Cherishin' God's Great Creation from the saddle of his horse!

A pair of Bald Eagles at watch over aerie,
safe from predators except their own kind.

They sit this moment guarding two eggs,
glaring...Read More

A lofty aerie - a fair city beam
With stately air a queen, she stands -

Hello daybreak, good gracious sunrise!
the many harbingers of life
seamless at the hems like satin threads
weaving carpets of morn's carousel rides…

This journey embedded by walks
where dewdrops upon toes
tickle on the grandeur of new dreams--
a magical discovery enshrined
on souls bathed...Read More

so mind the grown gap——Longshoreman’s Fall hearse.)

I arrived tonight in 
Gesthemane
With Stories to tell and 
things to become
You, you remained
In vigil 
Adrift in your aerie,
A bright laconic moon

And take from you  
Take the silence you offer
A Silent cup

The sin of excess use does breed revulsion,
And rampant hollowness turns love to lust,
And ignorance outshouts the learned's repulsion,
And violent vitriol begets disgust.

My heart's emotions clot and freeze unused,
My reason's aerie 'voids their plaguing...Read More

Flexing its lithesome wings to prepare for its daily bourne.
The rising sun enhances it exquisite gilded plumage.
Gentle zephyrs will uphold its wings, its flight to assuage.

From atop a craggy...Read More

The Dove!!
What would we do
in the darkness of icy winter
sit cold and hungry
listen to its inane cooing?

There once was a Chihuahua named Hairy
Wispy as air, white his hair, and scary
Like a ghost he'd appear
Quiet, soft as cashmere
Sometimes it seems he's dropped from the aerie
