What A Life This Is

      what a life this is
                eat
                drink
                sit
                sleep
                observe
                stare
                go
                no
                where
contentment exacts its price

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
