THE POEMS OF DOC JANNING


TOGETHER

I awaken
as from a dream
to see You

dreaming

beside Me.
Drawing you close
I feel You breathe.
Morpheus calls,
I close my eyes,
as I nestle
and spoon
to dream

with You.

MY STAR

I look at you.
You are
the only star
in
my darkest
night.
I touch you,
and
your skin
floods me
with flame.
I hug you,
and
your arms
enfold me
with love
I kiss you,
and
you become
the life
which fills
my soul.

ALTAR STONE II—ASCENT

I lie upon the warm, blue-black stone
my skin
 one
 with its surface,
its ancient, star-born aura
flowing
 into me,
 filling me.
The stars,
the stars call.
I close my eyes to begin
with deep, centering breaths.
I count down,
down
 to
 zero.
My body,
my mind,
 my soul
relaxing,
calming,
 readying.
Gathering my energies
letting go the shackles
shedding now my body
and my earthly bonds
 the Universe.
 into
I ascend

AN OHIO POEM

It's winter in Ohio,
And the gentle breezes blow,
Seventy miles an hour,
At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love Ohio,
When the snow's up to your butt,
You take a breath of winter air,
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
So I guess I'll hang around,
I could never leave Ohio
Because I'm frozen to the ground!"
