HOLD ON FOR THE MOMENT

To grasp-to cling to hold on for

the moment;

Be it a dream, idea, vision, or that which has no name, To a dream, awaking is death, to a vision blindness destroys To an idea thought corrupts, Hold on for the moment.

The dream I have held, without awaking

The idea has lasted without thought

The vision has been enjoyed without blindness

O how fortunate one can be for

the moment, no matter

how brief it may have been-Hold on for the moment.

CAN BE NO CHANCE ENCOUNTER

Once not expected again

stood there no blond dream.

Non such blond takeover since...then.

And I saw you

Quick, quiet and good.

You fondly stole my years of other fame.

In snowy repose the hoper hid, to be found in bright hiding place where the hard crest of the many stops.

So yes, there where the softer looks of some yes, the furious few coming, they came every other night.

Man you looked me through the eyes. Then in haste my tidy hopes wished only to be rid of you.

Still in New Year jokes

I left. You mirthful, with strong jaw

your wink was right, your target unseen.

Good Parma Boy.

Do not believe I left to wish but your legs.

No. I speak

the cool secrets of your kindness these to find.

A SHELL

PAT

FOR BREAKING Blow all the trumpets, ring the bells,

All outworn walls are shaking;

It is a time of breaking shells,

Have you a shell for breaking?

You have the power to

break through things

If you've the heart

for trying;

Dear shell-locked creature,

you have wings,

And they are meant for flying.
