All Is Given

all is given
fully contained within
each time we touch
and become
all of everything

The Future

the future approaches
rattling its sword
secure the door
against approaching knight

                      David Sermersheim

If You Listen

if you listen
to the wind
whisper your name
in the space
between the leaves
you have found
the place that holds
all of everything

The Box

if
you
can't
untie
the
ribbon
don't
open
the
box

Circle of Love

                                                                 

Circle of Love

placed just so

the stone becomes

a heart 

or fallen star

catching light crystals

glistening 

in its crown

one among others

of its kind

forming a circle of love

arranged in a design

of simple things

Scene

a man stands alone
under a silver sky
a dense curtain descends
over what rests
birds call
to no answer
all is still
prepare a place
for the coming
of night

The Uncommon Thread

touching the untouchable
sensing the unknowable
wary of the unnamable

I am the song unsung
from a voice
without a name
the wish on the tip
of a kiss

the uncommon thread
binding what can't be tied
to the end
of what came before
