sirens whir 
through the dark of night --
the cat's ears...

The whir 
and the echo
lasting flow of autos
a luring, lulling safety
that’s false....

Just a tad below 
A whisper
A delightful whir
Of May zephyr
I close my eyes
As I take it all in...

against sunset peaks
            starlings whir over wide plains-
                      shaping bold live art

engrossed in my book -
the tunes of playful robins
whir of wash-machine
        the sunless dawn, spokes
atop oaks, pines and myrtles

Springtime and Summer pass in a whir
      Autumn winds expose a raw nerve

   December frost retrieves Old Man Winter
      What's for dessert ~ I think I'll skip dinner...

chakras whir
betwixt bliss beats
no preference is assigned
to any specific energy centre
for in wholeness of being
void centric awareness
is free from concepts

Walden is far,
Unless you prefer
To open eyes, and see.

Write who you are
And who you were, 
And who you hope to be.

Chart your own star,
Your planet’s whir,
Map your own galaxy....

something within shifts
as our consciousness lifts
it feels like God’s applause
when we obey His divine laws

in truth we do nothing for this
yet are bestowed with bliss
chakras soundlessly whir
we hear our soul purr...

Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs....

The reddened riot of wine-rich sun
Spills over skies of afternoon,
And purpling-reds of the day now done
Splash!--then dissolve, so soon.

And sunset turns a violet grey
Mixing with twilight’s magic blur,
Revealing the fairy-shapes at play,
Listen!--to wings’ soft whir....

A sudden wind ripples over the staid waters
whipping around like a blustery drama queen 
flinging water droplets in its wake.
Placid pigeons are suddenly stirred
wild wings whir, along with excited coos
as the midday sun smiles through the clouds.

The repetitive saw of metal against metal,

The bashing of steel for designs,

The whir of the copper polished

And the hiss of the patina finished.

The file and sandpaper rasping on the brass

The noise all around

The hammers they pound,

As we create our own sound....

Ah!  This rusted brain!
(I lost the instructions too.)
Now, the whir and spin
of cognitive, liquid thoughts,
just grind cogs to snaps of smoke.

Ah! I can't complain!
(Lack of use is true to blame)
TV thoughts do rust
Advertisments do congeal
'till once, what spun, is silent....

Bindu brightens, all nodes aglow
It’s the bliss elixir
Imbibed by souls, in stillness slow
Chakras begin to whir

For pure hearts, free from sin
Magic unfolds within
Bliss throbbing on our skin

Rapture heightens
Bindu brightens

Waning sun sinks slow, makes
western sky chromatic.
Wings of lured butterflies
whir susurrus of spring,
waking up blooming buds.
Waltzing wind flows past me, 
whispers music of joy.

The reddened riot of the sun wine-rich 
Spills over skies of afternoon,
And done the purpling-reds of the day 
Splash!   So soon then they dissolve.

And sunset turns a violet grey
Mixing with twilight’s magic blur,
Revealing the playful fairy-shapes 
Listen!  To the whir of soft, soft wings....

Blue feathered beauty
of stained glass design
your song in the wind 
is a whir and a whine.
Impatient and weary 
of limbs swept and bare,
you tighten your grip 
to unbosom a jeer
or bob from your perch
to rattle a cry
that bristles the crest 
of a soul mate nearby.

    She opened the box
       a dove flew out
    nestling down on her shoulder

    A twinge of pain shot through her
       sore conscience all a-whir 
    When was the last time
       she’d called on Monsieur … 

    The dove flapped her wings
       then flew away
    A note fell from her beak
      ‘Rendezvous ~ a year from today’

   Radio’s on loud at the crack of dawn
      though it blared to the full moon too

   A couple of fans whir all day
      though it’s mostly hot air they spew

   A goldfish drifts belly-up in her bowl
      dirt-clouds laze past the coral and shoal

   The pall of her death stifles the air
      where once breathed a maiden so fair

You return in sequences;
peripheral memories nod
like wire-sprung dipping birds.

Your ruby-dark triangle
the V of your asking,
an opiate of drenched blooms.

I am reprising scenes
cut from any official showing.

Senses lost in a long darkened cinema,
and I cannot make it back
until unscented by your ghost.

Scenes whir on
under closed eyes....

Never in the land of water and whir,
Had there ever lived such a mermaid pure.
Her scales were the loveliest of all the colors.
She was the envy of many mothers.

When we got to know her and saw her love
We knew she was graced with blessings above.
She had earned her colors, and she lived her truth.
She exuded peace and unity, our fair mermaid, Ruth....

We encircled her
That February day.
Amid sustaining whir 
She lay.

Had I known
The hollow was to come
I’d be there still
Hearing the hum.

Her feet were cold
I tried to warm them
She lay so still
Mine own sweet gem.

Her brain they said
Beyond all function.
The friar led the
Extreme unction.

Oh damn that day
With its bright big sun
We loved the snow.
Look what it’s done....
