Mind’s Monsoon

In a world of strangers

©2010 by Howard Paley

Where we haven’t ever met

I bow to your greatness

Am I lucky enough to get wet

For when creative thunder

Hits so close to home

Be it a painting, a story, or photo

Even an infinitesimal poem

Then genuine arms of greatness

Surround with [...]

Safe Kitty

From this safe place

©2010 by Howard Paley

My window…

My perch, my abode

Shut in securely behind glass

I spy, I see, I peer

At those that venture out

Courageous ones

Willing to take on the world

Unafraid…

Not shy, nor quiet nor

A little scared like me…

Queen of the Night

Protected

From the prying eyes of man

Lighting the way in darkness

Seemingly for a heartbeat

To confirm for non-believers

The true existence of God.

 

The Cereus queen awakens

For only a few hours

Permitting us to gently breathe in her light

Her smile…

 

…the bees drink in her nectar before dawn

when almost [...]

San Juan Windows

 

Deserted windows

Empty now

         no one looking out.

No sounds of children playing.

No birds resting

          waiting for a crumb of bread.

No poets

          sitting on your ledge,

          watching goings on

          on streets below.

Reporting to the world beyond

          passionate fantasies.

Dreams…

          as yet untold.

Why do [...]

Memories of Pearls

*for Mindy Shapiro (the pictures of Mindy’s Inspirations can also be found on Facebook)

 

 

There are seasons I wear scarlet

with silver dangling from my ears

that make sounds so faint

they reminisce,

like whispers from the leaves

of my childhood Autumn, and

tastes of cherry Manischewitz

at Passover.

 

Then the [...]

Be Still My Heart

 

©2010 Howard Paley "Stillness at Dawn," Sedona, AZ

The photographer calls me

Echoing God’s voice as it reverberates

Against red walls of stone

A sculpture of magical vistas whisper

Dewey dawns of morning light

Amethyst blush of babies cheeks

Ochre shades of foxes’ tails

Raccoon eyes that see the night

Become [...]

Comfort Food

Maple, oak, aspen are going to sleep till spring

Leaving behind a comforter of leaves

In colors created by angels above the clouds

Who sneak down before dawn

With brushes held in pockets in their wings

Dropping leaves of scarlet, tangerine, and lemon

Leaves to warm the roots below, the earth above

Even Sandia Mountain [...]

Denim Blue Days

Denim blues on fences painted

Jackalope Fences ©1996 by Joshua Liberman

Ready for a party

    of skulls & wooden angels

Hung on nails, left to wither…

Adorn the roadside

where we stop to buy chilies and beer

Just past the right turn of the Rio Grande.

Purple blue mountain ranges

              divide horizons

Pointing North [...]
