                            First UFO Sighting

Dancing like fish in the dark
Seen from underwater
Playing, darting geometric
First one and then the other
Cross the prairies of the sun
At other dimensional speed
Nothing to do with here!
One more life form
Out there beyond
Seems so natural
(What would you expect?)
Maybe they're getting ready for
Volcano evacuation.
My heart filled with quiet joy -
They've finally let me see them!

                    Light Music

The thunderheads at night
Behind the mountains, flashing clouds
Are sending light music to me,
Seated on the well;

A firefly streaks by
Across the starry sky -
Or was it a meteorite?
                                 June, 1980








Poetry

                    Rain at Night

         The soft drops descending
         Cover me like a blanket
         Comforting kiss the leaves
         And send me off to warm misty
                                            sleep.

October, 2000

the rain-softened mountain
now fades and disappears
soft sabers of peach trees
hang limp in the cold
the hushed whisper of dying rain
gently ushers in the night

ThTThe Night

Bright night
when everything's at rest
the moon is building silver empires
on the earth.

Connection

A falling leaf through the window
Threading me through
To the eternal world.
                                                            December 1985
                                           Ceremony

Rivers of air flow down the slopes of the forest night under the icy chill of the next-to-full moon. It is a night when wolves run and rivers howl, and fingers of air come creeping round corners to touch your neck and shoulders - death's sting is everywhere, for this is the magnificent Ceremony of the closing of the cycle - when life departs freezing bones and rises to the next world. Now it is the bones of the hills that shine out. Rivers of death flow from the north,  his beard and hair shining white through the moons, crystal mares' tails whip the sky, and stars shine eerily for a spell. December moon, you are the essence of the frozen North, roaring in our chimneys tongues and swaying our lamps' candles.

While on the hearth dies the glow of cheery embers, charcoal shards brought in from a box used to shelter the blanket-covered chickens' basket - a small bamboo chiquihuite filled with toys and old clothing acts as a barrier to the north wind's ghostly symphony.

Tonight fire raged on the horizon, as in my dream some twenty years ago. It was only a farmer burning his field. But the wind roars like a train in the chimney. Trees are heard shifting and swiftly shivering their dry husks and wild wisps, while dry cars crawl across the highway hours away. A mounrful bus groans across the plain, for this is a night of wild noise and doings.

Terror begins creeping round the world as waves of power and rage begin their mighty clawing. Ripples of violence and war shoot around the world, and earthquakes sound their alarms through the earth's central nervous system. But as seasons of the soil, leaf-pages of our lives, may we be raised in new life's growth to come in the fullness of time. What is our seed count now?

The Ceremony that brings rebirth will come with water.
