darkness
do you see the hidden figures
a poster for a movie not yet made
do you see the darkness indwelling
or is evil always the other
restlessly grasping and intruding
as you cling to pristine visions
of the you-self that is not your self
Seeking Symbols
when I stare at you
I feel shapes and colors
I have not seen before
old icons no longer touch my heart
green and orange gradients
dancer abstractions, bold thick lines
you are not a cross
you are not a tree of life
you are something new
sometimes i want it simple
sometimes the blossoms dance
