PROFOUND
steeping in deep blue
berry red fluttering round:
windows have been found

COUNTDOWN
rocky track along the gap
the sky ripping open
a cup full of white sunshine
look look
honeysuckle blossoms gold and berries red
climbing wild through fences
look look
the letters on the wild boar's back
spell your name

TRANSITION
timeless out of bounds:
blood red glows the flow of life
honeysuckle fruit

MORNING DRAGON CHANT
the plumed serpent rises
and shift-shapes into a crazy flower
chanting with Jim's voice:
I want the World and I want it NOW

SOFTLY
I am the wild wind
Let me blow your mind away
Softly, so softly

HARVEST MOON
how to greet the harvest moon:
with five cool kisses from a branch
fruit sweet heavy softly picked
chanting HEY HEY all the while
as the power of the bear stirs within me
I reach for the harvest moon
and the star underneath
and the world at my feet
and all seems so right so right to the bear within
to the wolf within
to the raven before me
to the falcon above
to the swan in my heart

RED BERRIES
YES
I won't say a word about red berries
nor will I mention the delights of harvesting
after a long hot summer's nurturing
YES
I won't describe the taste of the apples
falling from drooping branches
in the golden hazy afternoon

GRACEFUL PERIL
knowing smiles and warm embraces
wrap up and hide a melting-pot
a cauldron a furnace a fire within
blue as ever the archangel's cloak
yellow bright his flashes of insights
life is perilous grace fatal embrace velvet and lace
life is grace

RED-LEAF HAIKU
berries so merry
bramble tangle fruitfully:
indian summer song
a rusty leaf fell
its five-fingered perfection
lives on forever
