Thought, untamed
Shadows slide
up and down tree trunks
as wind nudges bare branches
Sunlight dripping
mottled
from clearest spring sky
The forest is never still.
A ringing hum in my ears
the only constant
persistent as coastal breeze
Patterns of twigs and clouds
punctuated
by bright red moments
of coherent thought
maple blossoms out of reach
Concepts un-graspable
as slippery shade
forever mutating
and formless

natural connection
languid day, contempt with boredom
moving in slow motion
still moments of life caught in black and white
An old photograph, quiet but poignant
bittersweet in its presentation
The gentle flower blowing in the wind
The grass blades reach for the sun
The trees gossip among each other
talking about the girl with sunshine hair
wondering, could I see the beauty in the long day
With grumblings of nothingness and sorrow I languish
Then the day reached for me
inviting me in
I contemplate her graciousness
Humanity...

Natural Bridges - Scene 2
Walking away from the ocean waves
toward the Ranger’s station
adjacent to a lush eucalyptus grove
descend among the cough-drop-scented trees
scores of Monarch butterflies ethereally float
on the gentle sea breeze
a joyous winged welcoming committee
flit around the heads of human visitors
Inviting the curious strangers
to spend time with them in their warm Winter home
thousands of orange and black striped,
white dotted wings carpet the leaves
and trunks of the trees
resting from their long migration
recouping the energy ...

little tree
My thoughts worry I don't feel good today
My nerves are on edge, and my soul feels rankled
It's a beautiful sunny day, and I can't get in tune
It just makes my foul mood stark in comparison
Alcatraz, except my prison is of the mind
my failures evident I feel my limitations
Anxiety builds; I have not learned to cope
Burying my feelings causes a great disconnect
where I can only watch on from the sidelines
as others enjoy themselves
sighing and groaning within to connect with nature
my soul searches for a way in
it is...

Windowpane
Screaming out loud
pounding my chest
primal in the mid of night.
By the sacred fire
deep in the woods
dancing flames, rising ember's
carrying spirits to the stars.
Colors splash in my head
visions fill my mind
inside and out,
the wind talks to me
"just listen" she says.
The trees they dance with me
swaying in the breeze,
everything blends
my spirits and the wind...

Eyes of the beholder
As there is still some beauty left in the world 🌎 there is still some people's heart, not change by the chaos and drama and confusion and madness. WHO take the time to admire the many flowers and inhale and exhale there beautiful scents. AS they stroll by the precious things in life. Just needing some gentle loving care and love and attention, to continue to grow and bloom in the fresh spring, weather of the coming of spring changing into a summer breeze as they bloom in the horizon sun 🌞 🪬 SHAMAN 🪬

Ode to My Mango Tree
two decades or so, yet
ever reaching out to me
your calloused branches...
my voice and touch
carved in your aging bough,
your song when leaves rustle
in the night breeze
overwhelms my tormented soul...
o' my dearest amrapali,
more than my confidant,
you are an embodiment
of my spirit guide,
listening to my laments
and in whose silence
dwells solace-
an intercessor,
who carries my
pleas and prayers
to the universe; ...

Observing from the Treetops
She said I was “so quiet”.
I smiled and thought
that’s because I have little to say
about comings and goings I can’t track,
drama and gossip I never understand,
faceless names I’ll forget tomorrow.
Your words buzz around my head like gnats
and I am not a part of all that.
It’s not that I don’t try to speak.
My commentary is simply
the wrong shape
to penetrate their ear holes
Words tumble from tongue to floor
getting nothing but blank glances
as if I farted or confessed an unsavory sin
or made random...

Oh Happy Day
Oh sunny day welcomes me in
beautiful sunlit flowers smile up at me
while their tree guardians take note
the birds resting in their boughs
leaves rustling slightly
while their branches praise the blue
the sky reaches on forever
a home for the sun
The earth rotates lazily as the day progresses on
She is interactive, our mother
she gives as she receives
I notice that on days I'm stormy
and stomping out about the property
She will reach out and trip me
admonishing me to be kind
the energy I'm...

~of a 2 random flashed paradisiacal poetic symbolisms.. of an otherwise prosaic day
1.
the messy mosquito window mesh
loaded with immortally chamfering
dusts over their each tiny squaring in
portals.. today had a surprise guest
not just knocking its door .. but falling
vertically flat & stuck..in a 90 degree
‘sashtanga namaskaram’ over the
waiting portal doors.. its iridescence
was a killer nacreous shine.. though
a dorsal beauty, away from my direct
visions.. only
her horrific ventral side.. of a boggy
brown muddiness.. in a nauseating
thoraxo-abdominal...
