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

Frozen by ancient memories older than the land
Continued wails and the rustle of leaves betray an agonizing fight against death

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 ..

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...

Autumn VII: Trifold
1.
Late autumn and winter
bring subtle charms
with Yuletide work—
such as crafting aphrodisiacal recipes
for holiday gifts and soirées
Plenty of rain, festooning
and burning of leaves
are a homecoming of sorts
—the bouquet signaling an end
to laborious harvesting—
before bedecking a new beginning
—we do what needs be done
while awaiting light’s return
2.
Rooted firmly in the forest
is but another laboring colony
—one predating humans—
deciduous Beings contemplating

unexplored paths
there's something about backroads
backwoods
hidden trails
they call to the nomad in me
inspiring wanderlust
always chasing the latest mystery
you can only see so much on the main
you have to step off
meander down overgrown lanes
ducking through tangles
those low hanging branches
to crest the next rise
find a surprise
stumble upon one of nature's best kept secrets
she's full of them
blowing your mind & widening eyes
sometimes it's just a detour
not leading anywhere
but if I don't go
how will I...

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 ...

Autumn Leaves
I am surrounded by autumn leaves,
Their vibrant hues of crimson and gold,
Whispering tales of change and beauty.
The crisp air carries the scent of earth,
Dew-kissed mornings, and evenings in twilight,
Leaves gently falling like nature's confetti.
I walk through a carpet of russet and amber,
Each step a reminder of the cycle of life,
Nature's quiet song echoing in my heart.
The trees stand tall, their branches bare,
Yet full of grace and dignity,
Revealing the sky in its clear, blue splendor.
In this...

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.

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...

A Walk To Mt. Equinox
Tall joyous giants stalk the autumn blue sky.
In the solitude of their gargantuan grace.
Gaze up, with your head flung back
Yes! Happy as a lark.
For a moment the plagues of the heart
just fall apart.
Bark rises on a voyage to the sun.
Beyond the crowd of sun seized leaves.
Intent to stun.
The terminal green still harmonizes with the eye.
It all feels so peaceful, leaves electric
before their fate to die.
High above lemon yellows and mulberry red,
canopy the path ahead.
And don't forget, the rickety trees ...

LA
a blue river has
frozen in the vast sky
it is searching for
its traces on the
subtle layers of the earth
the shores
woven like nests
have become distorted
the souls of grey stones
are clashing
with the dry fields
stray winds
caused havoc
in the forests
and made a deep
friendship with
the flames of fire
golden spoon people
sleeping in a deep sleep
have started creating chaos
bumblebees intoxicated
by the sweet fragrance
have started fainting
