(2014)
Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars
Dark bulk of a single bird, With red puffed up chest, As winter’s breeze sways his perch…
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
Half a world away, I walk a narrow, stone path. In the rice fields, the Balinese people
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
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
There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds, The hidden imperfections Of my existence.
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
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
Summer is near it’s end, I regret not visiting my childhood home, near the gulf, where the sunset
It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature
