Premium Member California Highway # 1
Every bend in the winding cliff road
Brings a new vista, a new post card.
Crashing waves that beat on ancient rocks..
Depth of emotion that leaves you breathless.

It brings an appreciation for life,
Begs to find the truth that allows peace.
It carries you to another dimension...
The past, present...

The Fires in California: 

The fire of God is falling, it brings the purification of God.  Spotless, and
without blemish.  The holiness, the Glory of God is coming.  I demand
holiness, says the Lord, I demand it.  The vapors of God is coming,...

California Dream
Cruising southwards to LA from Sac
a midnight filled with songs ‘n Luna, 
light-etching hills in a black infernal…

It was a leviathan’s back on which I
felt the tires unrolling a chilled grief ~

Owlish-full, a hypnotic moon, ‘n Dido
reminiscing tunefully about surrender
negating white flags and loves forlorn...

In Old California 6
Then Margarita gave her father mind,
for she was very happy being home.
Hence three years placed in a covent confined
where she's had little use of brush and comb.
Removed from places she loved most to roam,
the fields and plains of fine San Luis Ore.
For loving Yankee, sealed...

Premium Member It Sometimes Rains in Southern California
As a kid in Southern California
I loved rainy days.
However much it rained,
I wanted it to rain more.
Mom had us buckle up our rain boots to go to school - 
And put on our hooded yellow raincoats.
Mrs. Stillman, our second grade teacher, made popcorn on rainy...

Aquamarine, winks.
     Observing them, they do blink.
     A possum, just thinks.

Highway One California

Lovely and so cooling, was driving my 
1956 Chevy Bel-Aire ragtop!
Its whitewall tires, its heavenly hubcaps.
Just stunningly gleaming!
That magnificent red and white convertible!
With joys, so profoundly thrilling!

Premium Member Hotel California Aka Hotel Find Yourself
Flying down the freeway I almost miss the place;my goal.
Where I can find the reflection of my eternal soul
Something exotic and mysterious I almost fly by….
It is Hotel California, drawn by an Eagle’s eye.

I park my Harley, and see pretty boys strutting around.
It is a...

Premium Member As California Burns
Fire starter using flame
To burn kill destroy lame 
What is your end game
To make money to gain

California she suffers so
Set ablaze her forests glow
People steeples burning red
Hard to watch tears are shed

What is the reason or cause
Arson or accident or natures fault 
Too many questions...

The Ballad of John Muir Woods
The Ballad of John Muir Woods

	
	I squint at the splendid morning sun	 
	golden filtered bright rays conveyed.	
	Speaking they say, sit, little one		 
	rest a spell in our noble shade.

	I squint at this forest of titans
	sitting, I wait for more whisperings.
	They weigh my thoughts across the...
