Chaos and madness
may maim and destroy,
but Love will not fail to emerge,
perhaps like a whisper,
perhaps like the rumbling of thunder
that shakes and rattles the walls.© 2017 Dennis Ference

In the flicker of movement
caught in the spaces where shadows reside
light filters in to seek us
dreamers standing in summer breezes
paying homage to the end of days.
We hear the whisper of crossing winds
swaying palms like native skirts dancing
back and forth hypnotize
mesmerize our minds in this quiet
where peace slips in
and we find the awareness
of everything and anything
within and without.
We escape into the darkness,
journeymen taking steps
following the prints found
from those who came before
and I wonder do those who fell behind
seek out the newest indentation,
wondering who came before them
and round the cycle goes
beach walkers lost in thought
as the waves move in and out.
The ocean
exhaling as we step within
brushes our toes with its watery breath
caressing us in its motion
as we sink down in
feeling the tiny shells and…

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Barren cold and heartless world.
Fear had tarnish laughter and opportunity for friendship.
People surviving like the living dead.
Few glimpses of emotion.
People looking forward and blinded to the people around them.
We have become ghosts and alone.
Once love was the reward of a good life.
Now loneliness and separation is okay.
“One is a lonely number.”
I tell people.
Lift your eyes.
Reach for the sky.
Watch the beauty of the clouds and the sun.
Put your feet in the running river.
Sing and dance with strangers.
Nothing is lost. If nothing is gained.
A locked door.
Allowed no-one in.
One day we will wished we open the door.
Danced a thousand dances. Had a million sweet kisses tasted.

Cruel space
Upon a lost “soul” amidst
A “hunting” crowd
Filled with noise
From loud voices scattered in the air
Like bad perfume
.
Brutal
Are the well composed
Beings posed in well
Pressed shirts and dresses
With neckties to match their distress
As they
sway from Street to street
.
The air is heavy
I can barely breathe
Without thinking
Of the vast bold air that linger
On the open prairie
Of home
.
City lights shine
Upon sleepless beings
Headed every where
Or no where
They shine on me too
As I make my way
Back to the lights under the moon
Far outback.

Often
the key
to living
in the present
is forgiveness
of the past.© 2017 Dennis Ference
Inhale deeply the sweet
fragrance of kindness
whenever you come upon it
that it may one day
pour forth profusely
from within your own soul.© 2016 Dennis Ference

September whispers ,
her song-
draws in the harvest of your soul-
what you have gained,
will be brought forth.
dance to the silence hum,
of your offering-
bring in your presence,
all that you are brought to,
are changes,
as seasons change,
your changing is
moving with the colors of time,
the colors of your calling-
come move through the changes,
of you”

one looks for words
to express
what the eyes
the heart
would say
if only
they could speak
“Every time we walk along a beach
some ancient urge disturbs us
so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments
or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers
like the homesick refugees of a long war.”

“We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.
But great moments often catch us unaware –
beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.”
