Deep Purple Blue
The deep hues of blue and purple
Gossamer evening veils traversing
Across the concert hall
Like wings of gliding night herons.
Highlights of piercing yellow light reflections,
Ignite vibrations within.
Up, up on the active vibrant stage
Five players sing amidst the melting fog
Weaving their voices in and out
Like threads in a Navajo blanket
Shouting “come what may...come what may...
I will love you...until my dying day.”
Sitting contemplative, enlarged in space
The music moving my internal face
Notes pushing like the wildest winds
I feel this night, don’t need more light
Encased in purple ecstasy
Lit outside by incandescent light.
The sounds of distant rain resonate
Your force, the everlasting love
So safely rooted way inside
Painted oh so carefully by me
With unvarnished color profoundly true
The depths of love- Deep Purple Blue.

The Blackbird in the Palm Tree
It’s 85 degrees and the patio door is
Slammed and locked tight.
Cool air emanates from the baseboard
As the blackbird outside
Quickly flies into the tall prominent tree.
It sways with its brilliant chartreuse fruits,
Rubbed tight to the coarse palm bark.
Five minutes later it is still there
Peering out.
As I do too, through my ancient screen,
Wondering how long each of us
Will continue to live, breathe and see
These precious idle movements of life,
Each so connected, yet in solitude
Hugging life.
