There’s something here with Lise.— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
Perceptions cast against the backdrops
of our agings and experiences
mourning patience against the morning light
Warm smiles that have seen much
shared stories of families and our lives.
The flicker of low fires against the wind.
Honesties and compassion
realisms and understandings
born of the child’s long passage
thru the others and our years
no longer preparing to conquer the world
but still deeply pressed into living it.

to meet experience as it comes
Tai Chi on the high seas
while the lightening rips.
No fear to act, none to wait,
each as appropriate.
Will to avoid the ocean of error
least you never hear
the thunder’s laughter.

and everytime.
Snapshot … trinity
Snapshot … descriptions
Snapshot … a fixed rendition
of something
which is fluid and forever renewing.
Like pilgrims returning from Mecca
we carry the fragments
of things
glimpsed and photographed.
