Atlantis Revisited
The black sands of Perissa
spoke today
as my feet slowly sank
in the sand,
each receding wave
sliding back under the next.
A rainbow of black appears…
Matala by Night
On Crete, the day
belonged to the sun.
I walked with sandaled Minoans
on the rocky strand by morning,
climbed the craggy peaks
to dive from Matala’s cliffs in the noon’s fiery light…
Koh Phi Phi
What would you say
to lunch on the bay
run a length of beach
snack on a peach
snorkeling till two
become one with the blue
renew
King of Kings
Here are the rocks
that jut from the ocean
in the second movement
of King of Kings…
Epitaph of a Wayfarer Poet
There remains an antique land of polished green dreams beneath a mist,
thick and clean, where great blue flutes in waves of wind sweep a waltz of Irish rain across a rocky plain, to plunder dreams in greens:
It seems-
There came a lull from seven days of Irish rain
and though my boots still wet from journey’s gain,
this antique land yet plundered my dreams and on and on…
Delve into that dream. Whatever it is you dream of… it need not fade.
