How long since the pen has fallen from the sky
to touch the paper in front of me?
It is so difficult to tell the froth
from the surge of the sea.

But, I feel it here - change and movement
are in the air.
Potentials, rearrangements, rebalancings,
new beginnings, old endings, the wind of manifestation.
A new dance is being called.

Sharon crackles with psychic energy
like the light that blazes from a door ajar
and through it all, trust and receptiveness
run like a river, soft and waiting.

Oh, beloved, let your will be done
and our dreams expressed as well
and our wills become ever more perfect reflections of yours
all inseparable, all one, all mystery,
all so alive on some edge of becoming.

A month ... and the silence has gathered.
The cars and the buses moving through the city
   are like a repeating film clip.
My busyness has eroded against the silence
   and I've seen the waste of time.
The name and parts of the days are getting lost
   and meaning fades away with them.
I chided Alan about being impaled by pointlessness -
   the old man's dilemma.
I just couldn't imagine a place
   where I couldn't find a passion and a purpose.
Like a child in a candy store,
   I've had my fill now and must remember
      where I was bound, if I can.

                              - a rainy afternoon
