'bat's fly too' timothy r gates, 2/02/2009

her face shows
no fear
free flight
with the bats
not in the belfry
but not away for her thoughts
the moon's light sufficient
for praise
but so much more, for her,
is the silhouette
of the bat
who flies too.

'the sun's awakening' timothy r gates, 2/02/2009

The sun
rises
as the moon
shines
we sing to the
hills
paramount mountains
i see her
dance
free like hippies of my
youth
age of Aquarius
here
darkness' pretense
hisses
'hope is delusion'
sways in the clouds
paintings
i jump into her innocence
playing
the sun shines in the morning's
awakening.
