A LOGGER’S WORLD

And again – to Patricia for everything.

MIND WORK

Why is it that I am so surprised, when I stumble upon the threshold of my wonder?
Awe leaps into eyes and ears so often
I get exhausted saying,
“Wow!”
And then too, there are those moments when lights flash, sparks fly, bells ring, heart is warmed and I realize
I have come to know something new. A mind is snapped to attention.
From anywhere something
enters its resting place and says, “Ah ha!”

AGAIN

Some time ago it was written
– we “cracked the cosmic egg.”
Following those cracks, we delved into the mystic’s paths.
“Where to now?” we ask our sodden hearts
bound in the implosive centripetal currents of our times.
We choose and choose and choose, driven by a frozen hope.
We pant and race against the pace.
