Shooting star, bright joy,
Lighting the darkness of night.
All too quickly gone,
Beauty
Venus…
Venus morning star,
and my thoughts turn to you.
Beauty shining bright.
Oh,… ?
Oh, what should we seek,
happiness or contentment?
A different world…
Day
One leaf bud breaking,
new horizons unfolding.
Springs emerging day.
Midwatch
In midwatch hours,
Bows slicing dark rolling sea,
luminescent wake.
Night Watch
While others sleep,
The vigilant stand watch over
The silent sea.
Design
Bo’sun throws line aloft,
It snakes down, coils, twists, turns.
Incomparable design!
(To the memory of Edgar Whitney)
Free?
If I relaxed totally,
And, unbound my mind,
Where would I be?
Hmmm…
Brooklyn, from the hood!
Dancer, chartreuse, big screen, wide screen,
Never out of touch!
Rain…
No thunder, lightning,
Not getting all scaredy cat.
Walking in the rain.
