Madeleine of inner worlds

What unfurls within those curls?

Allegorically we speak

While one caresses from cheek to cheek.

Inadvertantly I speak to you

To remind me of all that's true.

Indepth beyond these spurious walls

Unaccustomed to things that fall.

But raindrops do what they must do

To flood the earth with morning dew

And carry leaves upon their flight

Transcending nature both day and night.

My cleanse has begun or so it seems

It's evidently in my dreams

And once again I start anew

To ponder life and love that's true.

March 2013

Dear Madeleine,

These are the mighty shores 

That have opened all my pores

Of sparkling sands and silken seas

There are none such as these

Not to mention those stunning trees

That are truly great Andamanese

I'm here at last after many a year

Travelling both far and near

I may have reached some other ground

For in this space I think I've found

A spot where I'd like to hang my hat

Now what do you think about that?

A forest that's landed into the sea

That's exactly where I'd like to be

Night swimming under the moon

Can only make you swoon

Sparkles of phosphorescence in everything you touched

Life is really made of star dust

I'm bewitched by this enchanted land

To find some solace in sea and sand

Most certainly will be back for more

And hopefully bring you to this shore.

Fulfilled

Harper

Love and feathers

Harper

while I wait for wings
To lift me up and take me home
What lands in my fishing net
Is a lovely leafy pome.

I understand the sabbath days
of solitary solemnness
I understand that nature is
so full of rambling randomness

As the story has unravelled
from through winter until now
We can do nothing but watch and learn
To destiny I bow

Its time a few changes
for a cosmic overhaul
we'll have to work on healing
though summer unto fall

My body has protested
At how I choose to live
She's asking me for things now
That I don't know how to give.

I grab her every morning
When I go to work
And when I am day dreaming
Still gently she does lurk

Its only now I understand
your knees and your aches
How can we keep them happy
For dear heaven's sake!

As of the turbulent waters
That toss our daily boat
I trust you to hang in there
And hold on to your note.

You  must trust me when I tell you
That  these are important times
Its through this turbulence
That words starts to rhyme.
Its through this dangling conversation
That we will find the clues
As to what we must think
And what we must do///

You are living a great learning
That tells me you will know
More and more everyday
But it could be slow..

Lets hold on to our dreams
And play with our words
Its just a mater of time before
We soar with 'em birds

Love and feathers

Mediary thought

Madeleine

It's as if I'm not there

Filled with hope and then despair

An adequate state of know-not-what

A blank___ a slash/ a dash- a dot.

I lie as if I am awake

And walk with dreams I can't partake

I tarry forth back to and fro

Not knowing whence I came from, or where to go.

I slowly slip into the mist

Question things I can't resist

Scribbling lines upon the fog

Conversations with no dialogue.

This limbo is my winter estate

A solemn entrance to natures gate

I'm waiting for this mist to rise

To drift along with no surprise.

Deriving life from other things

Soaking up what nature brings

And in that mediary thought

I catch a glimpse of all that's naught.

Tonight I sat under the moon

It's getting fuller all too soon

But it was nice to simply rest

And imbibe all that's truly blessed.

These days have been my saving grace

Journeying through life at a steady pace

Planting ideas like little seeds

Hoping someday to eat the fruits of these deeds.

I'm off now to return

To my dreams where I shall learn

Of places been and lives forgot

Lessons learned and soul songs taught.

Solitary on Sabbath,

Harper
