NEW (CYCLES)


two lights in a kiss:
birth of bliss
and change.
nature, never amiss
reveals how rife
is life
how much strife
is due.

in motion, they are set
sun and moon to beget
a duet:
breakthroughs.
nature’s call for progression
with no fear
or aversion,
teaching the value of emersion.

two lights in farewell:
sign of dwell.
an eclipse:
sky’s yell
not to mourn
or lorn,
‘cause again will be born
that which animates.
