Per Amor Ad Astra

Per Amor Ad Astra

Take only photos, leave only footprints,

The mantra of the visitor

To nature's stoop.

We tread lightly on our mother's carpet,

The grass or soil or sand deforms

Under shoe or sole.

We watch as our cousins trot or sway or chirp

As our brother sets on the horizon,

Brilliant and silent.

Together are we on our little world, starstuff all.

As much of the ground or sky

As we are each other.

Watch as the stars rearrange themselves,

See the passing of eras, young ones,

Rise to your feet and behold.

Farmtown Vibes

Planting seeds in the rich brown of my eyes,

Watering them with the cool blue of yours,

We gaze past irises and into souls

Our identities blurring and blending

Fusing into something entirely new.

The harvest is lush, my basket overflows.

Corn of ideas, creeping beans of love,

The flowing gourds of acceptance and

Understanding give a cornucopia of

Nourishing food for the soul.

THE METEOROLOGIST SAYS SUN

One day, stripped of faith, I stopped waiting. 
I waved goodbye to the woman who ran
through the years, like she was always missing
a train.

Well, it was never coming. 

I would know, I built that station.
I tore up the tracks before I had the inkling to lay on them.
Or, that is to say, before they prayed for me 
in a candlelit room. A cross drawn, 
a whisper meant to save me.

We all want to hear that we’re loved. Or we could be.
But all my friends are planting gardens,
and I’m a dandelion, wishing for a breath
to carry me away.

Once, I would have begged to be buried
to bloom with the tulips. But the years are getting shorter.
I reach for the sun and wait 
for it to confirm I’m alive.

A 6 AM kiss and I’m still here. 
This morning, I believed the weather report.
I tip-toed to the edge and the blood rang in my ears.
I opened up my arms
— and the world kept spinning.
