*Mara Light*
Linger,
Take
Time
To
Contrast
And
Compare
Words
Hovering
In
The
Air,
Grace
Notes,
Musical,
Lovely
Word
Thoughts
To
Share
Or
Safely
Keep,
To
Cherish
Before
You
Sleep.

*Stara* Escha Van Den Bogerd
Summon
The
Will,
Sit
Very
Still,
And
See
What
Oceans
Of
Wild
Notions
Drift
Into
Your
Brain,
Numerous
As
Rain,
Impossible
To
Explain.
Wrestle
Them
To
The
Floor,
And
Shape
Them
Into
More
Than
Random
Flashes
Of
Verbal
Glory.
Reach
Out,
Grasp
A
Thread,
And
Weave
A
Story.

I’m
Sick
Today,
So
Haven’t
Much
To
Say.
I Caught
A
Bug,
And
The
Only
Drug
Is
Just
To
Sit,
And
Make
The
Best
Of
It.
Work
Goes
Undone
And
That’s
No
Fun,
But
I’ll
Shake
Off
This
Wicked
Spell,
And
In
A
Day
Or
Two,
Be
Well.

Newly
Mapped
Collections
Of
Stars
Crowd
The
Skies,
Bright
Reflections
Stirring
Distant
Recollections
Of
Another
Home,
From
Which,
Long
Ago,
We
Chose
To
Roam.
With
No
Viable
Planet
Left,
Folk
There
Bereft,
Perhaps
While
Still
Alive,
We
Flew
Away
To
Again
Survive,
Basking
In
Another
Sunglow,
Until
We
Blow
This
Earth
To
Dust
And
Wander
On,
As
It
Seems
Humans
Must.

*Reclining Figure 2* Carved Tupelo 15 1/4" L X 6" H
The
Sculptor
Labors
Every
Day,
In
Clay
And
Steel
And
Stone.
It’s
Solitary
Work,
Usually
Done
Alone.
They
Breathe
Filtered
Air,
Sand
Surfaces
In
Running
Water,
Chisel,
Carve,
And
With
Cunning
Skill,
Construct
A
Form
So
Abstract
It
Seems
The
Norm,
And
Completely
Real.

*Evelyn de Morgan*
When
Will
The
Inner
Voice
Be
Dumb,
And
No
More
Pretty
Words
Come
To
Mind?
I Know
The
Heart
Will
Find
A
Way
And
Continue
To
Say,
Listen,
Look
And
See
What
Fragment
Of
Beauty
Comes
To
Visit
Me.

Just
A
Trick
Of
The
Night,
An
Edge
Of
Fright,
A
Slip
On
The
Stair,
Certain
Something
Is
There,
Surprise,
Alarm,
A
Cold
Fear
Of
Harm,
The
Various
Darks
A
Shiver
Of
Sharks,
Then
The
Light
At
The
Landing
Brings
Clear
Understanding.

*F. Michael Wood*
The
Mind
Engages
In
A
Constant
Reverie,
Undirected
And
Free.
Discipline
Comes
At
A
Cost,
And
Poetry
Can
Be
Lost
To
Rules
Taught
In
Schools.
Few
Will
Care
What
Dreamscape
You
Quietly
Share,
Precious
Words
May
Go
Unheard,
And
Like
Unrequited
Love,
Be
Tucked
Away
For
Another
Day.

What
Did
It
Mean
To
Be
The
Queen,
Fixed
Symbol
To
Each
And
All?
To
Finally,
With
Grace,
Lay
The
Burden
To
Rest,
After
Decades
Of
Doing
One’s
Best,
Discard
The
Crown
And
Travel
To
Death’s
Silent
Town.
Those
Left
Behind
Will
Bear
The
Grief,
But
Perhaps
She
Would
Count
It
A
Great
Relief,
Aboard
A
Shadowed
Funeral
Boat,
At
Last,
No
One
Of
Note.

I Drink
Tea
And
Note
The
Progress
Of
The
Morning
Sun,
Music
Plays
And
I Find
Ways
To
Delay
The
Duties
Of
The
Day.
Tranquility
Is
Rare,
And
I Take
Care
To
Hold
It
Near
In
These
Worrisome
Times,
And
Seek
Solace
In
These
Humble
Rhymes.
