'and then one day'

and then one day

you saw through

the drizzle,the fog-

bound gloom

and what you knew

as huge gray

boulders,unleashed

from the towering

mountain and

pounding down

towards us on

this narrow

path

were really

thousands

of iridescent

hummingbirds

in wild play,

thriving

together  

and falling

deeper

in love with

the sun's

 

sparkling

warmth.

love's murky ambience

'for Heidi'

your hair is natural and good

in its beautiful brevity

like the pine comb nestled

above me in a green tree,

it's soft brown intricate surface

beckons me and covers many

seeds of new life ready to sail

aloft on a fresh breeze on a bright

and mild day, then when tiring from

its airborne adventure, in a gesture

of infinite trust, she drops down onto

mother earth to sprout in living soil

and to be birthed as a proud

and strong welcoming tree, 

evergreen

evergood

everhere.

'apple'

So much of this life

is an apple fat and crisp

crimson, sweet delicious

juice coats the purest

pink of your hungry tongue 

then pierces my blazing eyes.
