Cosmic Dancer's Sharing Wings

Your absolute insistence
at holding on to the integrity
of your identity,
has always forced me to grow,
always made me confront
my own lack of acceptance,
my own unfairness,
my own need of nobility.
Climbing some ladder of enlightenment,
you nudge me irritatingly
to some higher rung.
You shove me up and push me thru the
self induced trance;
the inertia of my selfishness.
Pioneering unfamiliar mountains
of magnanimous thought,
Rising above
the valley of sightless limitations.
the message of love clearer here
where i touch the clouds....
And struggle to inhale the breath of compassion;
reaching to take your hand
as we follow on,
paired opposites
braided deftly into
One Cosmic dancer sharing wings.

As Unseen As Tomorrow

Like a fisherman I
cast my net
into the vast sea of thought,
hopeful as a clear morning
waking from dreams of abundance.
But the sea that offers up
the secrets of its depth and darkness
does not release and give
its sacred treasures easily.
It first has demands....
and the net hurled
into the wrong place
returns empty to the dreamers dismay,
and the mighty musings of a clear morning
can be aborted into the storm
of a turbulent afternoon as unseen
as tomorrow.
So I cast my net
into the streaming O of
thought and breath
and hope the vapors pour forth
the fullness of my words.
