nowhere left to run ..

Open cast Mining
This earth moving machinery
rattles and clangs through its rude day,
scraping away ancient scenery
and my childhood along the way
exposing coal under the clay.
The drone behind this high pitched whine
indifferent to the changes wrought
worms and casts aside my past times
for preciousness its master sought,
which drifts like smoke away to nought.
This droning drags on through the years
the desolation is complete
and fruitless now the ground sprouts tears
watching the spread of new concrete
to hide the black that...

Some Light Relief by Nature
It shone on pyramids it shone on comets too
it shone on Neanderthaler hid from things not in our zoos
It shone on glaciers it really made 'em run
and what was this shiny thing?
It was, it is
our Sun!

Ode to Boobies
Oh you majestic bird of the high seas,
I’d never heard of you until this documentary,
I perked up when the narrator said “boobies”,
So an ode is owed to your plight and victory.
Dear booby, though you and I may never meet,
Your flight is something to be admired,
When you dive into the waters in a great fleet,
It’s a mesmerizing scene that left me inspired.
Your species depend on clean efficient oceans,
We have to change our ways so you can thrive,
Mankind must understand and make a motion,
To guard the ecosystem and all its wild life. ...

Imbolc
Sun returns to earth
and warms cold, damp soil
Seeds awaken from dormancy
and new vigor springs from them.
And our eyes drink in the wonder!
Goddess blesses the earth and its interior.
The fields, the herds and the homes...
She brings healing, inspiration and art.
SHE lights the sacred flame.
And our mouths touch the dense sky!
Imbolc is time for renewal,
of cleaning out the old and preparing the new.
Honor the life that is reborn
and give thanks for the gift of fire.

Please
I can taste the breeze
As i feel the essence
And sweet scents
Of other trees
They speak to me
With a myriad tongues
Ancient underground roots
Of a varied view
All sweep the skies
Of an azure blue
Here i stand
The gnarly old me
I am a friendly gregarious
Funny looking tree
Oft in the shape of a pyramid
My arms reaching out
Across the undulating landscape
As i view entities
With a critical eye
Carrying razor teeth
Distant friends, soon to die
as their sap like blood
Bleeds dry
And...

Evening Unfolding
sun settling
children flying on swings
evening laughter
when life increases
there is joy
when something good happens
joy unfolds
birds fluttering
songs afloat in evening atmosphere
symbiosis
unyielding drives
life-forms and ecosystem growing
making love
rescuing animals
tending garden
vibrant unfolding desire
fulfilled
life-increasing ecstasies
joys-of-life unfolding
laughter and song
fill evening air

Welcome Back Otter
If I were to return to earth in another lifeform
I would comeback as a Sea Otter
Be part of nature’s cycle and balance
I would be happy to live in the water
I’d be grooming and primping my thick coat of fur
Floating in the ocean under the California sun
Watching and waving at the whales going by
Diving for food and swimming all day would be fun
No matter what religious or philosophical views
Being a marine mammal would teach all a lesson
Perhaps bringing more awareness to humans
And the dangers to the ecosystems would lessen...

Pointless Poem
the label on the
yellow net bag
in bold letters
“seedless lemons”
whats the point
of a seedless lemon?
isn’t the purpose of fruit
to propagate
to make seed to distribute
to insure survival?
so whats the point
of a seedless fruit?
same as a
pointless needle
or this
pointless poem

Visual Appeal
I love the look of beautiful women
And I love female beauty
in all the forms it presents itself
Each man must define visual beauty for himself
But my preference for beautiful has not changed
It is pretty, perfect, and black
Perfectly Black
A darkness of the skin that brings joy to my heart. A vivid, visceral beauty that brings forth happiness, and hunger, in me.
Ever feel the sun on your face and revel in the warmth of soaking up all the sun's rays?
That is how I feel looking upon skin which collects all the colors...

Miracles In The Desert
surviving
harsh environment
dusty windy desiccated
searing heat
freezing cold
sporadic drowning
protected by
deep roots waxy coat
piercing spines
each occupies
its own space
not encroaching
briefly
flowering then
fruiting
utilizing
scarce resources
to provide
beauty
and
sweet nourishment
to feathered
and furred
survivors
