Day After Day & Whales
Day After Day
day after day after day after day
hour after hour after hour
minutes keep taking the seconds away -
time has a fleeting power
invisible fingers hold us in place
making us all believe
that we must stay in time's embrace
at least until we leave
certainty tells us we're not here for long
falling asleep each night
remembering always that we all belong,
basking in heavenly light
day after day after day after day
from time with its fleeting power
there's always a chance to get away
every minute of every hour
as minutes keep taking the seconds away
time has a fleeting power
within the spaces between where we play
in moments in any hour

Whales
whales emerging from the ocean
dolphins too in graceful motion
filled the bay, a dream last night,
from which I woke and now I write
beneath canopies of leaves turned golden
in autumn sun becoming cold in
the endless cycle of the seasons
weather always has its reasons
Earth keeps wobbling up and down
ice keeps melting as we drown
in tidal waves of raw emotion
'til whales emerging from the ocean
fill the emptiness inside
reaching in to where we hide,
telepathically interweaving
something shimmering before leaving
