The Chase
In dreams you slide into view,
tip your hat, wink and soft shoe into
the night’s blanket of deep blue.
I trail after you for thousands of miles
over continents and deep green seas,
my soul locked within your sly smile.
Hitching a ride on a bobbing red balloon,
it carries me weaving in the wake of comets,
I slip dreamily past the laughing yellow moon.
Chasing you down the Milky Way,
I tangle in the myriad dust of stars, only
to lose you to the rude wakefulness of day.

Sample Poem From the CD
FOREST OF YOU
You, who do not yet exist,
entice me into your woods
walk me through
the dendrochronolgy of your splintered
past. Whisk moss across my face
caress me with your tender grasses
because in the final season
the dead winter arrives
furiously
