green

Green meadows in my dreams
the blue seems to rise in the fog

a black bear, a black crow
a white dove, a red and blue dotted frog

secrets buried in the hills
they are as seeds
they have transformed
giving birth to everything
and nothing.  

i am alone again
after your nightly visitation
in this morning
a waking of star speckled sleep.

so much time has passed
i only recognize the shells

i string together pictures
as prayer flags in the wind
the wind horse is now flying
into a forbidden land
guarded by the power
of our careful prayers
sent so high.

and the curses fall
the red meat a feeding for the crows
as the dragons breath of fire
illuminates everything.

a red and blue dotted frog
the colors of the wild
poison
it's blood and veins nourish
a potion a medicine - like a prayer
for survival.  Ah, the beauty
and the cruelty of life.

my moments with you are
moments in practice
perfect thoughts
divine, without hesitation
i challenge your prayers
i challenge your survival
so that as the dotted frog
your carefully selected poison
can reflect accurately
the nature of the enemy heart.
