Geology

Excavation begins,
                             chisel strikes
                            hardened rock
                                 surface
                        So uncompromising
                     that not a mark is made.
                             Another more
                            powerful strike
                            breaks through,
                             a small cranny.
                                   Slowly,
                                  precisely,
                                  painfully,
                           the work pays off.
                            Layer upon layer
                               lies beneath,
                           how disconcerting,
                          so much more work
                                to be done
                                  to reach
                                  the core.
                                   Steadily
                         each layer fragments,
                                  revealing
                                 yet another,
                               hardened more
                             by time's passage.
                             The digging down
                            seems endless yet,
                           with sweat and tears
                               and little sleep,
                              the work is done. 
                                  The journey
                                 to the center
                             reveals the magma,
                                  the essence,
                               the truest form,
                                  beneath all
                             the hardened rock.

Haiku

In the distance saws
Assault morning's quietness.
Tears fall like the trees.

Haiku

Down,down come the trees,
Forests ravaged by pure greed.
Is nothing sacred?

Hallowed Ground

Sioux,Saura once trod here.
                                            Dwelling here on river's edge.
                                                   Their Spirits remain.
                                                            Quiet.
                                                      Hear them now,
                                            Footsteps on the path we walk,
                                                    voices in the breeze.
                                                 This is hallowed ground.
                                       Each tree,rock,mount,stream revered.
                                                     Let it be so now.

Haiku

Summer's heat has come.
Steamy,sultry,lazy days.
River's cool relief!

Haiku

Water droplets fall.
Eyes closed,they are my mantra,
Cleanse this weary soul.

Haiku

Bird song in the morn
                                         Starts the day off with Nature's choir,
                                         Perfect Harmony.

Haiku

Church confounds my mind!
Creeds,dogma,rigid doctrine.
I'll just walk these woods!

Haiku

Hanging Rock stands tall
                                           Testament to life's passage,
                                           Assures time goes on.

God is with us now
in the trees,land,river,air.
Nature testifies.
