Cradling the Cosmos

A lake

The night ripples

Why are you so playful

Smiles the moon

Charming us

To dance upon your waves

How marvelous an invitation

For stars

To pulse and phase

For the sky

To twist this way

Such warmed light

Performing nightly

Washing

And bathed

Upon your waves

Polite

And calm

Cradling the cosmos

In your arms

God Blew Bubbles

God blew body into bubbles

Glowing golden, in glycerin globes

Then polished into orbs

Which floated down from the heavens, into form

Each carried its own iridescent charm

Majestic colors changing, sparkling in light

Hinted at a beyond, in movements with design

Over many lifetimes, lived

Burst, then reformed again

In gusts given godly succession, bodies freely admitted

Inspired, earthly waves, as breathed upon birth

Buoyed upon winds, which sway, ever so gently

Cradled, rocking by invisible hands

Kissed and released through divine breath

Which, reveals, in each globe, to be reveled

Unknown, to be known

A way back, shown, in glycerin waves

Through each bubble blown

Dragonfly

I am the moon, dragonfly

Winged creature, watch

Flutter wings, alive, in the twilight

Watch me as my face delights

Let us be remade in the eyes of one

Lungs to gather in the breadth of many lifetimes

Irrespective of our size, you are my satellite

Though, together, I am yours, in flight

To pull in the gravity of our orbit

As breath breathes into moment

To bask in the night, you arrive in effulgence

We are of glowing presence, alone

Shining as the contemplating night

Two bodies bathed, reflecting in the moonlight

Fly with me dragonfly, fly!

Lend me your ascendant wings

To grace over tomorrow’s land

Together, we will transcend our sorrows

To become the sky, again

I am the moon, once you have taken me in my fullness

And you are my light, dragonfly
