Sharing in Nature’s Beauty

Golden soft was the light that swiftly flew,
as whistling rain pelted majestic oaks
and the soaked birds began to cry for you
as Nature silently wrapped up its cloaks
thirsty for coming dawn, so bold and new.

Late through the night the wind went by in...

Who promised you life would be easy?
Who whispered this excuse?
How can pain be an addition to the life experience?
Answers provided are inadequate to the task.
Who will sit with you and hold you in the unknown?

In the silence of the morning,
I listen for the sound of...

The problem of the inclusive pronoun is still very much a problem for the writer, and needs an accepted solution.  I tried for years with a suggested one of my own, but it never caught on.  So here, I have simply alternated them--over...

mounds of snow piled high
sun and clouds alternated
snow squalls persisted!...

As we walked the warm air broke and swept over me like waves.
I puffed on a sweet cigar 
passing the seafood placed down by the marina.
“we went the wrong way.”
The boats locked behind a cage sat vacant next to the boardwalk 
where a thousand people...

I guess you're seeing a flag?
Trouble comes and go,
The range of my eyes captures all black
Walk with me if life is without you alone,
Steal an emblem to save a city,
When we don't know where to go,breastfeed me to experience your nurture, 
From west comes deity,
Drilling...

Paulette knew he'd love the present and
Excitedly watched as he carefully took the box
And opened the lid to reveal, her heart inside
Crepe paper surrounded it, gently holding an
Echocardiogram of her love for him

Only last month, she was wheeled into the E.R.
Now, the doctors said her...

Coke and weed
Hold nothing on me
She spoke the dream
 I chose to believe

We ride behind the unseen
Stride valleys of green
With shadows that sheen
 And caveats that sparkle

Even further a field
What may you yield
These layers unpeeled
 Where the white rabbit burrowed, will you now follow?

To the...

The children,
Thick and plush upon the rug,
Sat meaningful
As they listened 
With weathered ears.

Tiny Jennifer is seen
Below a crook in the credenza,
Fingering the supple threads
Of her mothers 
Laced persona.

Good night my sweet prince,
Her smile says
As the thieves perch
In their thickets even as we speak.
Swallowing deep
In the...

Pedestals' can be alternated to be giant squid and often a leopard can be seated upon such a throne. Oh such worldwide wisdom of a very smartly dressed frog. In a purple suit. With a black tie and a cap. Clap clap clap then. Applaud...

The last trailing tendril filaments
of moon beams nocturnally trace
fashion an illusory gilded chariot Ark,
whence upon celestial runners,
the approach of dawn's early light
illuminated terrestrial space
which nebulous solar city flanges
revisited since time millennial
hubbub of human race
nsync with Zodiacal constellations,
which appear to shift

as planet Earth axis place
alternated in...

Two penguin parents and their chick
Are bringing people ‘round
To ogle at their lifestyle
And the happiness they’ve found.

Australians are delighted
At the airing of this tale
For the parents, Sphen and Magic,
Are both penguins who are male.

Their obvious affection
Led their keepers to decide
To entrust them with an egg
Neglectful...

"Life is about moments:  Grasp
them when they drift your way."

By the side of the mountain
I stand quietly,watching from
a distance
The valley of our roaring laughter
Our used-to-be musical arena
Where the ground deemed helpless
but to dance in happiness
The roses optionless,but to bow
 in respect
The songs we sung,the rythmns we
alternated with our heroic voices
A place where we composed...

There are nights to be after
Most nights... went simply away
Asking for yet a night to bother
If only this night... this time will stay

How everything I can easily push
How troubles dissolve obediently
How nothing more I stand to lose
No more a cultured mind but think openly

In sync...
