the crack of light


when we leave the day of
            hopes and fears
we enter the soft night
            a dream field with its
sadness and resignation
only to wake and
repeat the cycle again and again
            until at last we stumble
upon the crack, the sliver
            of light which will
lead us home

Light


Christmas
Solstice
the depths of Dark Winter
any light is revered
the Sun is precious
life is precious
a rose, a candle
and a smile

Penny Farthing


These two sides exist encased in each other
Don't ever take one more serious than the other
To always have a smile is false and belies the truth
Remember: Buddha is an ideal not a man and he too trod dark paths

Why this fear of the dark? This fear of the light?
Both are human — both are God given — both have a place on earth

My brother tells me every face I see is my own!
We are merely reflections of each other
He channels all the light to cover his dark
The police know where He lives and visit with firm reprimands

As He climbs his high wheeled Penny Farthing
Dons his Out of Africa Hat — He pedals firmly away
Without even a glance over his shoulder
Where behind him stand The Women .... Disturbed and Devastated
Left to sweep all his Sub-Rosa Dark
under a carpet of Frail Gossamer Light
With the forgetting wind at his face He smiles and rides on
