In Silence
Deep in the wilderness, something screams.
Deep in the wilderness, something cries for its life
We stand and listen as one unseen entity brutally overpowers another
The unseen struggle, made vivid by presence of sound and lack of sight
Deep in the wilderness, something screams and the forest comes alive, echoing whispers of fear and agony
We stand and feel the tense air
Frozen by ancient memories older than the land
Continued wails and the rustle of leaves betray an agonizing fight against death
Deep in the wilderness, something...
Deep in the wilderness, something cries for its life
We stand and listen as one unseen entity brutally overpowers another
The unseen struggle, made vivid by presence of sound and lack of sight
Deep in the wilderness, something screams and the forest comes alive, echoing whispers of fear and agony
We stand and feel the tense air
Frozen by ancient memories older than the land
Continued wails and the rustle of leaves betray an agonizing fight against death
Deep in the wilderness, something...

daffodil
daffodil souls like sprites among the trees
fairies that gather moss frolicking in the sun, then disappear
putting my mind at ease
they talk on the air, floating
while perfectly in tune, with the melody playing quietly, within me
dancing on the winds, they gather my secrets
saving enough for dreams
they appear as flowers should anyone else come near
dear ones of the forrested realms
tending to the sacred arts of transformation and renewal
gathering the dew from blades of grass
they glory in light but know the dark ...

Dark Forest Lurking
I’m watching
Lurking
Behind that tree
Do you see me ?
LumberJack
Ripped flannel shirt
Whiskey breath
Protrusion in pants
Sinister
Waiting
Hardwood
He surprised her from behind
Dirty calloused hand over mouth
Nicotine stench
She should have been afraid
But wasn't
He reached lewdly under her soft sweater
Fondling her breasts
Toying with her nipples
His breath hot on her neck
Misty forest odors
She felt damp between the legs ..

Forest walk
Boss gave us a day off –
“take time to reflect and relax”
Smart, he knew we all needed it
So here I am, taking my writing book to my favourite trail
Bench #1 - Letting go
Deep breaths, the prescription for relaxation
just inhaling the scent
balsam, cedar, spruce, pine
I took off my sunglasses
so I can take it all in
unfiltered
*
So, we’re on to a new phase, re-opening --
Just when I finally got used to
the low-grade anxiety
the wiping of all the things
the distancing and isolation -- ...

It's here and now I'm free
As long as I can remember that it was never this way, when we were in prison by the things that have changed, the atmosphere slowly destroying the very fabric of lives that have come and gone. But yet as I continue to stand and tolerate, the deepness of the mass destruction, it's here and now I find myself in this space and time. Finding the deepness of the words of peace and tranquility with quiteness of harmony and sounds. For sure as I look as far as I can see, it is necessary for me to be able to absorb the deepness of the energy, as I received my strength and courage and perseverance. To...

Global Warming Warning 2
The east coast gets those devastating hurricanes
While the west coast goes into long drawn-out drought
I just saw a video of Canadians getting tornadoes
While climate change deniers are still spreading doubt
A U.S. Senator escapes the freezing temperature
While people suffered and died in the terrible cold
Whether it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius for the wealthiest
The weather is always fine in their palaces of gold
Now an unbearable heat is sweeping across the land
Diligent and responsible water conservation is a must
Why won’t...

Hunter's Moon (Featuring Naajir)
it's the growl of a beast on the prowl
pulled from deep slumber
by desperate hunger
face lifted
eyes closed
easing leisurely from its hidden lair
drawn by instinct
scent of prey in the air
moving on silent feet
hunting the sensed
tracking the unseen
aggression leads
down a winding trail
through ethereal woodlands
as beads of sweat
flows in silent patterns
the animus is
ultra-felt as kindred
extraverted through thickened adrenaline
razor sharpening intuition
panting a nostalgic...

Buck Moon Nights
The moon was in the weeds last night
all southerly adrift
fading amid powder blue light
which on it seemed to sift...
'twas wild smoke within the haze
that gave a scarlet hue
then dimming in the twilight rays
of moonlight streaming through.
Yet still there was a rosy glow
when once the sun had set,
the likes of which we wouldn't know
but for a chance briquette...
and lingering filtration there
due to the floating soot
all through the northwest summer air...
from canopies kaput.

Beyond Being
Being -
Weaved through the trees,
Clandestine
breeze
Sees,
The faces
behind
hiding places -
hidden,
[Ensconced
in]
the safety
of secrecy,
[Blended
in]
out of the human
land of the inhumane,
[A true
view
of eminent
domain]
Until the anomaly
comes alive,
reversing
the breeze
Through the trees
Captivating
the eyes,
opening
to see
Lights in the sky
Like
Sacred geometry ...

Oh, modern self-medication
Oh, modern self-medication....
In caveman days
They say
Those beasts
Ate roots
And bark,
And seeds
And these
Were all
To meet
Our cosmic thoughts
And challenge
Inner needs.
A cactus
Here
And poultice
Rare
Raised
Consciousness
Like canyons.
Those rituals
Have lost
Their place
And live
Like soul
Abanyones.
