this deep sky sea
these deep currents
well up
the way below
roiling riding
your waves your curls your shores
your sea our sea this deep sky sea
••••••••••••••••••
first rays
first rays
illuminating
new fresh green
reflections
still
golden
on the pond
in the stream
**************
in the wind
the temples are far away now
the caves too
in the wind
went in the wind
caressing the earth
with bare feet
seeking knowing
undergoing such stints
in sacred spaces
in the wind
all in the wind
so many lovers
such wonderful secret smiles
skin shining so soft beyond velvet
so many memories
touching feeling each taste
as if yesterday as if last night
in the wind
all in the wind
i’ve lived my life in the wind
went in the wind so young
these years going in the wind too
Himalayas Sierras Appalachians
behind now looking out from
my fourth floor one room walk up
above a noodle factory
backstreet Kyoto canal below
such brief shining beauty
this riot of cherry blossoms
for the heart the eyes the spirit
before rains and wind take them
take all
our white hairs
our longing skin too
in the wind
all in the wind
