poem of the day March 31


The blue moon set in western sky
just as the morning sun began to rise
Light to light bathed all night long
the torch of angels lit the ground
I faced due south like a pillar of stone


to wait for Jesus to come home

poem of the day March 30


We visit time each second
unable to stay any longer
then a brief moment
These visits of our living 
are washed full of memories
clinging like sails to the past
Lives always flapping but mostly unaware
Long tiny ships move with the wind
as time breaks into the ice of the future

poem of the day March 29


Last night I was watching
jets fly in the sunset sky
Watching the way their plume trail 
merged with the late light clouds
They appeared to come together
to form a huge canopy tree
a huge wonderful omnipotent tree
that washed over me like a vision


of what can be within the same eternity

poem of the day March 29


Patches of brown
with a hint of green
framed  by old snow
melting the old meadow
Watching my dogs chase mice
while living their dream life
Just another early spring painting 
of an old New England farm


Colonial house with timber framed barn

poem of the day March 27


"Don't be a guest along the way"
mind complained to body as mind dragged
its out of shape aching glob of life around
like a unwanted stubborn dog reluctant 
to do anything but bark from the depth


of mind's own homemade sinking age hole

poem of the day March 26


Robots are now arranging
humans marriages 
Steel matchmakers
armed with artificial intelligence
are able to tell the future
better then a band of gypsys
Able to predict lasting relationships 
just by interpreting heart data
without the worry of silly emotions


getting caught in the beats of love

poem of the day March 25


I wish I was a maple tree
on a sunny spring day
feeling the sap
rush up my back
from the center of the earth
all the way to heaven
with nothing more in mind
than the desire to follow the sun

poem of the day March 24


The God of art

teaches the soul of
primordial expression
Random gestures 
Spontaneous interpretation
of divine sublime perfection 
From where
From when
First cave man
to first grader
The ideas are
born from blooms from within

poem of the day March 23


Changing your door
to swing from in to out
is very profound


It changes the direction
to open possibilities
but only if one is able
to break the familiar pattern
of swimming inside
stale thought of themselves

poem of the day March 22


A couple of old boy scouts
were still able to go
out in the woods
to light a magic fire
with nothing but a single match
some birch bark and dry branches
So glad we still have wild trees


alive in the twenty first century

poem of the day March 21


Does not really
feel like spring
Cold and still
farm full of snow
yet the Earth 
is here again
At the equinox 
fully centered
angled to the sun
Half way between
the twixt of time
enjoying a joke
on human kind

poem of the day March 20


In the middle
between two ends
is where compromise begins
Take all the anger
throw it away
spit it to heaven
get out of the way
Warm all the frozen
with the heat of the heart
melt away fear
that starts at the top
Grow all courage from
the soils of Earth
let waters be rivers
rushing confidence to stars
remember true happiness
is rarely found at the bar
So take all these sayings 
love what your seeing
allow yourself the wave of well being

poem of the day March 19


The smoke behind the mirror
attracted little flame
It was only a birthday candle in the igloo
shinning on cold walls
Weak but strong enough
to reflect icy light on
fog frozen souls consumed


by the refection of others

poem of the day March 18


Walking in the valley
between mountains
on every side
Tips full of volcanoes
raining down on
random lives
The lava comes
from deep within
Golden light to touch
the fire of a soul
The question I have
for everyone
Is what the light 


does or does not hold?

poem of the day March 17


A car too full riding twenty
drove roads of hardly any
Far off hills  flush with many
would not give even a penny
which made car driving twenty
run out of life in land of plenty

poem of the day March 16


The universe is full
of the essence of love
where we can all join
in joyful happiness
but only if we allow ourselves
to open our pumping heart
I think the best way


is to point each beat in the right direction

poem of the day March 15


I heard tell
of a special room
up in the sky


with perfect pitch
Just a  breath 
in and out 
of life and death
Where all one has 
is the skill of will
Seat belt on
Seat belt off
Hike the ball
above the cross
Walk the angel 
but tie your rope
tightly with the knot of hope

poem of the day March 14


A little piece of the grind
The daily tax of time
Each day wearing away 
the ever moving present
A silent carver carving each moment
with or without the wood block knowing


Such is the art of the grand master

poem of the day March 13


The angels of  snow
follow wind's direction
with no life on their own
Blowing flakes falling North to south
A million drops of tiny wings
flutter without much sound
I watch a sugar bucket on a maple tree
get covered with pure fresh virginity
And I think to myself 
I would like to be 
You would like to be
We all want to be 


covered in the clarity of pure purity

poem of the day March 12


Pulling a canoe up a stream
makes very little sense
unless it is part of a dream
where I am sure 
it makes perfect sense
but unfortunately I woke up
without a clear mandate
about water or drops of time

poem of the day March 11


Chasing the future
in a driver-less car
gives more time for 
day dream folly
Allowing one to concentrate
more on their personal delusion
Without the distraction 
of having to drive with your hands on the wheel
Without the distraction
of having to navigate the present to get where you are going

poem of the day March 10


First pick of the pack
is not necessarily
the best of the pack
Much depends on the picker 
Their mood, the color of the sky
Sometimes the mind gets cloudy
Sometimes the mind sees
clearly the delusion of perfection
shining like a red rose
in a field of gold
I heard it say to pick 
blindly with eyes open
One must make sure
their subconscious


is tapped into the milky void

poem of the day March 9


I want the light beings
to light my way
to see the grand tunnel
Millions of light beings
All kinds of future-past
illuminating understanding
where connections beyond
the the normal realms
of  mortal love exist


without expectations

poem of the day March 8


If the familiar walk
brings us to the same
familiar place each and everyday
And if that place is not where
we want to be
Then it is time
to choose another road 
one that is able to lighten our load

poem of the day March 7


The snow started
sometime before dawn
falling from heaven
so white and pure
just like the robes 
of a mystic 
Enlightenment spilling from
the third eye
silently covering
the waiting earth
I see the flecks
merge with life
covering the meadow
with a freshly woven blanket 


of unconditional love

poem of the day March 6


Water and Sand
were playing on the beach
the old game of in and out
up and down surge of simplicity
building blocks full of zen pebbles
being tossed like grains of mingling time
brought together each moment
to build an ever changing shore


for both mortals and divines

poem of the day March 5


Inside  the eyes
of the present
wearing glass shades of  already passed
The circles bends 
before the future 
What will I do?
What will you ask?
Will karma walk within the lines?
Something to thing about
when sailing into windy waters


with only a mast of maybe perhaps

poem of the day March 4


Out of control guillotines

were being blamed
for chopping off heads
and throwing them
right and left
into dark baskets
well decorated  with dead roses
that grew on graves
owned by those who had
already lost their mortal minds

poem of the day March 3


Those wings
we keep in order
to have flying dreams
sometimes need to
be flapped to make sure
they are ready to fly


when we jump off the cliff

poem of the day March 2


A day later
and winter has returned
A nor'easter 
covering everything
Not a fit night out
for man nor beast
Though the dogs and I
are about to do just that
Go outside with a stick and hat


to feel the snow as it comes back

poem of the day March 1


A new first day
The beginning of March
Hope you have a good month
Hope you have a good year
I don't know 
where you are
but I am here
and will be 


for the rest of Rabbit day
