

Warriors They Surely Are

They are warriors
But they use not swords;
They know their weapons
Be concepts and words.

When a race and society tumbles
And the organized structure crumbles
They stand ready to fight
To turn back the night
In which many a being...
