Ten thousand cicadasShow poetry

 

 

Welcome to my page! Thank you so much for your kind visit. May you be carried to heaven's heights and and be submerged in earth's passions while you linger here.

 

 

 

The poem below was written about my work by my dear friend Everwind Rising. I have adopted it as the theme for my page.

                        Tenchi           

    ("tenchi" is Japanese for "heaven and earth")


                Have you ever seen the rise
                of transparent wings
                (set against the azure heavens)
                filtering shafts of scintillating sun?

                Or felt their rushing currents
                while lost awhirl in featherless flutter
                wanting not for worded winds?

                Have you heard choirs
                of ten thousand cicadas
                permeate, with searching verse,
                the cadence of cloistered earth

                and layer life’s lyrics
                upon the evening’s every breeze?

                                        She Is

 

 

                            she sings to me
                            with notes from fingers
                            playing cords of words
                            delivered with harmony

                            oozing concern through
                            rising crescendos of
                            thoughtfulness

                            and I am rocked gently
                            in friendship's melody
                            like a babe in a cradle
                            with newborn eyes

                            seeing only the good of man
                            and the music of care
                            that survives only in
                            the souls of a precious few

                            her laughter needs no volume
                            for eyes shine loudly
                            of humor and spirit
                            twinkling in reflecting pools
                            of limitless intelligence

                            were creativity colors
                            each mood with radiance
                            and she gives from within
                            what others would not part
                            with outside,

                            she is ten thousand
                            cicadas
                            lighting up my life
                            with brilliance
                            bringing beauty
                            into all the empty spaces

                            she is tender as night
                            and the warmth of day   
                            and my world is better
                            simply because
                            she is...

                             Ten Thousand Cicadas

                   

                    Hum, strum of wrung Sages
                    waiting to molt their childhood play
                    by your hand, ten thousand cicadas:

                    you, who reaches for Oracle
                    on bark of a singing tree
                    in cloudless consciousness
                    of this new sky

                    eyeless eel of an egg, waited for you
                    to drag mountains, plains and earth
                    with your pen, to uncover Socratarian
                    secrets: 

                    touch me with your clean hands,
                    go ahead, peel long years of labor
                    from this panting pitch from dark

                    for I was hypnotized by laughter,
                    by love, by life

                    and forgot I meant to write down
                    these dreams of parchment fine wings
                    held like a gem in earth
                    that would have me sing to the world
                    that we must pen all our passions

                    you tremble my trees with your soulful song
                    that quivers leaves and air with frenetic reason
                    to have Beautiful sung like praises
                    on unfolded wings…  such passionate pen, my friend
                    rings with proud riverbed groove gratitude
