Ecclesiastes 1: 2-11, "Everything Is Meaningless"

Days of Ore (Stone Chronicles)

To see

 ....The fragrance of sound

              ............With discerning tongues

                 ..............................And feel it

Beyond the skin

It's...

     Insects and tumbling boulders
     Affirmative response, tin blimp, portals
     Fox-like with quartz kinsmen, thick milk
     Acceptance of a pure aqua rebirth
     Ones passed on with gratitude
     Ring of fortune tellers
     Man in dusty magenta
     What's his name?

     Dark Saturday
     American birds of prey
     Despot red, profound violet
     Ms. Borden in the throes of anorexia
     Female monarch, mistcap, lips meeting lips
     Travel excursion, someone from another land
     Capitals of Illinois and Massachusetts
     River running through Hades
     Dorothy's home

     Sensitive azures
     Philharmonic of fluorescent bulbs
     Devoted followers of the cyan shellfish
     Double alphabet-ending apex, Spanish deity
     Exceptional trollop, blood pump, alloy lady
     Segmented arachnids bearing venomous stingers
     Hearing-impaired cat, box truck raining ice 
     Electrons flowing forward and backward
     Automobiles, pale serpent
     .......It's the cops
     ..............It's hurry
     .....................It's victory

     Trust never again, viable hue
     Fiery habaneros, Wonderland maiden shackled
     Pistols n' pretty flowers, ideal sphere
     Aural stimulant arboretum, ferrica
     Jelly from the oyster, breaking gourds
     Fonda's cloying habit, cinema of reveries
     Fliers from a granite house of worship
     Twenty-four hours of leafy color

     Ire in opposition to the device
     Fasteners three-quarters of a foot long
     Wind forger, disparate faction
     Manchu warriors, baby-talking figurines
     Side of coin embossed with buffalo
     The highest spiritual plain

"It's only Rock & Roll, but I like it"

It's history. 

  

Danse Haiku: Act VIII

Scene 1

Baroque masterstroke

J.S. Bach’s harpsichord suite

Dulcet notes entwined

Scene 2

In deep ocean beds

Curious octopi wait

Tentacles in trance

Scene 3

Rusty frame reborn

Care gives life to metal bones

Jalopy restored

Barcarole

Dilate
Your eyes
To the subtle
Sunrise
That abides
In an aesthetic
Moment
.
It’s a soft kiss
To inspirit
The lips
With the promise
Of rare beauty
.
The song of you
Is written
In love
.
.
You know it
By heart
.

.
.
Please sing it
.

For me

Olympic Mettle

The diver stands

At the edge of the board

Hovers above the blue jewel pool

Marshaling resolve

Hands trembling

Below

Aqueous trial

To leap is to dare

To confront the liquid mirror

Plunge into depths unknown

Submerge into a vortex

Of rising bubbles

And ripples

To emerge

Reborn

On a tiled floor

Each stroke, a challenge faced

Each droplet of water, a testament

Trepidation becomes triumph

As old fears wash away

In a lave of bravery
