WHAT CAUSES DREAMS

What causes dreams
If not desires
Invisible awake,
Manifesting themselves
When darkness
Is all that may be seen,
And the mind escapes
Mundane matters
Dredging up hidden wants,
Unusual solutions,
And expectations?

TATTERED BOOK I AM

tattered book i am
pages curled with age and use
but still worth reading


ENTICING REVELATIONS

not coercion but
enticing revelations
words should not be traps

DREAM WOMAN AND SHAMAN WOLF

On the front edge of the night,
Dream Woman walks,
Beside her - old gray wolf,
Guardian, protector, guide,
Shaman wolf, warrior wolf,
Connection to this world
Of mortal men, watching over
Dream Woman as she steps through
The snow-filled forest
Of somewhere which might have been,
Head raised to the moon,
He reads the wind
To find the path upon which
To return her to their home
In the world beside the trail
They both walk within her mind.

COLORFUL TOUCHES

soft and subtle shades
dawn's light glistening on skin
colorful touches
