"Secret Rapture"

Sublime Light

The light blossoms and circulates 

Falling tenderly as a lover's kiss

Wherever it touches

A dancer is born

Arms outstretched 

Orchestras trace each movement 

Every color vibrates with the beating of a thousand wings 

Contentment and peace are sheets of silk 

Falling softly about 

Brushing every surface

Enchanting each thought

In this place

There are no wolves 

There are no dark enigmas

The gentle radiance is a shaman that explains all 

With its simple presence alone 

Poem "Ocean"

Ocean

There is an ocean that rises within

Like an orchestra from a conductor's baton 

Filled with soft fingers of light

That comb my being with ethereal music

As it swells 

A hush falls over every internal fretful child 

That confided its cries in the night

My eyes become clear and I realize 

Each looming phantom was always an old friend

In a flowing, gossamer gown 

Asking me to tea

Poem "Aurora"

Aurora 

The sun peeks over a sleepy horizon

Trees rouse and reach their bare fingers 

Towards a single, flickering angel 

The ecstatic shift shakes the furrowed ground 

Rattling seeds with the vibration of sudden Life

Frozen rivers exhale the disease of stagnation 

While an emanating pulse fractures the gray 

All shadows scamper like guilty dogs disappearing into the light

A vivid bird sheers the silence with its anthem, commencing all that breathes 

Each bone and thought realigns without effort 

And begins to speak simple poetry 

The pipe organ declares an ancient song

Summoning the original stories from the belly of the earth

Dawn rises in the eye of the weary traveler 

Infinity sprouts in the bones of the mortal 

And all becomes animated 

Ablaze with defiant, sublime magic 

Remembering knowledge as one remembers color 

True North

is a song that shakes the dust from the lips of the lost
