A Poem Is A Meteor

"A poem is a meteor."

Wallace Stevens

Oh, separation

sirens cutting the matterless night.

This Loneliness 

caring stillness
the hardness, the loss
sorrow, continuing.

Broken dreams

deeper than death
falling
cracking
dissolving

tenderness to pain.

what matters, dear one? 
Intimacy,
the unmasked smile,
the moreness of this moment,
our honest connection. 
shared goodness,
no masked smile.

Day of the Sun

Happy Earth Day.

"The day of the sun is like the day of a king.
It is a promenade in the morning,
a sitting on the throne at noon,
a pageant in the evening."
~ Wallace Stevens

Red sun this morning! What a beautiful, wonderful world we live in. Gorgeous sunrise.

♫ Big Yellow Taxi, Joni Mitchell

Comes a Yes!

Key West, Florida

"After the final no there comes a yes,
And on that yes
the future world depends."
~ Wallace Stevens
