The Thirtieth Day

The sun sets on a month of blogging...

Icy Fingers Copyright © 2005 Stan Crocker

The Twenty Ninth Day

Icy fingers reach across
Liquid becoming stone

In time

Measured by degrees
Dipping diving down

Expanding

Pulling all things in
Letting no thing out

Universes

Gravitate towards
One another

Collapse

Mt Parnassus Copyright © 2005 Stan Crocker

The Twentieth Day

Call me up un-scalable Mount Parnassus
Draw me in with a song sung by a muse
Cast a net keep time with a timbrel drum
Dance the indolent

Break the form of Sapphic verse and universe
Dash it break it at the feet of gods
Be your own self utter only words that say
Smash the prevailing form

Shout the name of those at the summit peak
Laud their words and praise them continually
But be thy self and find a voice that suits just you
Sing your uniqueness

Art Copyright © 2005 Stan Crocker

The Nineteenth Day

Art
Cannot be
Until set free
By brush stroke
Or music's air
Sculptor's hand
Or teachers fair

Art
Cannot be
Until set free

The Eighteenth Day

Sometimes we heed the signs... sometimes we don't.

I Am Bound By Copyright © 2005 Stan Crocker

The Seventeenth Day

I am bound by
Tangled
Twisted
Mobius form
Lashed to human frailty born

I am bound by
Human-ness
To fail
To falter
To transgress
Against another bound the same

Yet I am loosed!
By Gordian knot
That binds in
Birth
Life
Death
For we are one in these three things

And if we loose this thought on all
Who lose the life
Between the two
We braid the tangled
Twisted form
Strands we strum Into accord

At the Edge Copyright © 2005 Stan Crocker

The Thirteeth Day

At the edge of our awakening
Dreams behind us life before
To we to us
To we to they
Birds regard another morn

Feel the pulse of new creation
Push and pull
And drum and do
Revel all in revelation
Life is full another morn

At the edge of our departing
Life behind us dreams before
To day to night
To here to there
Death is life another morn

Carry light with you and you will not be able to find a dark place.

Water Copyright © 2005 Stan Crocker

The Eleventh Day

I can live without it
I cannot live without it
I cannot live within it
I can live within it

Be it under me
Be it in me
Be it over me
Be it near me

It is what I am
Until it invades what I am
Most of me
Not all of me

It is life
It is death
It is resurrection

Each two owe
Its life
Water
