What I shall carry
with me this dew bright passage
is the truth of you
all life long as we
roll and slide and lift right up
the covers, the heat
of us one meshed heat.
All love's air belongs to us.
So do all love's dreams.

The poem was written in response to Rachel's poem One Day posted on her Waxing Moon blog. *click here*
This is a later performance Peter, Paul, and Mary did, a cover of the John Denver song. I didn't much care for John as a performer but he was hands down a crackerjack composer. This song was featured in the Bruce Willis movie Armageddon, a rather amusing segment. It might be worth checking it out. You can click on it next after this performance is done but it might not make sense if you don't know the movie.
Happy Valentine's Day. I am in love with so many women. Most of you know who you are.

The chicken crossed the road. That's poultry in motion.
Some years ago my poetry took on a mythic flavor and I became a character in my own poems, a mage, "the man of the Northern Wall". This apellation is not completely fictional. My middle name is Noordwal, a Dutch term for north wall, though in current Dutch it mainly means north bank as in riverbank. I was told that an ancestor, a Portugese Jew escaping the Inquisition, settled in a small Dutch town and took this name from where he settled, near the north wall of the town. I have thought for a long time that -wal meant wall, think my mother told me that. A linguist might say that my usage is no longer common, is an older usage, but then the Inquisition happened in Portugal a few centuries ago, right around the time the Moors lost control of the Iberian Peninsula and the Jews lost the modest protection given them by Islam. Now I write as this mage, my poetry persona.
Mechanical designer for industry, now retired, once a Bay Area Hippie, went undercover in 1972, I've been writing poetry for years.
