Entrances and Exits

Morning and evensong
eternal refrains

eyes blinking open
receiving the sun
dim infinitude
closing some others

newborn miracles
swaddled in affection
memories shrouded
in forgetful dementia

tabulae rasae
Rorschaches of promise
scripts Shakespearean
fraught with sad farewells

momentous events
entrances and exits.

Our Cosmology

Slowly spinning invisibly in an incalculable void
riding on racing waves of hyperspace-time
through an infinity of reverberating silence

no above, below, sideways, surface, bottom, edge
without beginning, without end
continual creation within cosmic pandemonium

mini, micro, crypto, nano-bits are we
eternal molecules resurrecting again and again
in planetary matter, exploding stars, burgeoning universes.

Plenipotentiary Wren

Jaunty with upturned tail
costumed in warmest browns

facile ambassador
far beyond usual bounds

curiosity-driven
inveterate human watcher

negotiating daily
cross-species relationships

in woodlots, unplowed fields
cultivated habitats

easy camaraderie
with Carolina courtesy.

Transformational Moments

Waiting for a transformational poetic moment as

red-dot ladybug climbs up sheer, vertical pane
sun-burst bouquet of daffodils stuns the senses
bright, shiny blue day ushers in the equinox
tiny, crocus shoots stand against blustery winds
leafless trees hold unseen promises of green
honeybees tend to spring hive-cleaning chores
bluebirds stake nesting claim to vacant premises
spring peepers practice for their hallelujah chorus
full March-moon sheds its exotic light

now gathering up more transformational moments.
