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...

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 ..

meditate
accusations assault my dignity
inspires a melody in my soul that I know well
my pride steps aside and lets me be myself
sling the dirty expletives they have no power here
lose the arrogance and realize you may not be right
I sing a song of subtly
my sighs rise and with whispers, I make my stand
release tension with a smile
then you'll know anger is a hollow foundation
as it dissipates on the winds
free the rage that doesn't belong to you
don't pick it up from someone in a bad mood
and allow them to give you an unhappy...

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...

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 ...

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

Telluric
Willows in the wind
bringing ancestral voices...
We learn to listen,
we teach ourselves to be silent.
Birds sing the song of the ground,
a river of flames crosses the hearts.
The juice of life sprouting
in the fruits of the air.
The body submerges in the waters
of eternal universal return.
Me inside the forest
that is the forest inside me.

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.

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 -- ...

Skirts of Nature
The skirts of nature
looking into the eyes
of the forestal woods
sing to me Autumn
Revealing the beauty
of it's soul pipes
lifting the wetness
of my fears
looking into the eyes
of the forestal woods
sing to me Autumn
Revealing the beauty
of it's soul pipes
lifting the wetness
of my fears
