The New Dawn


transcending time and space
i waltz into
the new dawn
like a soul possessed
under the swirling storms
i rise early
like the wandering sun
spreading the light
revealing the glittering particles
of ambition
i navigate my way between worlds
in real time
i catch
the universe next door
seeing the flowering
of love divine
i extract beauty
from the tears of desire
as the heart beats
from the depths of truth
feeling the pulse
of time
i draw the lustful angel
out of hiding
i manufacture hope
from the divine fragments of life
seizing the day

Finding the Way


i find the way to the true north
of my being; soaring like an eagle
moving like the charged particle
in the gravitational vortex of wonder

hope springs anew as i weave the new dawn
with gusto; carrying the torch of destiny
under the shadow of the past. My
feet a fragile wheel in the motion of time

lost in the colony of dreams
i discover the fundamental laws of survival, the laws
that make my day; spurring me into action
and firing my creative energy as the earth moves

i find the divine beauty of your essence
the sparkle of your gentle smile
overwhelms me, setting my world alight, as i taste
your dream in silence; feeling the love

i reach out to touch the cool face
of the lonely blossom in the
moist hour; sharing the wonderful gift of life
as love runs through my veins like the golden river of time

The Dreamtime


i sail through
the dreamtime
like
the
speck of light
immersed in solitude
finding Eve
under the rose petals
as love particles
bloom in earnest
touching
my heart at dawn
