somewhere
after a rainstorm
leaves are drifting down
from an old tree
the leaves fall flat on the pavement
and are no longer red or gold
but pale and broken
nevertheless
in the sun’s sudden light
they are a vision
of gold-flecked beauty
somewhere
a child is born
who is welcomed
or regretted
or something in between
who through an alchemy
of fate and circumstance
may change the world
for the better
somewhere
a dragonfly darts past
the eyes of a passerby
who stops to watch the flash of wings
and the changing iridescent rainbow of colors
while elsewhere
a spider remains in a corner of a room
because its intricate web proves
too beautiful for a sweeper
to sweep away
and wherever
and whoever
is reading my attempt
at a poem about wonder
i hope your heart will bloom
before such miracles too
26 Saturday Nov 2022
do you ever half awaken just before dawn
when the sky is soft and the world is wide
when all that is past and all that is to come
are mere shadows under a restless sun
when for a moment peace is in the air
and your sunlit soul is free of care

i haven’t forgotten you
though memories have faded
and days go by when i don’t think of you as often as before
all those moments who knows where they go
will there ever be a time when we can slip into a stream
of past memories and let it carry us away
i remember most the feeling of nearness
of your being by my side
for some reason that has never gone away
the other day i felt i could open a door
any door
and there you’d be waiting
perhaps this is what will always remain
an essence a hope a dream
of what our forever will be

something brings you to mind:
perhaps a rare assemblage
of particles in the atmosphere
that make the light just so
you may be surprised
but i know one or two things
about you
for instance
how beautiful you were
when you were born
and how beautiful you still are
but you don’t know it
if i could rearrange the world
to convince you of this truth
i hope i would
but the world is such
and i am such
neither the world nor i
can make you love
the person you are
this momentary change
in the atmosphere
is just that: momentary
for as the golden light dissolves
into the harsh bright day
once again i am a realist

the day begins in a lovely way
summer warmth on a winter day
the moon and sun have come to play
no need to think of yesterday
wear a smile for all to see
to chase away all misery
for today is quite a lovely day
no need to live for yesterday

she loved the twilight most of all
the early stars
rising above crimson clouds
which unravel before her eyes
it was the magic hour
so they say
when everything seems imminent
like a promise for a happy ending
the hope for a new-found dream
or a final rest to past regrets

little bird
i know who you are
your nearness
your dearness
are gifts from afar
and nothing can make me
believe it’s not true
for out of nowhere
i suddenly knew
a lesser despair
because of you
and nothing can make me
believe it’s not you
for wouldn’t you appear when
i most needed you to

today you were a dragonfly
darting by fast and soon gone
yesterday you were a hummingbird
hovering in the air
as you drank nectar from a tree
until you fled faster
than my eyes could follow
tomorrow you will be something else
just as fragile extraordinary and fleet
whom i will greet before you disappear
into the great unknown
