Gasp
Live as the trees.
Don't be afraid
To be a tender shoot.
Drink the rain,
Take the time to grow.
Become the young sapling.
Look to the heavens,
Reach for the stars,
Follow the sun.
Enjoy each season
For what they are
And what they bring.
Put down strong roots.
Grow straight and tall.
Stretch out your arms,
Feel the breeze.
Be flexible enough
To brave the storms,
Bending without breaking.
Endure the changes that come.
Share your shade...
Don't be afraid
To be a tender shoot.
Drink the rain,
Take the time to grow.
Become the young sapling.
Look to the heavens,
Reach for the stars,
Follow the sun.
Enjoy each season
For what they are
And what they bring.
Put down strong roots.
Grow straight and tall.
Stretch out your arms,
Feel the breeze.
Be flexible enough
To brave the storms,
Bending without breaking.
Endure the changes that come.
Share your shade...

Dreaming in Grasshopper Green
Kiwi sour tints of soggy leaves
Offered on an altar of rotting trees
Poison frog flesh of verdant release
Like plumes of a thousand parakeets
Reverie of jellied chartreuse and lime
Sun rays dripping upon me like slime
The day coiled around me
A serpentine mirage
Of jungles of neon
Lemongrass and topaz
Cellulose encased
In mossy illusions
Mildewed sun casting
Rainbows unseen
Lichens abound as
Emerald foliage surrounds
...

White Horse Blues
Blue roan coat
Of proud horizon
For cornflowers eyes
In glad surprise
To feast on
Above four
Marzipan legs
Marshmallow velours
Kissed
And licked
By true blue flames
Creature adored
Her head adorned
With silver mane
Gold palomino fields'
Prairie grass yields
Shades of swirling piebald
Strawberry roan
Wild flower homes
In patterns of skewbald
To lodge the busy bees
...

Palm Tree Dreamer
Wishing my eyes were cameras
My brain my personal photographer
Of cityscapes and architecture
Saturated whites and warm linen skies
Criss-cross lifeless arms hugging glass
Feeble shields against the ricocheting beams
Of lo-fi Coppola's "Virgin Suicides" sunlight
Curtains of dull brown and vibrant green
Low-hanging tendrils and high-flying sails
Above a sea of golf club grass
Or obsidian sun flame-baked hot pavement
While people fly through the sky first-class
...

Hollow
Read these librams of green
From each branch they're strung
The forest, a library of trees
Some old as the bible, others young
It makes a man fall to his knees
To think what we have done
What might have the trees seen
How many songs unsung
To be put to the axe
And be undone
From each branch they're strung
The forest, a library of trees
Some old as the bible, others young
It makes a man fall to his knees
To think what we have done
What might have the trees seen
How many songs unsung
To be put to the axe
And be undone

Autumn's Golden Sea
As I fell into autumn's golden sea
I came upon a coral reef
A forest of scarlet and copper leaves
Spilled like wine on crisp honey breeze
And I, the happy fish, swam merrily
Through glowing tides of autumnal glee
To wrap my fins 'round this landbound reef
And kiss the waves of this waterless sea
I came upon a coral reef
A forest of scarlet and copper leaves
Spilled like wine on crisp honey breeze
And I, the happy fish, swam merrily
Through glowing tides of autumnal glee
To wrap my fins 'round this landbound reef
And kiss the waves of this waterless sea

When I See The Leaves Fall
When I see the leaves
fall, it tells me that school is
about to start soon.

Beyond Being
Being -
Weaved through the trees,
Clandestine
breeze
Sees,
The faces
behind
hiding places -
hidden,
[Ensconced
in]
the safety
of secrecy,
[Blended
in]
out of the human
land of the inhumane,
[A true
view
of eminent
domain]
Until the anomaly
comes alive,
reversing
the breeze
Through the trees
Captivating
the eyes,
opening
to see
Lights in the sky
Like
Sacred geometry ...

THE SCREAMING TREES
THE SCREAMING TREES
The trees are screaming again.
They tend to do that around this time
of year towards the end of August.
They know that the end of their time is near.
A final symphony of allure and mortal fear
echoes across the evening........
They simply want to Fuck before they die.
They cast spells to create new screams
to be heard within the future herds.
The wish to lay fresh unhatched eggs
on the bark of a screaming tree
awaiting mesmerizing hoards
of persistent patient destiny
Then they simply vanish. ...

Desert Evenings
Mesmerized by late afternoons with pink and purple skys
Haha Cactus and me watching tumbleweeds racing by
Dust devils swirling away trying to move this dry heat
Be careful where you step fossilized history is under your feet
Hello there Mr. Rattler, how have you and Mr. Scorpion been
You could had sent word to me by way of the Wind
I know that it's not a dependable means of messaging
It seems to be down time and time again
And when it does come around, all it seems to do is stir up dust
Ripping and roaring, he's a bandit that can't be...

Nobody Looks Up
In the middle of an apocalypse
you'll find me in a big pine tree
relaxing with a joint and an
old magazine.
I'll remain unseen,
like the words in this
poem on my cracked
cell phone screen.
Soon to be obsolete.
I love Evergreens.
