Buried reflection,
pits of regret
Reasons to wander,
darkness forgets
Images rising,
blessed by the sun
Timeless reversal
—forgiveness begun
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
To Merlin
Freeing the myth,
begotten to dream
Ramparts to crumble
—Sorcerer’s scheme
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: February, 2021)
Black Elk\'s Prayer
“Fire of my words…
vanish like smoke
into a raging sky
Blanket forever
the memory
of my being”
(Pine Ridge South Dakota: July, 2009)
To Dan Fogelberg
Where do you go
at the end of your dreams
Where do you go
when the daylight moves on
Where do you go
once your voice has run dry
Where do you go
—when tomorrow is gone
(Pagosa Springs Colorado: July, 2019-Rewritten 2-23-2021)
