Nature Speaks
Rain fell before dawn
Cleansing
Purifying
Catalyst of growth
Symbol of prophesy
Stepping out
Startled by a hawk's cry
Loud and nearby
Screeching seven times
eight times
seven times
The distance answering five
Seven is the symbol of spirit, sustenance, and struggle
Eight like a ladder
Reveals the ability to rise
And go beyond nature
The realm of infinite possibilities
Seven is the symbol of spirit, sustenance, and struggle.
Five meaning, Lo, Behold!
Swooping ...

Deliverance
White light
trickled through
a hole in the
abandoned church’s roof.
Dust motes
swam around
your head like a halo
in the last fair rays of summer
and I wondered if
I might make it to heaven
Hell chased my heels like
a rabid dog so long
I was ready to
lie on the ground with
my delicate throat ripped out
like a sacrifice to nothing
when I saw a flash of you
you…
and I saw hope flash before my eyes
like a goddamn burning bush
I took your hand, ...

The Poetic Universe
High above clouds blanketing a sleeping earth
pale horizon fades into the vast universe
Tiny dots of brilliance, so small to my eyes
possess magnitude that baffles my limited mind
If miniscule is enormous, then my big problems are small
as distance and eternity dwarf them all
A fresh perspective on our differences unfolding
as ancient light gains new meaning upon our beholding
The Creator of stars and planets and oceans
saw fit to equip me with words and emotions
So this gift I’ll employ to share a truth with you: ...

Lucite Helicopter to Australia
This helicopter
in which you are riding
is entirely clear.
Lucite
Sturdy
You can see all the gears,
and the folding waves
of the lonely Pacific below.
In this helicopter,
you can see Freddie Mercury standing in the roomy cabin
this is a large model lucite helicopter)
and Brian May heading back to the cockpit.
He's an astrophysicist and rock star,
so why not a helicopter pilot too.
In this helicopter
made of lucite
for your viewing pleasure,
you can see birds
miniature breaching whales ...
in which you are riding

Sagrado
With her feet firm,
she stands resolute,
absolutely captivating
as she radiates,
creating a visible aura
of defense.
Intensity is so high
some are left blinded.
The open-minded
could see her glory.
Stories told
of ethereal glow
showed no justice
to her presence.
Sense the strength
in her divine grace.
Lacing my hands together
in prayer.
Scared straight
into believing,
leaving faith imprinted
on my soul.

Bruja voice of a thousand tears

Where pueblo wonders through centuries
Upon flower mesa that blossoms love

Indelible Lines
Oh, how much i long
For the vintage sound of the olden music
The plaintive violin, under the gentle caress
A stroke of a piano-keys, by slender fingers
Of which the joy is not the less..
Oh, what a craving i do have !!!
Golden fields sway like sea-waves
The waltzing dance of the Summer wheat
Ripened under May's heat
The cheerful grasshoppers' sizzling shriek..
With hot chirping, skipping
Wheezing, such a cosy bossom
Where throbbing sentiments live

Heaven Takes Away
Back then...
Granny had said that I was a particular child.
How I spent too much time questioning all
of the unreasonable things.
That I was tiresome to her,
when she'd take me to church, and
I wouldn't sit still while listening
to the nonsense of some mortal man
on a stage.
Because I could talk to God anytime,
without that interpreter giving me
his own version.
I'd tell granny, God doesn't see it that way.
She'd just shush me, sometimes handing me
a half-stick of gum...

The True Story Of Adam And Eve
Another lovely day in paradise.
The sky is coloured in orangy red
When from their wildflower bed
Adam and Eve gently rise.
All of nature breathes peace.
Playfully a fox chases a hare.
Sweet birdsong lingers in the air.
Sun warms a cat’s golden fleece.
A stroll through Garden Eden they take
With a lively mind and carefree.
When Eve stops in front of a tree,
On one branch lies a glittering snake.
"Careful, Eve! From the evil run away!"
“It’s a harmless beauty, can't you see?
I'm sure it's the...
