2009 Poems:  Dreamcatcher


Dream Catcher #7

Geometric Dreams

Dreams

within hopes

within dreams

solidifying

essence

off absolute void

formulating

the building blocks

of possible futures

while casting off

the seeds

which grow

if tended carefully

into  what should be

our better natures

Dream Catcher #6

Effervescence

Collapsing

folding

tumbling

through time

and space

the fractured

connections

melt and reform

bubbles seeking

minimalism

clasping securely

as much form

as can be

remembered

while embellishing

with renewed hopes

and refreshed dreams

Dream Catcher #5

Fractured Hope

Designs expand

replicating

inexactly

stretching

the fabric

of existence

until it shatters

Shards compress

in an optimistic

but perhaps

unattainable

quest

for a stable

future

Dream Catcher #4

Living Wings

Wings spread

designs of life

unfolding

between the filaments

as the tapestry

is woven

out of sparkling threads

against the background

of the void

Dream Catcher #3

Blooming Bliss

Bliss created

from stardust

memories

seeds coalesce

from strands

of time

and shed

their husks

creating space

to weave

the threads

in the tapestry

of existence

Dream Catcher #2

Snagging Wisps

Strands of stardust

woven spacetime

arranged to collect

better days

true emotions

radiant ideas

clasping truth

in the clutches

of abstraction

to be spilled

when bleeding

is necessary

Dream Catcher #1

Aspiration

Hopes and dreams

of a better future

might be captured

in designs which

simultaneously

register

the disappointment

of a second-rate

present

and the struggle

to escape

the entanglements

of a past

constructed

out of ignorance

2009 Poems


Dividing Wall

Slip Sliding Away

Times…days

come and go

when you worry

about slipping

off your high perch

at the top of the cliff

you euphemistically

call a slope

that separates

you from us

I guess you worry

about ending up

where we are now

having to worry

about what we do

about having to climb

upward

to have a chance

to survive

to gain a handhold

on a place

in your society

hoping you don’t

stomp on our fingers

The slippery slope

is too often

a melting cliff

of ice

maybe carved

out of your hearts

2009 Poems


Contact

Compare and Contrast

This space is vast

with room for all of us

to try to live

fulfill our dreams

yearn for love

pursue happiness

The difference

between us

is that some

hate the others

and it is not us

2009 Poems


Ruby for Slippers

Parade

One step

at a time

one foot

in front of the other

ever forward

marching

for equality

here

for justice

now

for honor

of our heroes

for freedom

to be ourselves

Heads held high

we march in pride

for a better future

2009 Poems


Illumination

Long Dark Tunnel

For years

we quivered

in our personal caves

until we found

our personal lights

our inner torches

that led us out

into a tunnel

still dark

so very murky

sinister warnings

slithering in the corners

warning us to go back

away from the danger

of being ourselves

Every so often

there has appeared

a brightness

in the distance

the dream of equality

for us to chased

only to see the light

extinguished

too rapidly

hopes dashed

at least for awhile

but we have kept pushing

forward

hoping the dreams

could avoid becoming

nightmares

Once more

lights shine

and we wonder

if this time

we will reach

the daylight

before our aspirations

burn

in a political

conflagration

not of our making

Will we ever be free?

2009 Poems


Cleaving

Double Meaning

Divided we fall

into the abyss

of darkness

hated

for being Other

our difference pitied

treated no better

than animals

We can allow

the axe of intolerance

to separate us

from the support

we need

or we can

cling to those

who will celebrate

with us

the meaning

of our lives

Cleave

has two meanings
