To the ‘Loners’
Take heart.
Everywhere, there are people
Whose souls are mirrors
Of your own.
Sing your songs.
And listen for the melodies that are
All around you.
 
 

Incense
Gray silken scarf,
Dancing and wavering,
Your fragile beauty
Penetrates the air
And intoxicates my soul.
 
 

On the Inside
Petals from the flower
Fall into the water like tears
Swirling into a pattern
Patterns are all inside my mind
Kaleidoscope colors in swirls of iridescent wonder
Fingers of mist probe my eyes and
And draw me towards the rainbow
I exist to find my way
Through the rainbow
The other side lies like
A pool of melted silver
No, I am not of this world
That is my world.
Perfumed thoughts float
In the ionosphere
And flutter with a flap of white wings
Into the dove of freedom
Behind the shadows of my eyes.
 

Nature
The leaves fall from the trees like tears
Gentle hands of rain caress my face
It cleanses, renews, purifies
And restores life to all.
Nature is the only true beauty
It is the only thing that is completely innocent.
 

A Moment
I close my eyes for a moment
And then the moment's gone
The empty air eludes my grasp
There are so many things
I can't hold on to
They only fly away
The moments slip through
My fingers so fast
There's nothing to hold on to
Not even the love, nor pain, nor hate
I felt so long ago
Everything is trivial.
