Divine Intervention
(Haw River near Bynum, North Carolina USA)

Primordial Light

An infinite universe cradles my essence

Among whispers of the sacred and divine.
Temporal boundaries become meaningless.
I’m born-again at the hand of primordial Light.

Primordial Essence
(August 21, 2017 solar eclipse over Pittsboro, North Carolina USA)

Farewell To Summer

Late daylight grows dim over sleepy river wild

Where pinking skies aloft encourage quietude,

While whispers among carefree rush of waters

Scribe elegant poetry upon the liquid amber.

They speak of vernal snowmelt rhapsodies,

Touch on miserable dog days of summer past,

Hint at gelid flows and ice mansions of winter

And propose gaiety at coming autumn dance.

They bring up rock-strewn cataracts upstream,

Mention echoes of children at cool waterholes,

Make allusion to kinship of man and waterfowl

Fishing in boulder gardens along reedy banks.

My heart rejoices in said farewell to summer.

My soul finds bliss in ethereal touch of eternity.
