Delicate
A small delicate daisy;
Misplaced among thorn covered roses.
A young gentle butterfly;
Hidden in a swarm of angry bees.
A fluffy white cloud;
Overtaken by rain filled storms.
Tiny morning dew drops;
Trapped on a spiders web.
Freshly fallen snowflakes;
Disturbed by harsh winds.
Majestic mountains rising high;
Casting the world below in shadow.
A flowing waterfall;
frozen solid by glacial ice.
Innocent baby robins;
Abandoned before learning to fly.
Youthful green sprouts;
Left untended and alone.
Delicate...
Misplaced among thorn covered roses.
A young gentle butterfly;
Hidden in a swarm of angry bees.
A fluffy white cloud;
Overtaken by rain filled storms.
Tiny morning dew drops;
Trapped on a spiders web.
Freshly fallen snowflakes;
Disturbed by harsh winds.
Majestic mountains rising high;
Casting the world below in shadow.
A flowing waterfall;
frozen solid by glacial ice.
Innocent baby robins;
Abandoned before learning to fly.
Youthful green sprouts;
Left untended and alone.
Delicate...

Camp Fire
Sonoma’s hot Diablo Wind
Ain’t no gentle breeze!
It stripped our bones of charbroiled skin
And vaporized our trees
Our village was reduced to dust
The carnage is complete
Anything that won’t combust
Just melted in the street
Was it worth the pretty view?
Or profits from our wine?
Sonoma earned my last adieu,
I’m sick of burning pine!
Eighty souls were lost that day
While criminals run free—
Pacific Gas refused to pay
By faking bankruptcy!
Ain’t no gentle breeze!
It stripped our bones of charbroiled skin
And vaporized our trees
Our village was reduced to dust
The carnage is complete
Anything that won’t combust
Just melted in the street
Was it worth the pretty view?
Or profits from our wine?
Sonoma earned my last adieu,
I’m sick of burning pine!
Eighty souls were lost that day
While criminals run free—
Pacific Gas refused to pay
By faking bankruptcy!

Sylvan’s Renewal
The tree is bare
Her leaves gone
by wind shear;
She lingers on
Strong sylvan pride
facing icy zephyrs’ chill
Her leaves departing
now branches lay
ever still
Summer Sun no
longer lingers
warmth the way He
did during windless
days of basking
beneath Her shade
Her roots now Her
only sustenance
combatting frigid
breezes;
awaiting Gaia to send
a renewal of
summery and
comfortable
indolency
though winter’s winds
persist
Spring WILL come...
Her leaves gone
by wind shear;
She lingers on
Strong sylvan pride
facing icy zephyrs’ chill
Her leaves departing
now branches lay
ever still
Summer Sun no
longer lingers
warmth the way He
did during windless
days of basking
beneath Her shade
Her roots now Her

Libellule
Even your name is
playful
tumbles off my tongue
with such a barrel rolling joy
As you rise aloft
skirt
skim along swift
above still dark water
Wide eyed
with a soft heart
beginning always
where i fear to start
Greeting me thusly
with your buzzing song
i hum along
again in resonance
Please carry me away
to the end of the day
on silky wings
those most divine things
playful
tumbles off my tongue
with such a barrel rolling joy
As you rise aloft
skirt
skim along swift
above still dark water
Wide eyed
with a soft heart
beginning always
where i fear to start
Greeting me thusly
with your buzzing song
i hum along
again in resonance
Please carry me away
to the end of the day
on silky wings
those most divine things

I Am The Rain
I am the summer rain that falls
To drench your summer days
I take away the summer heat
That warms your summer nights
I am the soft raindrops
falling
On autumn afternoons
That mourns for the falling leaves
Scattered on the ground
I am the tiny snowflakes
falling
On some cold winter nights
That covers trees and mountaintops
In bright caps of white
I am the gentle rain
that falls
On a bright spring day
I kiss the flowers and the trees
That blooms and blossoms in May
I am the...

A Banquet for the Birds
A brisk breeze blows;
Buckeye branches bow
Beneath the beautiful, blue sky.
Behold!
Blackberry brambles
Bursting with berries,
Bring bountiful banquets for the birds.
Blue Jays and blackbirds
Break berries beneath their bold bills,
A ferocious feeding frenzy
Before the famine of first frost.
A curious cardinal creeps ever closer,
Keeping careful consideration of the crows;
Fearful, but finally finding his favorite fix
In a fervent flurry of feathers.
'Bzzzzzz'
A bee buzzes by, ...

Blood Moon
rises as a growing thing
from garden soil;
stubs its trail of light
on the plowshare
becomes human
and bleeds

the plucked rose
the crown of the garden
this elegant rose
whose petals were jewels
beguiling my nose
no blemish to tarnish
its fragrance-clad bed
no tarnish to blemish
no blood thereon bled
reluctant, departing
i go on my way
its honeyed breath clinging
the whole livelong day
returning, i pause for
another brief glance
at that little gem
which so made my heart dance
but dripping sad teardrops
and sighing in pain
an empty stalk bows ...

Laden is the language we speak ; cowritten with AEMelia564
I heard a voice
Within the cosmic wheel
Flame I speak
In kindred fire
A full sickle moon
Heaven's gifted
Luminous whispers
Spill unto me
with such ardor
Exiling all doom
There are trees
who know the way
Closer to the light
Their radiance expressed
In soliloquy
For all who dare
to see
Those of a fervor
bright for nature's
unswayed spirit
Brooding sun
leans against
First mountain
Mediating
Dawn
Seeks
My void's
gaze...
Within the cosmic wheel
Flame I speak
In kindred fire

Truth takes the form
Of a frog
Or a homeless man
And croaks in the rain

Draw me, i will touch
Draw me, ‘tis your choice
O bring me close to your heart
i will covet & rejoice!
Dive into me during melting snows
Let me hear freshened screams
clear concise cleansing voice.
Allow me to love, to share
drenched in liquefied wonder
wonders to wander to care
a cause entrenched to

Enveloped in empirical love

One Perfect Day
I took him to the ones that create darkness
on the brightest, hottest of days
the ones that sway and rub
without breeze
Whisper stories to those who listen
The forest that raises
straight from water to sky
keep all hidden providing repose
nurturing peace and the quiet of calm
Embraces those that are still
The huge expanded one
glistens when dry
holds the richest secrets
offers protective blessings
To those that see
I took him for
without trying or knowing
he whispers his stories ...
on the brightest, hottest of days
the ones that sway and rub
without breeze
Whisper stories to those who listen
The forest that raises
straight from water to sky
keep all hidden providing repose
nurturing peace and the quiet of calm
Embraces those that are still
The huge expanded one
glistens when dry
holds the richest secrets
offers protective blessings

I took him for
