and mountain lakes. Clouds lack
a clean line.
They seldom get...

Regal Reign
A subtle shift in the shadows of sunset
exposes the splendid Moon as She rises.
Just as a cunning gambler hedges his bet
She shines Her best displaying Her surprises.
She slinks across the restless sky, a coquette,
limning traits...

Surfing the bardoIt is at eventide
When scarlet turns red
We feel the light of God inside
Our presence by bliss beats led
Rests in the toroidal heart

Melting hearts and...

I've lost everything.
Tiny violins between their ears,
large trumpets in mine.

Which part of me has gone,
for I no longer recognize.
Change of...

Sunset at KiawahKiawah's sun dips,
Marshes blush in soft pastels,
Spring whispers low.
Egrets dance in twilight's grace,
Day ends in a gentle sigh....
