The Way Life Goes
Sun pierces through a vast barricade of bark.
Moon filtering through the dream landscape
of the dark.
Those were the days, trees were on fire.
A blaze with the most vibrant orange.
Burning against the evergreen fringe.
Warmer on the heart than the breath of spring.
Reflecting backwards she thought
I guess that's the way life goes.
Acceptance is the secret no one seems to know.
Moon filtering through the dream landscape
of the dark.
Those were the days, trees were on fire.
A blaze with the most vibrant orange.
Burning against the evergreen fringe.
Warmer on the heart than the breath of spring.
Reflecting backwards she thought
I guess that's the way life goes.
Acceptance is the secret no one seems to know.

Whether Weather
She continually changes herself as if she's the seasons
Not realizing that regardless of the weather she's equally as pleasing
I love standing in the plunge pool of her falling Niagara
As she pours over me, an obelisk, as if built by viagara
But there's no need her seasons are all that's required
Winters covered by her lying on a rug in front of a fire
Burning oak and hickory, hissing and crackling, sharing their scent
Perfume and cologne commingling as flesh is forced to repent
She changes as our overhang collapses heating up as she rides ...

Winter's Prose
In autumn's glow, the world begins to rest
And amber leaves descend in weathered flight
The summer's heat now finds a gentler quest
As chilly winds chase the lingering light
The trees, donning their robes of ember gold
Stand sentinel against the waning sun
Their branches reach with tales of seasons old
While shadows stretch as days are nearly done
The air is crisp, a breath of frost and pine
As harvests yield their bounty to the earth
The twilight hours in muted hues align
And nightfall's calm descends with...
And amber leaves descend in weathered flight
The summer's heat now finds a gentler quest
As chilly winds chase the lingering light
The trees, donning their robes of ember gold
Stand sentinel against the waning sun
Their branches reach with tales of seasons old
While shadows stretch as days are nearly done
The air is crisp, a breath of frost and pine
As harvests yield their bounty to the earth
The twilight hours in muted hues align
And nightfall's calm descends with...

blown away
the sun lost his dominance
as thick clouds bullied him into shadow
turning afternoon to complete darkness
no thunder...no lightning...no rain
only the gods breath in full fury
& things meant to stand tall & proud became horizontal
abasing themselves in the face of it
fallen trees & sundered limbs covered the streets
those caught unaware
{among them...my daughter...}
forced to dodge flying debris
we had no warning
& with one loud boom...power gave out
my tiny basement with its crowding...
as thick clouds bullied him into shadow
turning afternoon to complete darkness
no thunder...no lightning...no rain
only the gods breath in full fury
& things meant to stand tall & proud became horizontal
abasing themselves in the face of it
fallen trees & sundered limbs covered the streets
those caught unaware
{among them...my daughter...}
forced to dodge flying debris
we had no warning
& with one loud boom...power gave out
my tiny basement with its crowding...

Bears
In the dense forests, bears roam curiously,
their heavy paws tread softly.
Ancient survival rituals.
Marked trees, scratched bark, sustenance.
They move with grace despite their size.
Instincts honed over millennia.
Mothers protecting their young, teaching them to fish,
climbing, seeking shelter.
But the world is changing,
the forests are becoming thinner,
the ice is melting,
the seasons are changing,
their habitats are shrinking,
food sources are dwindling,
invisible borders are approaching, ...
their heavy paws tread softly.

But the world is changing,

the seasons are changing,
their habitats are shrinking,
food sources are dwindling,

avalanche
the snow
packed tightly,
hugging up
to the
mountains,
cradled within
crevices,
each storm
adds depth
and weight,
and then
it lets
go of
its hold,
then an
avalanche,
removing
any wants,
desires,
needs or
love within
the path
of its
raging
footsteps.

Drum Beats
while the energy
transmission is
still in process
african beats
fill my house
grounding me
connect me to
my innate roots
until they deeply
vibrate inside me
tingling feelings
start at my feet
my hands until
they fill my body
with sensations
coming in waves
i let go of myself
let the beats take
me over deep into
the wind and trees
the forest the leaves
energy of the elements
transmission is
still in process
african beats
fill my house
grounding me
connect me to
my innate roots
until they deeply
vibrate inside me
tingling feelings
start at my feet
my hands until
they fill my body
with sensations
coming in waves
i let go of myself
let the beats take
me over deep into
the wind and trees
the forest the leaves
energy of the elements

Northern Cross
A poultry flock through Cygnus flew
almost beyond my sight...
so appropriate thereunto
they really made my night.
So silently they crossed the sky
northwest to Dipper stars
where dauntless flocks all learn to fly
like avian hussars.
Strange that I heard no honks therefrom
in all their midnight flight.
Did they to Lyra's spell succumb
or were they just polite?
I think 'twas acme Cygnus
preeminent above
that had the squadron virtuous...
in plumy gaggle love.

Who Let The Chickens Out
The Barter System
I have not heard that word in such a long time, and as I stated, the will of Allah, places people, events, or occurrences in my path, so I may be ordained to bring these words to you.
I was called from my place of employment by one of my Jewish-faith based neighbors, detailing my birds got out their coop.
I got home and thank goodness I had some organic particles food on the blanket of grass, they all wandered to the back of my yard, and my coop is located on its own grass landing, and secured bi-lateral to my brownstone, okay, the point I am...

Sea Limits Cannot Reach Just Drink Its Power
Not chained is the heart would draw near
Feel the breeze of Heaven while heaving
The hand of Faith shall free souls and steer
A divine fountain of Love receiving
Cascaded words flowing over any weir
A grace gifted by inspiring teacher
The poet in you shall have no compeer
Nourish the soul from every single creature
Love lulls human heart to see its sea
And to eternal Love bears a vower
Lead your dives and surface.. beam to be
Sea limits can’t reach just drink its power
Feel the breeze of Heaven while heaving
The hand of Faith shall free souls and steer
A divine fountain of Love receiving
Cascaded words flowing over any weir
A grace gifted by inspiring teacher
The poet in you shall have no compeer
Nourish the soul from every single creature
Love lulls human heart to see its sea
And to eternal Love bears a vower
Lead your dives and surface.. beam to be
Sea limits can’t reach just drink its power

If You'd Know Me
Along the sun dappled trail
Among the hardwood and the pines
Mountain laurel blooms
Burbling streams echoing
Over slick, wet rocks
And the outward bends that catch the breeze
Making the rustle of leaves
Sound like rain
Hedging out crops where you can see
Foothills rolling away
Like waves
I start early
Before crowds clamor the trail
Echoing noise
Up and down
There's a deep here that calls my soul
Nature speaks
And my heart listens
To the whisper of the green
Living ...
