PUMPKIN VINE DESCENSION


                 Nightly to heaven

                 their souls' ascension

                 To Heart Thrones,

                 heart queens' accessions

                 To lower boughs,

                 laden fruit trees' recessions.

                 To Earth Hearth

                 Pumpkin Vines' decensions



Now comes the Spirit

who frees

all women

from pumpkin shells

Now comes the Spirit

who liberates

women from sexist

Cinderelle.



(to C Salamone)





COLIN FIRTH



Some travel to

the Firth of Forth

while toward the theatre

others go Forth to Firth



     



JAMES BARRIE



Time is a crocodile

a devouring clock o'dial.

Sooner or later all

transcend it

drinking amrit phials.







  



BO BO SHAKTISHWAR



This anonymous little boy

slipped from form

without making a sound or

causing a ripple



Though only a few have known his

gentle ways, his constant

peacemaking, his protection

of other cats, his quiet perseverance,

he has changed the world in ways

only God knows.



Human beings were changed for

the better by this teacher of love.



  



RIPPLES



Without the creek's

unstable ripples

there'd be no sunray

sparkles or stipples



(to Donny M)



DESIRE MOLD



Desire is a mold

into which God can pour

His liquid gold

which solidifies to

forms

wished for of old





  



FANSHAPED NETS



The sea casts her

fanshaped wavefoam nets

to draw those on the shore

to her peaceful depths



PRISM



Melting the rigid opinions

of the mind's prism

helps one break out

of the body's habit prisons







MANY MANSIONS



In her physical heart there

are many mansions

.. shining with love..

one for each she has met.



Her spiritual heart is infinite

.. with endless chambers, one

for every being.





(to Ruth Older)
