What flowers do we most cherish?

Ones with such aroma they consume our senses,
as sweet purfumed, honeysuckle clad fences,
or those of brilliant hues springing boldly from the ground,
holding our eyes captive, as do pictures in clouds?


Which clouds do we most welcome?

Dreamy, soft ones of contrasting white,
sauntering...

Sailing on an ocean breeze 

In the vast depths of my mind 

Like a sailor on the open seas 

With a world of wonders to find 

Perusing points to ponder 

Through the night unto the morn 

On a global scale I'll wander 

Till an epiphany...

You may not know this,
But sometimes, I sneak 
away from my cynicism,
and see through my vehement
in self loathing, to uncover
the tender optimism of 
my former self, reminiscing
of elated memories, that I
over time, forgot belonged to me,

As I see us, my mind captures the
image, in hopes...

Time To Ponder This World And So Much More

Within dreams that this soul truly adores
Where mountain ridges highlight bright sun's glow
Green valleys below, lakes with sandy shores
Life content as blessed happiness pours-
Pathways that a true, sincere seeker treads
Lined with beautiful flowers shining bright
Gems dancing within...

What if love is just chemistry?
Starts in the head and ends in the body,
Making us dependent....

To
belong
and be loved.
These are two things
the human psyche
needs in order to feel
happy and well adjusted.
When dealing with our fellowman
we should always try our very best
to season our words with love and kindness....

When you hurt someone
and care to apologize,
When you vow to shun
and redeem your lies.    

When you look
beyond your creed
and help those
who are in need,
In the midst of your troubles
When you hold your faith stable,
Of heaven and hell
I cannot censure or exalt
Neither validate...

Point to ponder

Can we not let go
hope for an echo?
Why not love outpour,
whilst keeping no score?

Domino effect,
an ego defect,
veiling light of soul,
as we play life’s role.

Looking up to the sky
I thought of the wind
Of how the wind looks
Clouds are always seen
So are I wonder of the wind
How the wind would look
There are many clouds
One special cloud odd
A cloud different from others
This cloud is rounded shape
With a face and curly top
The...

Jesus laid back on the grass,
peeked at the moon and stars,
an eternity away from his tiny eyes.
     O inhabit the stars - eyes of Jesus!

Did he wink? Did he smile?
Did he wave to the moon and stars
and his undercover angels?

I am sitting on the cliff overlooking the river
Far below in the crevice of the mountains,
Where the waters meander like a ribbon
And the rafters are tiny figurines fighting
The currents like whirligigs on the creek.
It’s a fine place to ponder life’s options,
When all seems grayish skies...

I often sit up and ponder
My mind free to wonder,
Of a future not too yonder
Where under life’s thunder;
Nature is free to plunder!

But through man’s magic
The events aren’t tragic.
In one way fantastic
Yet, in another drastic!
Would you be nostalgic?

As I lie in my hibernation
I envision your visitation
Hear...

It was a tin-roof wooden house standing 
Across the red brick cobblestone street 
Adjacent to a wide open field full
Of shady live oak and sweet smelling tangerine trees where 
My father’s boyhood home was nestled  
Quietly in his home town. 

Often times we’d travel...

Mother's hope shot!
Who will rescue tomorrow?
Unending woe...
..............................................
Midnight town crier!
Women and children take cover
Men running to war.
..............................................
Dry leaf swaying down
Looking from where it falls
Fresh leaves, take caution.
.............................................
Not minding the meat,
Isolated to ponder,
Woeing solution. 
...........................................
Plates without hope
war came frowning
never to smile....
