Authors of Confusion




Into my childhood ears, wisdom poured
From the lips that held the most precious breath
The voice that carried a wisdom from then unto then, and even now
The tones of truths held dear, re-echo, resound
Reappear as that which cannot be long hidden.

Time reaps and returns like the grasp of the seas
That take and keep all things- until returned to the light.
The proof of what was, and that it has ever been,
Held in deeps and keep of the ages, but never gone.

God is not the author of confusion…

In the mysteries of eternities,
there is clarity in the mind of a child;
purity lies in the warm heart of truth
as age turns the young green leaves to gold.
Honesty is abundant like the sun
free to fill the eyes of all that welcome warmth,
and  so too is choice--
the voice within that quietly submits
to the noisy world.

As time molds and shapes us
Like trees agreed with wind and rain
To stand thus; we yet fulfill
The fruits of seasons. The sweetness
Of the inner place can fall from its natural place
Of inherent reflection, a fallen grace, buried
Beneath a worldly gold, and thus
Inscribed, a soul lost in the midst of life.

Tossed in chaos; the inner strife divided
The mansion of many rooms dissolves
Unfound, among rumors of crows in a defiant fog.
Defiant, even unto the burning thaw of dawn. Reborn
Are they now, disciples of the Lost, and chain bound followers,
Dedications of the  authors of confusion.

Venus in the morning...

A grand view of the fall of stars
around the crest of dawn
and the velvet deeps play
into a crescendo of lightened blue
that ends in the fire of morning.

The journey of a day finds its way
across a hurried path into the east;
 first the eyes and then the heart
grabbed by a moment of lonely Venus...

Speak to me of love
as distant stars have faded, lost
in the wall of morning, yesterdays long-past
find voice in the mirage of coming light.
You who have seen the dawn of ages,
and death of epochs, each folded
into the edge of endless nights.

You, who have seen the fire of love
grow cold, and the ice of neglect
cover vacant hearts,
and known the point of longing
when the unspent purse grows thin
Rise to remind
that love is ever like the morning-
it is the peace of darkness, and the
matchstick  of a coming day.

sounds...

fishing pond...
a snowy egret dips low into
sounds of lapping waves

tossing ...
thoughts leap into the sounds
creaking floors

wet sandals...
she smiles into the sounds
dripping rosebuds

above the shawl...
whispered prayers into the sounds
her nursing babe
