I love the sea at night.
It is darkness transformed
Into into a mysterious liquid.
The moonlight sparkles
On the waves and is hypnotic
To look at. It occurs to a
Person that the sea is where
We came from.
Tag: night
Quotation
Of all the quotations I’ve known one jumps
Out at me most of all, that is love all the
People you have. Embrace them and tell
Them you love them. Love is strong but
Also fragile. When the day comes and
They aren’t with you anymore, physically
You both are still united in love.
Soul
A person enters a forest
To lose his mind and find
His inner self. After all,
We came from the forest
And our soul came from
The stars.
Trains
Late at night while lying
In bed I hear the plaintive
Sounds of train whistles
In the distance. They come
To railroad crossings and
Blow their horns or whistles,
Whatever you want to call
It. Lives have probably been
Saved by those loud jarring
Horns reminding people
Not to try to get across the
Tracks before the train gets
There.
Stars Everywhere
Look up in the sky at night and
Find billions of stars lighting
Up the universe. People on
Earth wish upon a star. Other
People believe their future is
In the stars. Stars are used by
Sailors to navigate the seas.
We have given names to all
The stars. We would be lost
Without the twinkling stars.
Rondeau
Glowing and quivering creature
In the night gripping on a branch
This glowing mass, terrible animal
In the night gripping on a branch
Glowing and quivering creature
Spirits or Fog?
Set far back off the street is the
Woodmere State Hospital for the Insane
A large metal fence surrounds the hospital
Giving it the look of a prison
On foggy nights when driving through the
Park one can swear they see detached bodies
Of fog crossing the road
Recently they found a small cemetery for
Patients who died while there at Woodmere
Their spirits appear to remind us not to
Forget about them
Experience
The experience was like a
wicked velvet tongue
before the dam broke…
block parties go all night,
I just gather peonies and
moonlight and save
them for another
evening
