Dance Circles

in this Great Circle
some move with us in the Round Dance
we touch fingers, faces, smiles

others we have loved
dance on in the West and 
hold the place where we will join them
                                   

                                 - for Marilyn

empty

there’s nowhere in space
that’s empty
because you left
and no time that
stands still waiting
while you ran an errand
or went to visit friends
nothing looks different
but every thing
and there is no space
where once you were
but every where

Epiphany

Luke 2:9  “and the glory of the Lord shone round about them”

it’s imperceptible to traffic on the freeway, and
where loudspeakers herd throngs of humanity, and
where gunshots echo on foreign deserts and in rice paddies
and through treacherous mountain passes, and
where slaughtered buffalo lie rotting on Sacred ground

Mark 1:35  “in the morning while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place 
and there he prayed”

apart in the darkness
the Light reveals
my voice silenced
listening
praising with ten thousand tears

Luke 2:20  “the shepherds returned glorifying God for all they had seen and heard”

out of the silence
the Source compels the praise
draws it forth
in celestial harmony
quivering like a bowstring
baptizing the mundane
resounding forever
through this jar of clay

One Hand

in the beginning
it was written by One Hand
Who writes the distance of the stars
the song of the whale
the beating of all hearts

Who shrouds the meanings 
in fog
in snowflakes
in the grain of sand
in the spider and the web

Who waits hidden inside
mountains
in the fire 
in the silent breath of earth

in the instant of recognition

new year resolution

fourth day of the new year
the twinkle of the midnight stars, 
confetti from heaven,
ablaze on new year's eve, 
is being washed away 
steadily

the wetness seeps into 
all the lofty resolutions 
making retreat and hibernation
appear to be
the better choice
