Let's meet at the beach
September sun, late summer still holding on
Days grow shorter, nights become long
Let's meet at the beach, we have free reign
Crowds have disappeared, less stress, less strain
A pleasant walk, you & I on the sand
Enjoying life's finer pleasures, please take my hand
The air is cooler, the ocean quite warm
Out in the distant sky, we see a brewing storm
Were not discouraged, we faced many storms throughout our run
We learn to trust more fully, and to us that's second to none
Days grow shorter, nights become long
Let's meet at the beach, we have free reign
Crowds have disappeared, less stress, less strain
A pleasant walk, you & I on the sand
Enjoying life's finer pleasures, please take my hand
The air is cooler, the ocean quite warm
Out in the distant sky, we see a brewing storm
Were not discouraged, we faced many storms throughout our run
We learn to trust more fully, and to us that's second to none

Stillness
I sit here looking at the burnt orange sunset
Reflecting off the flat pond
I am no painter with a brush and easel
My thoughts paint the scene
My words color it
May it be dark or light or somewhere in between
Still, I look at the stillness
I envy the quiet in this moment of dusk
To see peace and never have it
Like tempting you with the sweetest delicacy
Only a centimeter away and still never allowed to have it
Even the birds are quiet in this reflective peace
...

sacred blood oath
the collective pool of thought is cleansed
a water sprite with tree guardians
in the forests among the ferns, I dance
my soul is free...
the earth herself calls me into her wonderment
my soul protects her sacredness
I listen intently to her thoughts
chanting quietly in her hollows
the animals know to obey her will
they keep her trust
I hear the ancestors drumming
sounds like the heart-pounding
keeping a steady rhythm of understanding
we walk after the faith
knowing we are but gardeners
we will one day...
a water sprite with tree guardians
in the forests among the ferns, I dance
my soul is free...
the earth herself calls me into her wonderment
my soul protects her sacredness

SKINNY DIPPING SPOT
During hottest month of the drought
We youngsters would go swim in nowt,
Within a wooded stretch of brook
That we thought grown ups would not look.
We were at age when pubic hair
Began to adorn us 'down there'
And the girls had upon their chests
The beginnings of adult breasts.
It made us feel wicked and free
Going bathing "in the noddy" -
Until day Dad said (to my shame),
When he was young 'we' did the same;
On that stretch of the brook, no less,
They too went in state of undress...
("It's where your mother and I met, ...

BE SOME PLACE ELSE
If you could just be able to go somewhere else, to escape for a righteous blessing. AS you become so invisible. TO the insanity from the negativity, and drama, and confusion of the world. 🌎 Where would you rather be, here amongst the deepness, of your own sanity. Feeling your spiritual pain leave your thoughts to find thyself, yet sometimes feeling still alone me myself and I. Yet you have a connection, to the outer limits of your own thoughts. ☺️ TO experience a good vibration within, this place far away from society. THAT only you can see and feel the inner vibes. Which...

The Lost Books
The news announced the sinking ship;
water pushing its metal hull
off a gangplank of the straight
until it crumbled as crystal over rock
Planes spotted flotsam and jetsam
—pinched debris riding a caterpillar
of watery waves inching across the sea—
its waterlogged bite engorged
from strewn pages as leaves
sinking into a survivorless
translucency
Below, a commandeered army
—a delegation of new ghosts
manifesting posthumously
because sometimes Poseidon reads
while sitting peacefully at his desk—

The Midnight Pacific
I dreamt of going to the beach
but the beach came to me
with all the colors to beseech
a midnight mind at sea.
And all washing in on a breeze
of sweet pacific air
and sweeter still through all the trees
of forests everywhere!
Then to an ocean sky I woke
of multi-layered gray,
wherefrom Poseidon gently spoke
his hydrologic say...
"Oh, when you finally get some sleep
when you were overdue
my spirits over land will creep...
and bring the sea to you"
but the beach came to me
with all the colors to beseech
a midnight mind at sea.
And all washing in on a breeze
of sweet pacific air
and sweeter still through all the trees
of forests everywhere!
Then to an ocean sky I woke

wherefrom Poseidon gently spoke

"Oh, when you finally get some sleep

my spirits over land will creep...

Category Five - Direct Hit
A nail from a
missing shingle
caught my
leggings
as I watched the
bloated carcass
of my neighbor’s dog
drift past
the rain gutters.
I could hear survivor
cries in the distance
and I added my
voice to theirs
in some vain
hope that
helicopter
salvation,
was real.
Beneath my cold
wet,
shoeless,
body
lies the
sodden
remains of
a life.
My grandpa’s ashes
bobbing...

Oxygen
Will your last breath be an exhale that just continues on until all air is gone?
Can it be anything else?
No more inhales.
No more anything.
No more you.
You never existed in the first place.
You were just an imagining in consciousness.
Things only touched a convention , never you.
You can't be touched physically.
Because you don't exist physically.
You're just attached to something created by contact with something else.

The Path of Least Resistance
I thought it sounded a little crazy
But his theory could go the distance
When he claimed that water is lazy
It takes the path of least resistance.
And when it comes to an impasse
It will try to find a new course,
But given enough volume and mass
It can become a destructive force.
But his theory could go the distance
