Echo of a Shadow
The echo of a shadow
Drums across the canyon
Beneath a redtail’s flight
Disappearing through cuts and cracks
Shortly to return piercing contrast
To colors coated on the canyon’s face
Until nightfall, when the shadow sleeps
With a lullaby echoing in its head
Drums across the canyon
Beneath a redtail’s flight
Disappearing through cuts and cracks
Shortly to return piercing contrast
To colors coated on the canyon’s face
Until nightfall, when the shadow sleeps
With a lullaby echoing in its head

The Things That Trees do Hear
Oh, if the trees could talk!
The stories they would tell!
Of lovers, or family members, out for a spring walk,
Of the beautifully overcast afternoon wishes, made at the "Ol' Wishing Well",
Of lumberjacks at work, and of gardeners planting trees.
Of the lovesick, picking flowers for their betrothed or longingly searching for answers as they pick the petals off a daisy,
Of twittering birds, fluttering butterflies, and buzzing honeybees,
Of morning strolls with a hot coffee.
Of dappled sunlight, spring showers, and the ocassional mushroom growth,
Of...

Take A Walk With Me
cracking shells beneath my feet
Tiny pickle in my soles
Scraping sand between my toes
waves crash against the shores
Nut trees dangle in the wind
As I think about where I've been
soldier crabs patrol shorelines
Sea gulls they sing
Such beauty lies within my eyes
As the ocean swings
Beautiful as the diamond jewels
The water surface blings
leaving footprints in the sand
As I merge into the scene
feel the breeze against my skin
As the radiation of the sun soaks in
That 'D Vitamin' ...
Tiny pickle in my soles
Scraping sand between my toes
waves crash against the shores
Nut trees dangle in the wind
As I think about where I've been
soldier crabs patrol shorelines

Such beauty lies within my eyes
As the ocean swings
Beautiful as the diamond jewels
The water surface blings
leaving footprints in the sand
As I merge into the scene

As the radiation of the sun soaks in

INVITATION TO A NUDE BEACH (REISSUE)
I'd like to take you to a beach I know,
where people go naked al fresco.
Perfectly legal - won't get arrested
for going round bare thighed and bare breasted.
The place to 'be there, do that, get T-shirt'
(NOT 'be there, do that, get yourself caught!)
Let all your inhibitions fall away
in the sun kissed atmosphere of the bay.
Let our skins enjoy the sun, sand and sea
as in the days of Adam and Evie,
and, indeed, down for further centuries
before mankind invented swim cossies.
See how the other couples...
where people go naked al fresco.
Perfectly legal - won't get arrested
for going round bare thighed and bare breasted.
The place to 'be there, do that, get T-shirt'
(NOT 'be there, do that, get yourself caught!)
Let all your inhibitions fall away
in the sun kissed atmosphere of the bay.
Let our skins enjoy the sun, sand and sea
as in the days of Adam and Evie,
and, indeed, down for further centuries
before mankind invented swim cossies.
See how the other couples...

Trance enhanced (revised)
Trance
enhanced
as nature
does her dance
within the depths
of our internal dimensions,
eternal extensions of
the infinite inventors input
light years beyond boundaries
while concurrently
coloring the cosmos
with the rainbows
in our soul..
We soar
and soar
always searching for more and more
never learning to ignore
temptation
or that sweet stimulation
satisfying the senses at any expense,
don't wanna feel tense
gotta get a glimpse
of that suspense....

Through the mire..
Fresh from the drawn curtains of a pastel dawn
The sun hides behind the massing clouds of day
Water lapsed legs are rubbed in the velvet of silt
Giving way to the fray and territory of notion
In a sense a dressed devotion;
The now is where we stand before
This time, this here, is all we have..
The past behind the futures advance
That fucking met-a-phorical door..
It’s frame is barred in the intern of an open floor
As we set what rises in its wrapping
The present is the moments gift
A man, his dog, wet boots, and...

Wetlands
It was a dry day.
The sky painter had been out with charcoal in force
softening the edges, rounding the sides, hiding the Sun
still on the rise.
The swans came waddling
up from the bank, caught between gates,
imprisoned and flanked,
in the name of protection, preservation is key,
keep all the birds in one place to be free.
Humans can't be trusted, beyond causing great harm,
with an agenda, a stomach and a gun on the arm,
birds weren't meant for living, no wildlife at play,
the game, set and match as long as human's...

the drive
fifteen miles from Rhinelander
tap your foot in time
this sweet harbinger
sounds of a ditty or maybe a rhyme.
sunrise on crystals of snow
feel winter as she blows…
and only to you…the pines…they know.
winding creeks and woodland havens
flocks of the black raven.
memories pieced together, now whole
provide you with firmness that your foot, now holds.
o sweet, you are
twinkling, brighter than,
little tree’s… dog star
my limerick is way much too simple
yet,
will its poetry
etched in warmth by my heart ...

Shell Seeker
I walked barefoot in a ribbon of sand as I seek Junonia shells along the shore of Sanibel Island. Gently placed
in a clam bucket that swings from my hand,
humming a tune I heard from earlier that afternoon.

Twilight Sky
Rising for the day
Over cloudy fields of cotton
A sliver of light points the way
As the dark has been forgotten
Twilight colors shine bright
Painting the ceiling in pastel hues
It’s not day, it’s not night
Just a lovely view
Over cloudy fields of cotton
A sliver of light points the way
As the dark has been forgotten
Twilight colors shine bright
Painting the ceiling in pastel hues
It’s not day, it’s not night
Just a lovely view
