* the gods hammering
in the sky showering sparks
of rolling thunder *
* winter's sun hangs low
shimmering on crashing waves
as wet dogs run free *
* Carmel Beach wet sand
waves erase my footprints and
i was never here *
* Monterey Pines rain
needles as winter's wind howls
the wolves are silent *
* I wasn't looking
for a husband I was just
surviving Winter *
* damn I think I am
infected by the Haiku
bug now too oh joy *
* it is funny once
you wrap your mind around its
form it seems to flow *

Come walk the sky with me, My Sweet,
Let's see what wonders we shall meet
As we set forth at setting sun
And journey through 'til night is done.
We'll leave our clumsy bodies here
And dance tonight by yonder sphere.
Oh, yes, of course, I mean the moon,
That giant pearl that's rising soon.
So close your eyes and breathe out deep;
Let your skin feel Wind's mighty sweep.
Now just let go -- and drift aloft --
Carried up by moonlight soft.
You need not fear the ground below
When souls do walk the ether flow.
So open now your spirit's eyes;
And see the sights full of surprise.
See there that beauteous rosy glow?
It's where the sun just set, you know;
And still the clouds are glowing bright
With yon Apollo's fading light.
On other hand, where moon doth gleam,
We shall set forth 'long heaven's stream.
And sail into the starry dark --
Until we hear the song of lark.
For lark doth warn of rising sun;
And by dawn's light we must be done.
For Faerieland of glitt'ring sky
Begins to fade when sun is nigh.
But still there's time for us to dance,
Come, Sweet, we must not lose this chance --
Throw fear and caution far away,
Tonight it's time for us to play!
Below you, see the lights come on,
Houses lit with electric dawn.
They are but pale reflections, Love,
Of all the stars now bright above.
So let your slender spirit soar
And drink in the wonder evermore,
For all these stars are yours to keep
Within your heart when sound you sleep.
It is my joy to share with you
The sights that only gods can view.
Your hand in mine, we'll journey far,
Even unto the farthest star.
With wonder for our spirits' fuel,
We'll journey out where comets duel.
And talk to constellations bright
As, Dear, I give you all this night.
Ram, Bull and Twins, plus many more
Are here to share with you their lore.
Behold them there, before our eyes,
They've seen so much they must be wise.
They know of ancient mysteries:
They've seen the sights on heaven's seas:
They've watched as Civilizations fall;
And heard nine billion babies squall.
But all their wisdom is but lies
When measured 'gainst your smiling eyes.
Drink moonlight with me, Gentle Heart,
and we shall give cold stars a start.
For fires within me strongly burn
To dance with you in swirling turn.
To sing your beauty to the sky;
And share the bed wherein you lie.
Where better than where stars are dust,
Should ever we find to share our lust --
Our lust of life, of music, joy,
And what are we, but girl and boy?
I give to you, My Gentle Sweet,
All the wonders we've yet to meet.
And ask so little in return,
Please share the heart for which I yearn.
Our spirits journey side by side
As we do take this nighttime ride;
So let our souls give joyous birth
Unto our bodies back on Earth.
There let us join both hand and heart
And Life Together let us start.
Then let us sing out to the sky
Just like the sound that's pealing by.
What sound is that, in heaven's sphere?
Please let it not be what I fear.
Our lives are short, as is this night,
And that sound gives me such a fright.
It is, alas, I know, the lark,
That calls us back from heaven's spark
Unto our bodies far below.
Yes of this journey we shall know.
For this night's dance is ours to keep,
Until we're call'd to Eternal sleep.
So, Dear, I give to you this song,
To keep this night forever long.
I love you deep and long and true --
Body and Soul -- I truly do.
So let me give to you, My Love,
Heaven and all the stars above.

O whither art thou bound, my lass,
In thy bodice with blushing eyes?
What draws thee out into the world
And brings out all those maiden sighs?
Art off to visit yon great faire?
To wonder at the sights and sound
Of flute and drum and merrie song?
To dance away upon the ground?
Or out the door and down the path
Into the meadow's shady glade;
For their to meet a Faerie prince
And fall before his loving blade?
Oh, maiden faire what are your plans?
What mean you now to go and do?
To live a life that's dull and pure;
Or venture out and live what's true?

An open Heart, ready to risk, a few scars, but no shields
You fed me, nourished me, nurtured me, held me close
You wanted me like I'd never been wanted before
Saw beauty I never knew was there
I fell in love with you like I'd never fallen in love before
Knew laughter I'd never felt so deep
Love held lightly in an open palm
And then you were gone
In time, I knew what had happened
How empty you were inside
No Heart, no Soul, no Light of your own
You weren't really there, at all
But you were a mirror for me
Reading me and feeding me what you saw, too perfectly
We matched and meshed in so many ways, so alike were we
Or so I thought... And then I knew...
You gave me what I already had, inside
The Love, the Light, the Heart I saw in you were mine
And now I see I never fell in love with you at all
I fell in Love with Me.
- Rebecca

An acorn droppeth from the sky,
Upon the earth somewhere to lie.
I heard it fall and strike the ground
But if I looked, it'd not be found.

And within every rough stone
sits a crystal yet to be shown.
And in the birds free upward flight
is the vision of the pure light.
And within the depths of the sea
lies the flow of a purified BE.
For tis the blessings of a thought
that may bring Divinity ever so sought.
That which brings back together the plume,
yes ... our feathers of the loom.
