Wed in love
But solo soul awareness
Is not enough
Nothing of man made reality is infallible.
Everything of the divine is perfect & complete.
To be everything is simple to understand.
To be nothing is simple to understand.
It is being human that puzzles me.
She is vulnerable yet indestructible, resilient and soft, visible but hidden, shrouded in a luminous mystery of her own soul’s design. The moon lives alone in darkness yet loneliness nor fear overtake her. She journeyed through hidden worlds to find the all knowing light of love, and in the end she discovered that what she sought was in herself. The moon does not seek, but reveals, does not attach, but flows in the tides of her own gravity. So I took up the path to search for her light, only to feel her warm presence glowing from my soul.

Eight moons encircled us in the night sky above
As I stood in the heart of a familiar forest.
Every pearl slowly revealed herself after the last,
Clear yet veiled by a familiar mystic design.
The radiance of a boiling star passed as she spoke,
“true wisdom lies beneath the illusion of distinctions”.
We awoke in the luminous shade of Crescent street,
I could not find the moon for she became me.
From my newest series She Dreamed of Eight Moons (Purchase prints here)
A crow landed onto a knot of loosely hanging wires,
his head cunningly in search of the mother.
Seeing no one, he darts into the tiny makeshift nest
tucked between an apartment window and rusted security bars.
The innocent white egg stands out against the thief’s black coat
as he flies through the twilight, noticeably conscious of his guilt.
The mother returns, still as a just-shattered heirloom
before collecting her pieces to race out in the direction of the crow.
We shared a joint in the alley next to mine
It was late and there was a quiet breeze
I named him a star and he called me the moon
Never will I not believe
That love is found in little things
