aura
Silent Fireflies
The stars' silent light
winking through the night
Fireflies moving stars
Soundless is their light
as are the best teachers
whose auras without words
grant gifts of insight
Born For Infinity
Born For Infinity
As water falls
from clouds
And music flows
from guitars
and words leave
the poet
and light
pours from stars
As art
from the painter
scent radiates
from bloom
peach tree
bursts from pit
child born
of womb
As attraction
leaves the magnet
love departs the heart
heat leaves the fire
Auras
from souls depart
-saiom shriver-
the wings of spirit

THE WINGS OF SPIRIT
*
Fixed the bottle of scent...
Unbound her fragrance' ascent
Branched the nightingale
but her song to all ascends.
Moored tonight is the boat
but morn brings unfurled sails.
Earthbound the bodhisattva
but his aura spreads everywhere.
Amherst-circumscribed
was Emily's pen
but her poems to
distant lands took flight.
93 million miles away the sun
but his love left home
to give us light.

Footnote: Bodhisattva..
1 a soul who chooses to come back
to earth to help others rather than
to be liberated
