Closer

Do you daydream of Coffee
When it is night
Too late in the night
Imprudently so?

Do you long for Daylight
For earlier Light
That Caffeine’s first kiss come soon
I do

Miner’s Pick-ax

We wonder about whether to pursue the gold, giv’n to many of us as our birthright.
What of the cost, where ought we place it for safekeeping?
Sometimes wisdom begs, shouldn’t we be satisfied with silver?
Eureka! I thought this morning so loud you surely heard me.
Is the gold we claim our own? Increasingly we learn…it’s all somebody else’s alloy. An alchemist had been before us. Pouring trickery, then pulling heartstrings.
I, myself, thank the illusionist for that sweetest Summer. Warm, golden, nothing but refreshing theory. I laugh now and see the moving, invisible hand.
Take we back our minds and hearts. Go forth to the drivers seat, the miner’s pick-ax in hand. Seek silver!

The Ring

I imagine
Viscerally so
The blows would arrive
As if from the Andes
On albatross wings
Swift, strong, strategic
Were I to stand again

But I toss my hat
I await a bell
You will not hear

Answerer

I saw him as dallying
In the rain
‘though so what if he was
That little old soul
That curious soul
When what was it, Actually
‘cept pursuing The truth
The absolute truth
The noblest of things….
