Alpenglow Poems

Stroke

...Somewhere over the mountain, hidden away,
There’s a land that is calling; I must not delay.
Somewhere over the mountain, that’s where she’ll be,
In the alpenglow, Mary's waiting for me.

They sa...

The Alpenglow

...And when i climbed the mound of grass
The sun set at a stop
Birds came swirling round
Outcrops in the light
Waves crashed under, instability;
Glass houses and rocks.

I think i got there.
I t...

Cameo in Indigo

...day-glo lights the magic of fallen
snow over mountains weaving
shadow to-all shades of blue
alpenglow light interleaving
iceflow on slopes shining in 
afterglow over a white meadow
aglow for tr...

Himalayan High

...She found a job near Annapurna and when she trekked around a turn
It was like walking into a wall of beauty, awesome like a burn
It sometimes stopped her cold; this display words could not surpass:...

A Journey Through the Mountain's Majesty

...Dawn's Embrace:
Adret: Dawn paints the face of giants,
Where sunlight warms and shadows dance.
Aiguille: Fingers pierce the azure sky,
A challenge whispered, sharp and high.

Earth's Whispers: ...

A Sitka Sunset

...Churning listless feeble foaming waves
Pods of Humpback whales splash and dive
Reflecting sunset’s waning rays.
As curly crimson clouds arrive,
Far Edgecombe’s volcanic cone
Shines bright in alp...

Winter Wellspring

...winter wellspring

greyness dyes white clouds
 brittle gales howl ice and pant ~
  still meadows shiver

sequoia trees thirst
 fog mists bathe redwood giants ~
  rose petals gild snow

Epiphany

...Evening’s shadows start to drift
Down to the valley far below
Like glaciers made of amethyst
Crowned by the mountain’s alpenglow

Golden poppies and mariposas
Offer up their humble cups of dew

Fog

...AS, the fog embrace the spectacular peaks,       
  It wraps the landscape gently with         
           snowy white veil,
  When fog drifts slowly it makes             
         sturdy trees s...

Circadian Wobble

...Circadian Wobble

Circadian tripped through a trap door
Into amended reality of light and time
Where confusion missteps through the waltz of the hours,
And intervals of minutes
Glare at each ot...

November Artistry

...November Artistry

Beneath the artist sculptor’s hand
November shapes a changing strand
Hidden beauty seen in the trees
Now revealed through fallen leaves
Twisted branches reach up so high
Art...

All Told

...All told!
Each day, I say,
Socially dormant, I may
Never flagrant, rather
Concealed, in essence
Quite quiescent per se
Until she appeared, as
An alcoholic version of aquapanela
Fragrant she i...

Unruffled

...UNRUFFLED 

Citadel on the rocky mountain stair
Stood gazing changing seasons in the air
Each passing year its bosom filled with tales of plenty shades
Of Knights, of Queens, of Foes...

Phoenix

...--
Unfamiliar 
Earth beneath my feet
Tranquility is vast
In my hand it escapes less readily than water 
Thoughts seem empty 
Sublime in flavor it hunts me down 
No teeth or mark to bear

Shored

...The sea’s silver ripples gently undulate  
to call upon the coast and tease my feet.
I am but a child.  A threat, not a sign;
they let me play in the breeze and brine.
 
Waves in wild gyration j...
