as the glorious elements
by Tanner Brockwell

as the glorious elements
first is rain that sprinkle
turns into a torrent
the progenitor and invoker
the pattern that falling rises
falls and rises the dim memory of waves
that lapping comfort
as if at some summer edge
where winds lifted fabrics
in the breeze in between
running down the wooden planks
towards the shore
sweeping dunes domed sloping
of repose of relief of here and among
the tropics are a place
the air is moving and it is a place
the sunlight rays covering all

knowledge as

knowledge as
by Tanner Brockwell

knowledge as
the fog of sleep
lifted by streams of dawn
rushing around
the roar of life
pulse beat sound of the interior
lifted out shaking the world
there is life in the pulse
there is life between the beats
they reverberate
the world trembles
in the in early dawn
as dark skies sliding away
to be infused with the glow
of rosy dawn of rays glinting
through the crystals floating
they are tiny
and unique

there beyond the boundless

there beyond the boundless
by Tanner Brockwell

there beyond the boundless
the feelings surround
caress that flight of fancy
like wings of softest butterflies
beating tremble that tiny
pulse of life fragile soft
infused with the clockworked tick
of life moving forward
a stroke they fall moving
in a whisper and rise
they are the silent kind
before leaping
a somersault a flit
a fly and gliding passing by

erect this edifice

erect this edifice
by Tanner Brockwell

erect this edifice
stated stately states
in unspoke utterance
the sign and kind
the waving of these drafted lines
laid low upon
foundations strong
the building rising
as rising long long long
up to some over lofty height
there amongst the whited lit light
clouds swirling whirl and turn
there where feathered beats
beating throb and lifting higher
the feathered friends are flyers
are soaring on this vision see
they soar amongst the glass metal spires
they noble dwell they nobly fly
oft as they are emissaries or messengers
or sometime simply mute
passing above beyond low sight
they continue on their mighty flight

shell beach shell moon

shell beach shell moon
by Tanner Brockwell

shell beach shell moon
shell cry over high
the flush rose of surf
kisses the undulation
that scintillating rise
the dashing cover of skies
draped down rolling
the unfolding unfolded
the motion as a mystery
and rays like dappled dots
come spreading as in deeper thoughts
would i smooth unfurl
unhesitant to find a gem
a treasure without measure
without the interior
internal inside in a ways
and find the soft rippling beat
the silken stroke of wings
that pulsing wing
to rise and sing
here amongst the breath
is paused is breathed again

put on your dancing

put on your dancing
by Tanner Brockwell

put on your dancing
where the pulse
is new
where the breath
is true
this throng
among the fallout
from the last song
lasting as if ever long
into this the new newest song
new to you to me to all we see
this motion moving more than that
the song is moving as we move to that
to this to the feel of lingering bliss

depths of winter

depths of winter
by Tanner Brockwell

depths of winter
many times
the depths of winter
were colder
or warmer
depends upon
the changing season
different now
feels the same
the wind whips the snow
into drifts of odd shape
with etched glyphs
the invisible hand
written with dust
blown with dust
dusted swirls whirling
the transition between
noon and midnight
blue tinged
the soaring sight
upon the world waves
sailing in the dark
clouded peaks
the sound is roaring
the pulse is pounding
this night will never end

let me tell you

let me tell you
by Tanner Brockwell

let me tell you
about bliss
this is simple
relax home
going home
go to that point
where you find
your centered
source of power
your power
supporting you
renewing you
a firecy furnace
glowing warmth
that kindling glow
beyond a spark
but a fiery
outburst of feeling
where what is real
is reeling lead
a line by bobbing
line that caught
and carefully
with tender thoughts
was a lesson once
or a lesson taught

tonight sleep like a rock

tonight sleep like a rock
by Tanner Brockwell

tonight sleep like a rock
that soul deep in
where gathered shelter
is your refuge
this is your soothing
dreams that enter within
are the dream that’s in
every fiber laid flat
smooth over the surface
tingling with excitement
your dreams are welcome
and in they are that dream
deep inside inside in go
to sleep as you would
in that moment between
two potentials dusk to dawn
