Database of Dreams . . .


  
















The rawness of the heart,
an intrepid explorer,
reaches beyond the expected
where everything is reflected
within the misty lines
of distance
and the mighty
beat of drums . . .
where hearts gather
to tell the tales of love . . 
and hurt . . 
The fall of the day
glows through the embers
          of passion
and imagination rears,
on a winged horse,
dancing on the rays
                   of brilliant stars
lines and lines and lines
          as far as eternity. . .
shining, gathering
the dreams of gods
and oceans
birds and mountains
butterflies and trees
dreams within dreams
burnishing cycles of patterns . . .
each dream a fire burning,
each heart-ache engraved in a moment,
reverberations within the song of existence . . .
a crystal bell tinkles in the distant
rain drops glisten . . .
a dream is lifted . . .
this speck . ..  this thing . . .
is placed within the all . . 
the evermore . .  eternal all . .

What Rare . . .



Along the Lot River, France near Cahors (Summer, 2012)



what rare
beyond the flow
of wayward breezes
come
the sparkling sheets
of forgiveness
dance on bending branches
what dream
beneath the roots
of awakening . . .
the sun burns holes
through memories
and hope . . 
what weight
through crystal colors
of time
depend on vision
to entice away the
lingering butterfly . .. 
what shattering
the engine 
of discovery . . .
and somewhere the breath
of happiness 
becomes
a headstrong wind . . .
