POETRY II
By D.L. Finn
ICICLES
The icicles
dangle downward
Reaching for
the substantial snow
Each drop
bringing them closer
As the
landscape merges into itself
It is silent
in its existence
Until a
raven reveals itself
Wondering
what’s in the trash
Yet, the
moment remains peaceful
Sitting and
surveying in the chill
An instant
promising potential
When there
is no celerity
When
crackling fires call
When
surroundings are concealed
Soon, the
renewal will be revealed
But now it’s
the stage of contemplation.
For
sustenance
For solace
For soul
To live on
our abundance of the past
This is the
gift of the snow
When we can
replenish our hearts
In the
silence of the icicles.
FREEDOM
(Musings from the back of a Harley)
The freedom
of the blue skies
Welcome us warmly
back
Our path is
asphalt
Our vehicle
a mechanical horse
Our guide is
the wind
Lush green
walls soar
The sun
illuminates the way
Oaks are
waking up after a long nap
And I…
I fill my
soul
With
nature’s flowering renewal
Bursting
with beauty and abundance
In the
freedom of spring.
WHERE THE RIVERS MEET
Roaring white, pounding the granite
Swirling,
swelling, splendor
The air is
heavy with anticipation
It blows
over me like a lover’s touch
Filling my
heart with sweet floral ecstasy
I relax into
the experience
Each breath
carries away my worries
My eyes fill
with abandonment
As the
rushing liquid serenades me
Singing the
praise of this paradise
Until the
different directions converge
After a
brief resounding rumble
They combine
and continue on their way
Leaving the
moment where the rivers meet.
OCEAN
As I sit
perched up high on our lanai
Comfortable
on my recliner in the shade
The ocean
draws my gaze
Its sapphire
and emerald water calls me
While the
blue pool floats in its space—uninviting
I hear the sea’s
song as it smashes onto the shore
The surfers
ride its motion
The
snorkelers gaze into its depth
And the
swimmers float on its perception
Our
attraction is undeniable
Opposites:
one of air, one of water
It beckons,
and I must respond
Offering
myself up to the hidden world
Under the
cerulean summon
I answer, embracing the ocean completely.
