in your stardust-glimmer eyes. "

3 " She is a living, breathing work of art.
As audacious as Dali's mustache,
mysterious like a Mona Lisa smile.
As sensual as O'Keeffe's painted petals,
glorious, like a Van Gogh starry night. "

5 " A Brief Awakening

In the vastness of the out-rushing cosmos,
you are but tiny—a warm and pulsing spark.
Against all odds, your birth a brief awakening
from silent eons spent sleeping in the dark.
When you feel your heart swell with wild wonder
at the dazzling diamond chandeliers of night,
know your body was built from ancient stardust
and the universe now sees through your eyes.
So let the breath of sweet gratitude fill you,
as the light of each new day begins.
For this moment itself is a miracle,
and to live it is your privilege my friend. "

7 " Rebellious leaves
going out
in a blaze of glory,
setting trees aflame
in riotous color.
Reluctant surrender
to rumors
of coming winter. "

― John Mark Green , Taste the Wild Wonder: Poems

9 " Unseen in their flight,
wild geese faintly call,
passing high overhead,
in the depths of night.
Instinctive travelers,
on invisible highways.
I envy their lack of lostness. "

11 " The poetry I love best
has words that glimmer
like moon gold
on dark waters,
and a hidden undertow
which pulls me into
its delicate sadness. "
