The Elements Bring Out The Magic I Seek
( Tanka )
〰️🐚〰️
Mother driftwood sighs—
shaped by Nature’s fickle storm,
yet her insistence
the old Sage whispers to me
as I come to pay respects
〰️🐚〰️
the honor embraced,
I feel the tree within her
alive, evoking—
the gulls soar in with each rush
as she hears my ocean breath
〰️🐚〰️

I held roses
for the dying heart
a bruise emblem sleeve to footwear
O Wizened Entity, placed in greatness long may those eyes protect,
bless and save thee.
Gatekeepers watch, awaiting those that book passage
into hidden garden grove
thy wooden wise one we place our faith to Your protection
hearth of spirit, looking glass divine
we Your children,dress Your spritely visage
emblazoned emblem, totem to All Faith
She The Goddess praised within place
No total amnesty Her eyes and Ours...

Quintain...stillness
..Stillness...
peace and quiet…
water reflects blue sky
speckled shade beneath tall trees...I
there lie…
seashells strewn upon a sandy
shore...arrive with high tides
early morning

Mighty Oak of a friend
There was an oak tree alongside of me, beside my youth and windows. Curious wonders frolicked it's autumn leaves, as I dreamt of tricycles upon it's crimson and aurous pillows. I asked it's name and friends we became, to the winds and earth he told. An old tire was hung, songs was sung as he said.. "Smile for me and all you need do is take hold."
Beneath it's green, initialled hearts on bark, did first kiss abound and sound. In a mid of day, there it was through happy leaves, that summers love was found.
Acorns amongst tiny feet, fallen gifts for my children's treasures,...

Lean Mean Oddity Making Machine
Do trees make faces?
Looking at trees or not, does shadow work closely with leaf and branch in order to formulate feature?
If I talk to the face I see, do I give depth to a possible tree personality?
If so, is there such a thing as a jealous tree?
If a tree makes a face, do I smile back at it and give it my best unassuming banta?
Or do I instruct the tree to eat shit?...yes tree, eat some shit!
Once I've discovered the tree's face, do I make good with contest and try to stare the fucker out?
Or do I humour?

the fountains of
my very own full spray

the swelling of
the bosoms of
my burden-bearing friends
i must collect
their sobs and sighs

and burn them ‘neath the lens

where willow weeps
as cool winds blow
in piteous strife
emotional logjams

Mother Willow
Under the willow tree's shade
Falling glass drops
Clearing riverbeds
From wells to buds
There, she holds confession,
Child's lips whisper sacred avowal
What has been done... no... taken!
Her cascading arms of many
Offer refuge,
cave of flowing tendrils
Dancing beams of golden photons
A shower of speckled light
Swaying like beaded curtains hanging in a
doorway;
Wood chimes blown,
Like dandelion clocks
Rings of seasons tell her age
Kiss the canal bank...
Falling glass drops
Clearing riverbeds
From wells to buds
There, she holds confession,
Child's lips whisper sacred avowal
What has been done... no... taken!
Her cascading arms of many
Offer refuge,
cave of flowing tendrils
Dancing beams of golden photons
A shower of speckled light
Swaying like beaded curtains hanging in a
doorway;
Wood chimes blown,
Like dandelion clocks
Rings of seasons tell her age
Kiss the canal bank...

Silent Hero
She stands firm and majestic
ever listening
never complaining
A golden canopy of humble grace
covering all sorrows
Her strength is evident --
A guardian, protector
Beautiful, warm and benevolent
but detached,
almost aloof
Needing no praise or affection
for herself
Unclimbable,
unknowable,
offering no branch for a swing,
and rugged to the touch,
It is clear she's to be admired
from afar
Swaying with life's winds
but never moved
As I lie in her shade
I catch a rare offering...

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Yellow ribbon on the ground
to be tied to that oak tree.
Under cover of darkness.
Secret rite. Token of my love.
Needing it to be your hand
that tied it there for love of me.
Cars paraded down the hill.
Skateboarders momently there.
Someone deep in the garden
watching that buoyant world
which guided me faraway.
Still here's the yellow ribbon
tied to my backpack, having

The Druid’s Tree
( Rowan )
This Rowan tree in bloom I rest beneath,
Whose berries filled her boughs in ruby red.
That ever spread its legend ‘cross the heath,
To giving pause the rising of the dead.
Protector from the devil’s evil sway,
This Rowan tree in bloom I rest beneath.
Whose leaves are from a living bird of prey,
And ne’er a welcome sight to witch’s meet.
I lean against the sav’ry of its wreath,
In dappled shade that quivers in its arms.
This Rowan tree in bloom I rest beneath, ...
