61 A Breath Taken

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you ever seen a dream

Or a scene from a dream

With castles and knights and fog misted banks?

Or have you ever seen a breath

That was taken from you

While your eyes turn toward skies

Filled with clouds that fly high

On pink and blue seas

Seeking rest in the source of their joy?

57 Soft-Heeled Stealings

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trembling and broken, the light seeking shelter

I could not find what I need

Though finding it not as important as seeing

And seeing the start of belief

I sought just a bit more than I ought

Fought just a bit more than I could

Gently teasing with soft-heeled stealings

I found the light where I should

Do I go on toward ... where?

I don't know

Or is this the light from the proper shore?

Trembling and broken in this soft, healing shelter

I know I need search no more

53 Silent sailors seeking harbors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quiet corners and dusty posers floating freely through the air

Sunlit seaboats sailing softly shining brightly just for me

These silent sailors do they realize I can see them dancing wildly

Do they care, do they dare

and will they ever leave?

45 The Red Couch

There are certain patterns of gold and red that find themselves inside my head.
Certain places where I can go to imagine wonders and wander with mages.
Warm I slide deep down inside of the place where my book and I do hide.
And holding close to me my pillow ... or is that my steed?  I suppose it depends on me.>

This is a shot I took in Bermuda in the summer.  It's from the lobby of the Princess Hamilton (sudden sighs of, "oh, yeah, I remember those couches" bubble from the audience). 

I love to write poems.  And I think that if I spent more than 10 minutes, I might actually write a good one.  There is something about the magic of a well placed word, the rhythm of a percolating syllable, the delight of an unexpected turn ... all of which I find so satisfying.  Try it.  I promise not to tell :) 

Love and peace,

Glen

43 Little Boy Days

Don't you love the expressions on these little boys!?   There's something really wonderful about the faces of children.  So genuine.  PS - do you like how I made him stare at my name!?  Shameless, isn't it ;)  It's kindof like he's thinking ... "who the heck is that!?  And what is his name doing there?oh ... and I have to peepee."

Little brother, these days are ours to share

There're no cares to care, no enemies to beware 

Just dares and ice cream and little dog tails

There're trees to climb before mom calls, before light fails

There're girls to hide from and spy on and pulling pony tails

Little brother, these days are licorice and sweet

And though we don't know it now

These are days we will long to repeat

33 Subtle sweet visions

Subtle sweet visions of heavenly offerings spinning uplift noses and fresh, pouty poses. Let the roses think what they may think.

But even roses know, perhaps more than most, that loveliness and love should never be lost.
