Dryads

Day 13 Month 5 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

dryads dancing in the trees
disappearing when
human interlopers
are passing by and then

from the trees returning
into their secret glades
joyfully they mingle
after daylight fades...

luminescent beings
flitting here and there
loved by all the creatures
in this place they share

together in a temple
open to the sky
rising up among the trees
in awe without a why...

all the natural rhythms
the phases of the Moon
reflected sunlight bouncing
create a dancing tune

the rustle of the leaves
wind moving through the heights
of the trees...just visible
the intertwining lights

of dryads dancing in the trees
disappearing when
human interlopers
are passing by again...

Accelerating

Day 11 Month 5 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

accelerating
the longer we live
faster and faster
we're held in a sieve

of time disappearing
vanishing, it's gone
yesterday's fading
and now we belong

spinning in cycles
while rising we fall
into the future
we pass through the wall

of mind's limitations
ideas we once held
lost in the ruins
of where we once dwelled

faster and faster
as winter becomes
spring's exultation
then warm summer suns

leaves in the autumn
fall to the ground
christmas then newyear's
around and around

accelerating
the longer we live
faster and faster
we take and we give

time's disappearing
soon to be gone
yesterday's fading
in now we belong
