A Lament of Hope
She sleeps … like in some other kind of form
she weeps even at the gentlest touch, fragile
as if her world tried to give birth
but such effort comes to nothing done
On a mundane Sunday morning
flattened at the altar of cut trees
I wonder what the padres truly think
strangely dressed as they are in kevlar
incense rising from their chainsaws —
they scatter beliefs across the congregation
who watch nations sink further in deep psychosis
During this war of attrition
Mother Earth turns over, maybe in despair,
cities...
she weeps even at the gentlest touch, fragile
as if her world tried to give birth
but such effort comes to nothing done
On a mundane Sunday morning
flattened at the altar of cut trees
I wonder what the padres truly think
strangely dressed as they are in kevlar
incense rising from their chainsaws —
they scatter beliefs across the congregation
who watch nations sink further in deep psychosis
During this war of attrition
Mother Earth turns over, maybe in despair,
cities...

The tree weeps
Because it is natural
To weep when you are scarred
THE EARTH HOLDS ALL PAIN
Because it is natural
To weep when you are scarred
THE EARTH HOLDS ALL PAIN

I am a sap
The blood of a tree
I'm weeping you see
The blood of a tree
I'm weeping you see

TELL ALL
Oh how she wants you back
The land
Is not nature
Without you
(The trees tell all
The rest of us too
But we are so deaf
To their language)
The land
Is not nature
Without you
(The trees tell all
The rest of us too
But we are so deaf

You think
What does a tree
Know about history
Ah
But they do
They have thoughts
And words to say
About you
What does a tree
Know about history
Ah
But they do
They have thoughts
And words to say
About you

guessing plants don’t look ahead
maybe plants feel pain, although I doubt they can see its coming this far in my thinking it’s nice for them to live without fear of one day being dead

Sabbatical Of The Soul
welcome to
the land birthed
in poetry
where
nature harmonizes
with the human
serenading
the senses
as soft winds
whisper remembrance
of naive youthful
simplicity
spontaneous in
experience
gifting
elemental silence
as the
only audience
to roaming thoughts
decompressing
the mind
oxygenating the soul
reviving the
spirited traveler
within
in a space
secreted from society ...

Wings Of A Willow
The Willow
Awaits the tears of Spring
Pale green
Shimmering
Afloat
Upon an almost silent pool
Apart from the soft ripples
Brushing against the reeds
As a soft lily white feather
Smooth as silk
Is caught
On a cool, moist breeze
Drifting
Finally swept up
Onto the succulent grass
Beneath the greening Willow
It's shadow
Overcast
Under a greying sky
by Jemia

Whispers of History: The Beautiful Courtyards of New Orleans
In New Orleans, the courtyards sing,
A symphony of peace and beauty it brings,
A secret haven, hidden away,
Where time stands still, for just one day.
The rustle of leaves and gentle breeze,
Soothes the soul, puts the heart at ease,
The sun shines down on ancient bricks,
As history stands, a timeless mix.
The sound of fountains softly flows,
As butterflies dance, in delicate shows,
A rainbow of colors, bright and bold,
Reflecting stories, still untold.
The Spanish moss, drapes with grace,
A tapestry of green, a delicate lace, ...
A symphony of peace and beauty it brings,
A secret haven, hidden away,
Where time stands still, for just one day.
The rustle of leaves and gentle breeze,
Soothes the soul, puts the heart at ease,
The sun shines down on ancient bricks,
As history stands, a timeless mix.
The sound of fountains softly flows,
As butterflies dance, in delicate shows,
A rainbow of colors, bright and bold,
Reflecting stories, still untold.
The Spanish moss, drapes with grace,
A tapestry of green, a delicate lace, ...

a four hundred year oak
she says you need to grow up
to now I’d always thought that I need to branch out
to now I’d always thought that I need to branch out

Sparrows & Squirrels
Squirrels and sparrows
Sparrows and Squirrels
All playing in the field
Climbing through the trees
Rustling through the leaves
Yes I love them all the same
What a sight
They play here before me
A memorable moment
For my I eyes only to see
Birds flocking with there friends and family
Such a simple life
No cares in the world
No need for strife
Oh to be a sparrow or Squirrel
Yes, this is what fascinates my psyche so
Sparrows and Squirrels

Climbing through the trees
Rustling through the leaves
Yes I love them all the same

His Trace
light paints pictures on the confines of her wall
dancing amid shadows
masked, an unmistakable aura
taking hold its sacred place
he notices within
all of her little intricacies
seduction awaiting his trace
still, she lies in form
perfectly hidden
between each strap
each step of life
feigning reaction
undue attraction
his mind moves over her curves
absorbing all of her
knowledge
encrusted in her roots
a tree giving of life
not stopping
he sips slowly ...
