wildcard




by Shannondoah

wildcard

sometimes
the Universe
gives us
a wildcard

mine is you

wild love
wild heart

greatness beyond 
All there Is

sweet

wildcard

perfect one




by Hafiz Persia (Iran)

Only
that Illumined
One

who keeps
seducing the formless into form
had the charm to win my
heart.

Only a Perfect One
who is always
laughing at the word 
two

can make you know

of love.

speaking of





by Shannondoah

speaking of
love and time

my love 
for you
is beyond time

beyond
universes upon
universes

so vast
it can never
be explained

my love
deeper than
every ocean
there
ever was

my remembering
your everything
and all we
are
as one

unity song
hearts melody
love strings

and the drum 
beat
echoing
our soul’s
rhythm

dream visions
tell our stories

crossing bridges
meeting

every time

today



by Billy Collins ‘Today’

If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze

that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house

and unlatch the door to the canary’s cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,

a day when the cool brick paths
and the garden bursting with peonies

seemed so etched in sunlight
that you felt like taking

a hammer to the glass paperweight
on the living room end table,

releasing the inhabitants
from their snow-covered cottage

so they could walk out,
holding hands and squinting

into this larger dome of blue and white,

well, today is just that kind of day.
