Sitka Eagle Sanctuary
Sitka Eagle Sanctuary
Old man in feather shawl
Bleary eyed in golden years
But sacred heart a fiery torch
That burns bright as a vision
Of his lake of heaven
Where he climbed the mirrored sky
Into the Alaskan sun orb flames
Whose grail held the secret hunger
For a bird of appetite
But the arrow of human passion pierced him
Into a broken wing of desire
No more to sail the blue lit sphere
Of the heights of rapture
Head cocked like a sly seraph

Petrified Soul
Life's stabbing, I'm hurting.
Yet the hearty chirp of the house sparrow,
awakens bones asleep for years.
Song Sparrow sings melodies of
random yesterday's drizzled with tears.
That's the thing you learn after awhile,
nothing is random, not even a smile.
Robins, wrens and a cardinal
are the morning choir.
Tweet the joy of simply being alive,
encouraging darkened thoughts to retire.
Barbaric limbs of branches grab into my holes.
Where the past me's are terrified to go.
To search for happiness in the forest of

Dandelion Bear
Dandelion Bear
Dandelion bear
Dines in patch of heaven
On Yukon summer soma stems
Like a lotus eater on fire with Shangri La
Whose ivory thresh
Is a prelude to cavernous combustion
Wherein lies the wildflower sutra
As he eats local
From nature’s produce market of love
While humans paint retina
And camera lens
With shades of wonder
Whose art is a quest
For his pure unadulterated dream
Of forest freedom
Dandelion bear
Dines in patch of heaven
On Yukon summer soma stems
Like a lotus eater on fire with Shangri La
Whose ivory thresh
Is a prelude to cavernous combustion
Wherein lies the wildflower sutra
As he eats local
From nature’s produce market of love
While humans paint retina
And camera lens
With shades of wonder
Whose art is a quest
For his pure unadulterated dream
Of forest freedom

Juneau Pilgrims
Juneau Pilgrims
Nature’s crystal tea
Poured over granite ice cubes
Into holy Juneau vat of heaven
Whose spritzer oxygen levitates us
Where tree rings widen
Into wooden fingerprints
That sing brazen hymns of nymphs
To clouds that cloak the sun and moon
From eyes that seek totemic beings
That lurk in the shadowless forest
Only to silhouette when the fog burns
Into sunbeam sculpture
Where the castanet
Of an eagle cry
Echoes on Dryad boughs
For forest gypsies
Whose thirsty ears
Drink...

Mt. Olympus
Emerald green statuesque pines,
are silent untouched guardians,
of a sprawling beauty that pales divine.
Gathered at the base of the majestic,
snow-crusted mountain backs.
A land crisp, fresh, grand and wild.
Attack my heart with pleasure.
Nature's unscathed treasure.
It is here I feel my deepest truths
echo in the pristine noble silence.
Strong grace of snowy peaks that perfectly stun and soothe.
In the face of such beauty, my existence makes
solid sense.
are silent untouched guardians,
of a sprawling beauty that pales divine.
Gathered at the base of the majestic,
snow-crusted mountain backs.
A land crisp, fresh, grand and wild.
Attack my heart with pleasure.
Nature's unscathed treasure.
It is here I feel my deepest truths
echo in the pristine noble silence.
Strong grace of snowy peaks that perfectly stun and soothe.
In the face of such beauty, my existence makes

Call of the Wild (2023)
into the shady forest
into the trees embrace
into dappled sunlight
no more human race
no more chatter chatter
no more you or me
no more blah blah blahing
telepathically -
surrounded by high beings
sky to underground
murmuring and rustling
in wind their only sound -
in the distance babbling
of a gurgling stream -
mushrooms in the undergrowth
caught by a bright beam
of sunlight playing hopscotch
skipping through the ferns -
banana slugs and beetles
and of course earthworms ...
into the trees embrace
into dappled sunlight
no more human race
no more chatter chatter
no more you or me
no more blah blah blahing

surrounded by high beings
sky to underground

in the distance babbling
of a gurgling stream -
mushrooms in the undergrowth

Nature Is My Creed
The blue sky above
The green forest below
The cold in the cove
The breeze quite mellow
'Tis Summer's gentle touch
The sun's warm caress
To stay as long as much
To push away the stress
'Tis the spirit of heaven
The beauty that impress
All the bliss we are given
Mortals care much less
The genuine words written
Nature's books are best
With fair charm i' m smitten
Eternal beauty, my quest
Beneath a pine tree i sit
Woes start to regress

the end?
The end?
As Spanish bluebells chime
The world has gone silent
A finger hangs over a button
Vacillates.

May 28th
In the heart of a bushy forest, we found ourselves,
Eight souls, bound by fate, in a tale to tell.
The plane had crashed, our hopes aflutter,
Amidst dense vegetation, where sight was smothered.
Tall trees embraced us, a haven for creatures,
Animals and birds, orchestrating nature's features.
Their calls formed a symphony, a melody so pure,
Yet disrupted by our arrival, a disturbance to endure.
As evening descended, we gathered, unharmed,
Minor injuries nursed, our spirits unalarmed.
Attacked by bees, we ran and tumbled with grace, ...

The woods.
Water across the country
Woods,
Green frog from the
night green tree
Plain white text
Orange juice dips.
The sparrows
Flurring.
Parrots perching the
night green tree
Bats fly the night of
Taal trees.
Green grass spreads green.
Trees bear bears.
Nest across the garden
She shivers in dark and cold .
Doctor prescription for
Cold .
Butterflies and
moths spreading yellow
Spring apple day.

The Hut wayer
In a dream song by
Invention of
Fax carriers
And papper
Into the world
Of flowers and
So green tree
Sweet white
Flows through the veil of
Hut wayer royals
Jr . invention of own
Windy winter Sois
Solid wood water watershed
Springs.

mother trees
Let my roots
find the mother tree
in the Earth
a handshake, a kiss,
a tangible
connection
underneath
find the mother tree

a handshake, a kiss,
