Air Lifter

From above the tree line on a river of air,
I heard a piercing, repeating cry.
Glancing up it caught my eye,
outside my shotgun shack.

High flying black and grey wings
On this wind swept day.

Made me forget for an instant.

Scarce and regal creature of the sky.
the moment had passed.

Rolling on for a long time.
Another day of good fortune
All for us on wings so fast.

 




The Voyage

Pressing forward,

Narrow strait by the rolling sea,

the Peace boat crosses

the sea salt line

Splashing silently.


Fresh water breaking wave outside

Star pulled perfect time of tide

no glance granite rocks below

dangers that might never show

A melted river of curiosity

and eventually also Could Be

between high dive sky and sea.


Sent out so all could receive

the struggle gone past battled eyes

echoing ancient cries

and whisper warning to the wise:

another gifted gold sunrise.
