Picture Texas
Texas Bluebonnet you fill my horizon like the sea.
As you dance and sway in the cool spring breeze.
Mockingbirds sing and woodpeckers peck.
As the horn toad lizard scurries for ants.
Banana spiders weave and cicadas that chirp.
Wild blackberries that taste so delicious it hurts.
Choices of oak, pecan or mesquite as firewood to barbecue meat.
These are just some of the joys that I see.
When I stop and glance at the things around me.
As you dance and sway in the cool spring breeze.
Mockingbirds sing and woodpeckers peck.
As the horn toad lizard scurries for ants.
Banana spiders weave and cicadas that chirp.
Wild blackberries that taste so delicious it hurts.
Choices of oak, pecan or mesquite as firewood to barbecue meat.
These are just some of the joys that I see.
When I stop and glance at the things around me.

i want
to use
her bones
like trees
and build
my house,
squares
of sky
will be
placed
into walls
for windows,
her earth
will help
protect
and cover
my roof,
and my
doors
will always
be open
for her.

Autumn
On a cold,autumn day.
Leaves fall and dance the day away.
Like ballerinas up in the sky.
They fly and crunch under your feet.
And their grace is what you meet.
You go onto the bench,on your seat.
With leaves crunching under your feet.
While the other leaves fly.
And they dance in the sky like ballerinas.
Only to fall onto the ground.
They sway like dancers on the cold,autumn ground.
Maybe just one cold,autumn day.
You'll join them and dance the day away.
Leading to a starry night.
With no leaves left...

Family Matters
Blood's
thicker than water
But
When out of order
Can
clog arteries
Causing
heart disease
Killing
family trees
As
the leaves
Fall
to the ground
thicker than water
But
When out of order
Can
clog arteries
Causing
heart disease
Killing
family trees
As
the leaves
Fall
to the ground

the normal
green leaves
breathing
for their
momentarily
lifetime,
never seeing
they
are slain
by more
colorful
counterparts,
brilliant
disguises,
new visions
and different
directions,
to try
valiantly their
escaping,
well before
the long
cold breath
of winter.

Nature's Sleeves
Shades of leaves among the trees
dressed in Autumn's pastel overcoats
wearing sleeves for the season
nature cast her dye in dreams
of lanterns lighting the stars
touched by the hand of God

Darkness
The birch tree in autumn
into the painted grey skies
ghosts of the late autumn fires
flames of darkness, touching down on earth
the purest water of the black lake
the great cold death brought forth

September
The developing chill of September
grazes the bones.
Falling leaves
will become little cyclones.
Foliage begins to proclaim & exclaim
deep vibrancy of color.
With the nostalgic beauty
for which I yearn & hunger.
Soon to be barren, gaunt trees
bid farewell to their vanishing leaves.
That finally lay in a state of decay
As the earth bereaved.

Now Walking
Woodwinds oeuvre piccolo and excerpts of thoughts
listening to tunesmiths of Autumn shadows falling
on nature's stained pallet of leaves in earth tones
like a symphony of chandeliers lending me an ear
of minuets and meditation for spiritual angels
in Autumn's rickshaw...now walking

Flowers And Trees
Weeping willows of yellow and green...
Stand in a valley that's truly serene...
Beneath their waving beauty, all nestled in the ground...
Are bright and abundant flowers blooming all around...

what you say...?
the tree did not mind
but the leaf changed it's own color
so it fell...

Nature's Anonymous
In a silent symphony of nature's anonymous
with untitled winds whispering to trees
as God is my witness harmonizing
with the birds and the bees
embracing seasons in Autumn's shade
as a medley of leaves cascade
with infinite horizons
