alchemy

the lights of heaven descended
like the cheerful promising candle 
left too long to burn
it had no place to go but
to the center 
to consume the wick


and in the darkness 
ghosts arrived
that have yet to be caught
still they infect the marrow 
and the mind 
of those innocents 
who did not recognize 
their vague presence 
but live always in their shadows


they struggle now 
to send back the ghosts 
into the netherworld
to free the future 
for innocence restored
to light a bright new candle 
and tend it prayerfully

Picture
formless


peering into the edge of the fog
images emerge disembodied
leaves on limbs without trunks
movement of distant forms
the sound of footsteps on gravel
like shadow figures from a dream
floating with ease
from the formless

a brief moment of recognition
then silently they retreat
into the void
leaving behind a vague sense
of when and where

merciful fog still
holding at bay
the why
granting solemnity and space
for clarity to waken into form

drawing close my mantle

pulling up my hood
heeding my own counsel
