the serpents scales
drifting, sliding, covering
the twinkling, seeking eyes peeking down
upon my bare restless body
a gathering up of light
to cast it forth over my head
and thrown out into night

a tail that has no end
a song that slithers so
a blackened maze of midnight
cut away softly with no teeth
by a gentle plume
and an edgeless wreath

were I to dive up and away
into those illumined eyes
left only to look upon, to leave behind
that vast shelter where I lay
would I give away anything
and continue this drifting sway?

this serpent continues its passing
in a bloodless slither,a soft belay
opaque faces along his belly
with clear eyes that never stir
peering down from that endless vault
changing shapes that never were

"It is only because of our misunderstanding that we think the person we love no longer exists after they "pass away." This is because we are attached to one of the forms, one of the many manifestations of that person. The person we love is still there. They are around us, within us, and smiling at us."

On a fragrant Sunday morning
the whole world takes a breath
it inhales as it sleeps
and exhales what is left

even the nesting, resting birds
are afraid to stake a claim
with their gray wings tucked away
greeting silence as it came

and the clouds won't risk to move
for fear they should allow
a crack in their own sky
for which they took a vow

if your toes do touch the Earth
will they stir the silent air?
will you create a tremble
will you bring the day to bare?

Nay, just lie in bed and dream
in that half-sleep, half aware
place of smiling, and wishing for
a lovers warm, embracing stare
