  1. Of Irregular Cheer

    The swan wavers

    Coasting on a true blue sheet.

    The sun quavers

    The background breeze favours

    An oily seductive heat.


    A b lack swan hovers

    In the encroaching reeds –

    A narrow cloudburst covers

    The approach of lovers

    That the meddling sun impedes.


    A prismatic arc appears

    Against a dewy sky,

    The black swan ...

  2. Reasons to be happy

    by , 10-13-2009 at 04:10 AM (Reflections on the puddle of life)
    Yesterday, when I woke, I found myself in a strange state of peace. It was like waking totally empty of emotion, nothing bad nothing good, into a state of acceptance. I had been dreaming, and in my dream an apocalypse was coming but I wasn't afraid. I was happy, grateful. Not for the end but for having had such lovely things in my life which made it worth living.

    The dream I put down to a story in Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man which, if you read it, is very similar to my dream. ...

    glowing in the blue glass dish

    vibrant in its is-ness



    sacred to Apollo

    font of Avalon



    offers itself

    from the first garden

    sweet as knowledge

    bitter as wisdom



    from Iduna's box

    food to keep gods

    forever young

    or food for the dead

  4. Imagine Peace....

    by , 10-12-2009 at 04:41 PM (day in a life)
    They lit the Imagine Peace Tower here a few days ago, it's beautiful. I was walking home from work the other night at around midnight and the light straight up in the air and stars all around it and the moon was golden, aahh amazing. I love winter nights. this tower is lit every year by Yoko Ono in John Lennon's memory and his fight for peace. I read in the paper that you can see it online too.... but I haven't checked it out.

    I have been so busy with school, man I think I'll crack ...

  5. First Snow

    A light dusting of snow has fallen today.

    Just outside my window from where I sit at work is a lake. I have loved to see those new flakes of this new winter fall into the still-open water and disappear into the best form of our best element: water.

    It makes for a lovely scene -- the trees still half-leaved and snow-covered. The lake still open and inviting. The snow from the sky merges in a kiss with the snow from winters 100 years ago.
