MAY CLOAKS
*
May accompanied by

frog chorus croaks

with jade... cloaks
millennial oaks
as rain their roots soaks
foiling lightning's strokes

which turn living wood

into smoke
*
EARRING
*
When their love was a yearling
he brought her amethyst earrings.
Though this did her tears bring
she needs no gifts.
She always knows
her darling's endearing.
*
PINK US
*
The sun with dawn pinks us
.. each Rao, Lee, Mohammed,
Brown, Chavez and Pinkus.
*
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
*
Beauty trumps
striving emotion.
Seek others, says AA, through
attraction not promotion.
With not a word, no motion
the bloom pulls bee's devotion.
*
ALL CREATION
*
Jesus said not 'go teach
all nations'... but
'teach all creation'.
St Francis often
preached through
silent example
*
WAVE SQUARE
*
A walk on the beach
is squared to the waves
.. a square which blesses
them.
*
DEWY SCENTS
*
Bees are to flowers drawn
by the dewy scents of dawn.
*
UNBARBED HEART
*
He fishes for fish souls,
not their bodies. He has an unbarbed heart.
He has no net.
His pole has no hook, no lure,
no agenda.

*
Footnote: St Anthony is reputed to
have preached to the fishes
who listened.
*
RESPECTING AUTONOMY
*
Only for a brief time
can one control
the movements of
another's soul.
He thinks this
while waves unroll
their uncontrolled
and ceaseless scroll.
