(2014)
After a ride through the desert which is haunting and beautiful at the same time.
Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life
There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal
Easing down the gravel road, yellow leaves spiral across, like a welcome
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
The buck in the garden Chewing up hard earned Labor, His antlers raise, His ears perk up, as
The many places I have been And countless faces I have seen, The many tales to be told, Into the universe, they unfold. It’s all a passing show,
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.
