Nature In Stone
Nature in stone
various in hue
shapes, texture
and hardness
some that I've seen and touched
others I've yet to
maybe one day I will
and that day I look forward to
because what is life
without dreams?
something you can reach and touch
something one can feel
sometimes gritty or smooth
sometimes sharp on the bare foot
or hot
as you walk in the sand
sometimes cool as the water
flowing over it
sometimes boiling hot
as magma
sometimes razor sharp
sometimes soft as wet clay

Rings Of Silence
Toward those rings of silence
where echoes find that pierce
of remembrance
entranced
in a certain beginning
listen to that language
where whispers rise
wave by wave
in a translucence
of reflections
meandering within the clouds
within a simple innocence
grasping in imagination
could it be
in that threshold
some secrets are found?
or are conversations lost
within a rift
of mystery
where shadows smile
within the chaos
where echoes find that pierce
of remembrance
entranced
in a certain beginning
listen to that language
where whispers rise
wave by wave
in a translucence
of reflections
meandering within the clouds
within a simple innocence
grasping in imagination
could it be
in that threshold
some secrets are found?
or are conversations lost
within a rift
of mystery
where shadows smile
within the chaos

Nature Is Known
Billowing smoke
unquinched within columns
where illusions touch
nourishment found
yet somehow lost
divisions made
within that edge
where backwaters
gurgle in the stone
fingers of granite
rise in quartz
nuisances
mired
in the quiet
where shadows smile
lairs forgotten
in a simple past
whispers sing
in that
honor
where
nature is known
unquinched within columns
where illusions touch
nourishment found
yet somehow lost
divisions made
within that edge
where backwaters
gurgle in the stone
fingers of granite
rise in quartz
nuisances
mired
in the quiet
where shadows smile
lairs forgotten
in a simple past
whispers sing
in that
honor
where

To Walk That Soft Earth
To walk that soft earth
where rhythms of life
find that special song
listen to the wind
and let it speak to you
Its whisper
reveals those secrets
that allow one to smile
listen to the water
and let it speak to you
its wisdom
reveals life
as it flows
around one
listen to the earth
and let it speak to you
its strength
comforts you
as you walk
down life's path
listen to the fire
and let it speak to you
its light
finds that truth
and peals back the shadows
that hide
the hurt
found in one's heart
listen to the spirit
and let it speak to you
its love
allows one to continue
that walk
we find ourselves in
that echo
we call life
where rhythms of life
find that special song
listen to the wind
and let it speak to you
Its whisper
reveals those secrets
that allow one to smile
listen to the water
and let it speak to you
its wisdom
reveals life
as it flows
around one
listen to the earth
and let it speak to you
its strength

as you walk

As Life Continues
free as the winds
where an eagle
spreads his wings
among the clouds
treads like the wolf
following in the mountains
where in the distance
you hear his howl
to his mate
crystal waters
flowing towards the waterfall
where a mist
rises in the heavens
and mother nature
finds her smile
as life continues
in its own
sultry way
where an eagle
spreads his wings
among the clouds
treads like the wolf
following in the mountains
where in the distance
you hear his howl
to his mate
crystal waters
flowing towards the waterfall
where a mist
rises in the heavens
and mother nature
finds her smile
as life continues
in its own
sultry way

Revelations Arrive
Reason?
within that calmness
held in the past
where simplicity finds
that completeness
Revelations arrive
within a collective
yet invocation
slides
within a style
celebrations touch
upon a precarious journey
where fulfillment is met
defined by what?
that is the question
and yet
some are still looking for the answer
within that calmness
held in the past
where simplicity finds
that completeness
Revelations arrive
within a collective
yet invocation
slides
within a style
celebrations touch
upon a precarious journey
where fulfillment is met
defined by what?
that is the question

To Touch Within Rhythm
Blues find that way
to touch within that rhythm
of the soul
those visions
where voices soothe
a heart in the glimmering
moonlight
silent secrets bound
within those echoes
which flutter
into the shadows
counterpoint into
that boundary of time
warm sensuous moments
which circle in that
satisfaction
to touch within that rhythm
of the soul
those visions
where voices soothe
a heart in the glimmering
moonlight
silent secrets bound
within those echoes
which flutter
into the shadows
counterpoint into
that boundary of time
warm sensuous moments
which circle in that
satisfaction

Shaking Your Head
Earth
touching within the horizon
sky
reaching through the clouds
moment by moment
as those seconds
fly on by
leaving one pondering
those questions
with answers
somehow never found
leaving one laughing
at themselves
yet realizing that some things
find that strange
sense of humor
that somehow
makes you shake your head
touching within the horizon
sky
reaching through the clouds
moment by moment
as those seconds
fly on by
leaving one pondering
those questions
with answers
somehow never found
leaving one laughing
at themselves
yet realizing that some things
find that strange
sense of humor
that somehow
makes you shake your head

Earth Spirit Rhythms
Down Deep
beneath the dark earth
an earth spirit sound
knowing certain rhythms
that spoke to him
those eons of time
where mountains rose
molten lava
gives life
as a blood stream
where sometimes it erupts
and spews like an angry god
other times
it's calm
like a beach
where its sister
the ocean
rolls its sand in its own rhythm
some it rumbles
as earthquakes reminding some
that they don't have
the final word
beneath the dark earth

knowing certain rhythms
that spoke to him

Someone Let The Lunatics Out
Crazy things
that seem to happen lately
no logic
no reason
leaving one
wondering what the hell?
it's almost as if
someone let the lunatics
out of the nearby
sanitarium
someone playing with chaos
saying
let's see just what can happen
leaving one looking over their shoulder
hoping that the crazies
simply leave them alone

He Hears The Call
flying into the clouds
goes an eagle
following the Dolores River
feeling the freedom
as he soars
knowing that this
is a life he wants
within the wild
he hears the call
as it beats
within his heart
nature smiles
as life continues
may the wind flow
beneath your wings
as you continue
your journey
goes an eagle
following the Dolores River
feeling the freedom
as he soars
knowing that this
is a life he wants
within the wild
he hears the call
as it beats
within his heart
nature smiles
as life continues
may the wind flow
beneath your wings
as you continue
your journey

Wild Woods
Wild woods
raging within that wilderness
where life emerges
a breeze
flows through my hair
and somehow
it energies me
Why?
maybe I feel
the spirits
that live here
birds chattering
among themselves
conversations
understood only
by themselves
ancients
at one time
lived and ruled here
yes we still
feel their presence
and we honor you

Spoken
Spoken from the heart
tis said
yet does one?
we see this world
with such cynicism
truth is sometimes forgotten
why?
because we assume
that someone else will tell it
and we don't walk the walk
most only...
talk the talk
we need to ask the question
why?
and keep asking it
until someone finally
simply listens

Memories That Touch The Soul
Green pools
where a slow current runs
trout rising to grab a bug
sandstone ledges
on an overlook
pinion pines rise against the upper side
of the mountain
bluebelly lizards sunning themselves
the latter gather to catch a fly
a waterfall flowing down a box canyon
sagebrush blooming
where one can smell the scent
that reminds one of the southwest
the cry of of a bald eagle
the yip of the coyote
howling on a full moon
memories that touch the soul
whispering...

Quick Is The Hunt
overlooking the sandstone cliffs
eyes leer in from the shadows
awaiting the prey
there the cougar leaps
and knocks down the deer
in a moments notice
so quick is the hunt
the cougar kills
its prey
the mother yelps
for her children
to come eat
in the distance
from the underbrush
comes two cubs
to join their mother
for the feast
that is to come

and knocks down the deer
