I bow to you winter moon mosaic
that all stars
in heavenly darkness lay their heads to rest
another rising sun
wraps her dreamy arms around our land
from ho-hum to wow
for a moment I considered getting my groove back
your hand moves like sweet molasses
Beloved Nomad Ji
you rock
my
soul

I hear winter rain falling as wild mountain roses
it’s you hiding behind the moon
if you stay away my heart will turn into shards of glass
look, red shouldered hawk is perched in his monastery
praying to rising sun as I to you
Beloved opiate of my soul
come to me
play your divine lyre
I wait for you
in the quiet elegance of night

Twilight makes the flow of river geisha like; eager to please, an intimate exchange between the setting sun and fireflies dancing along the riverbank. The first rustle of wind that pierces my heart. Oh weaver, you disguise yourself as the evening breeze

this foggy winter morning I hear a 3-string quartet
of aged priests playing the cello to “Baby it’s cold outside”
and wonder if it’s you ….. is it? or a bullfrog croaking
the same old tune of moon turned cartwheels on a hot summer day, I could not be more awed than just now placing my shoe inside your footprint that leads me back to you
Oh Weaver Ji, I wait for you under the sweetheart tree

Who is the God of the Thrush?
Who do you turn to little bird ….look up

in silence mist falls gently upon the great treetops
Oh Weaver, you wrap your dreamy arms around all who live under your umbrella
hint of sunrise with splashes of magenta and gold
across early horizon, air pregnant with expectation
giant oaks cradled in the alpha heart unashamed in their nakedness.
early this morning I watched seven wild turkeys
cross a grassy knoll, their footprints in winter syncopation
against a snowy quilt
you braid secrets into their autumn breasts
these foragers of winter acorns
once obtained off they go doing their winter rumba
at other places, other knolls
this makes you belly laugh
you like to make angels in the snow
