Travelers


A million moments embark
 from distant curved corners of space
and arrive in a single instant;
yet you
can hold each one fast
 in a part of your mind
 smaller than an eyelash..

Whether Report

The uncharted whether of you is only seen by the signal lanterns you hoist up the tallest mast.

marker


Landmarks
 assist your journeys
, but not your way.
 In the most silent
 untouchable
dark
you go
fearlessly.

Sliver


You sculpt your life
 out of this hard world
with the thinnest
idea chisels
and
the hammer of your
dreams.

Miracles enough


Not every bird is the Paraclete.


This one's just late for breakfast.



There will be miracles enough;

(I promise)

flying in through other windows.

The task is not to find, but be found.
 Yes.
But it helps if you wave your hands

and sing out.

Wait, wait, I know this place.

Imagine your future well enough
and
you will be in

constant state of

déjà vu.

Well, naturally


There is a instant
between every
Inhale/Exhale
in which you can swim
 to the edge of the Universe
 and back.

baby day

How you now
see this glistening
newborn baby day grown
is the lover
you will lay with
tonight.

Sure Thing


Avoid disappointment; plan for a day of surprises.
 If none come,




that will still be a surprise.

Impossible


Babies
never consider
 how impossible it is to walk
 or swim.

 While
 we
are thinking deeply,
 they


are running,
 diving,
 blowing bubbles

 as they go,

"Hey!

So, thus so

Don't be so hard on magical thinkers;
without them we
wouldn't have
half of our own ideas
about how to
bend this reality.

Tension


The stones are held down by the power of earth's gravity;
the stone, Earth,
 is held up by the power of mercy.

Hold your breath

 
Telling someone
 what it's like
 to be
 in love
 is like describing
 to a non-swimmer
 how it is
 to be
 underwater.

Candles

                                                                                                                           Candles made of the same wax and wicks
 burn brightly,

but each flame

 dances differently.

Seer


How often
you are surprised
by the outcomes
of your expectations
is a reflection of
how much
you are listening
to your life.

Stanza


Thoughts and cats switch places;
neither will come when called
:the one which yesterday
 sat in your lap,
today
stares at you from a fence
saying
"You?
Who?


Pffft"

Colors


The pastel sky is the first frame of your kaleidoscopic day.
 Turn the lens

-breathe in your creation.

Twist

Twisting ten weaknesses together
 won't make a strong rope
 but it will help
 you
 get a handle
 on them.
