JUBILANT FATHER
His face is like a sun, warms the moon beside him.
She´s grown full; tonight begins the waning.
The tide pulls through her very bones,
her form aches as each wave crests.
The earth pulse, heavy, blood warm within her
Beats new chords, old sun god chants.
"You are the first mother and the last,
all spring flesh has traveled through you."
Aztec plumed and gold beaded,
your priest kneels at the holy alter,
gathers each salt pearl shed, nectar for his sacrament.
You are the temple,
we pilgrims swept through the gates,
bent figures know the scent and petals of your presence,
spread our arms to harvest blossoms,
and your priest, sun struck, kneels beside you.
Birthday Wish Today I received a call from a friend that is very dear to me, He called to say goodbye and his soul would be set free, My friend is a wrestler, fighter, and has a black belt in Judo, But I fear He'll lose this fight with cancer he got a few months ago, At the end of our conversation He said if we never see each other again please remember All the good times we've spent And in his weak voice I heard him say I love you my brother, I love you with all my hearts content, As tears came streaming down my face I replied I love you too, and I'll never ever forget you Today I received a call from a friend, and if for only one day, I would wish for No more pain and suffering for my friend, Let it be Today, This day My Birthday
