hours when love flows
all life’s treasures unfold
like petals of most beautiful
flowers

Flowers
Bursting through sand
In those rare desert rains
Seeds that lay dormant first stir then
Subside


I hope you don’t mind the image, Gael.

with its vibrant power
emerging from what seemed wholly

A void
nonexistence
the neccessary space
where things may materialise
by chance

By chance
I wandered  once
To a field of flowers
Verdant beauty, countless colors
Unseen

Unseen
Night rain drizzles,
Soaking the parched bare ground:
New grass raised like a soft green fog
At dawn.

At dawn
I am surprised
summer arrives early
two notes repeat, cuckoo, cuckoo,
cuckoo.

two haunting notes
high, wild, free, full of joy,
the longing in my heart bursts forth:
summer!

One truth–
A ragged grin–
My tongue explores the gap.
One missing tooth, rules the world
through pain.
