Vocal Spirit

The focal point of his Spirit
The man was vocal
In most every regard
The pursuit of astute phrases
Beguiled his appetite
Even in the midst of silence
The poet’s soul, a local bard
And extraneous verbiage
A mirror with two sides

Melody runs beneath it

Ganesha’s Dance

His musical  spirit
Reflects that
Of dancing Ganesha
Once Ganesha gets moving
It’s like perpetual motion
His trunk flying
His belly bouncing
So it is with a song
In his musical mind

Jai Ganesha!

Vocal Spirit

The poet’s soul, a local bard

Melody runs beneath it

Dancing Bug

Little bug was so pleased
with soulful eclectic funk
he had discovered in himself
while preparing for the day

that he practically
danced right on past his destination
before he realized it…

Oh, Happy Storm!

A big joyous sound swelled forth
from lips and instruments
like a huge wave
in a happy storm

People dancing in the aisles
waving arms and wagging heads

Young and old alike
jubilant, energized
filled with holy Spirit

Awake, aware, alive!
