Best Surrounds Poems

Daffodil majorettes lead the spring parade
Mom fox had lured out a reluctant kit
Verdant grasses are growing lovely shade
For dainty dulcet purple violet

Gentle nurturing rain from day or two
Coaxes her lace lilac to gently wake
Meadow rainbow chiffon a lovely hue.
Faerie-felt awe surrounds beautiful lake.

Carpet of tulips...

Through meadows I walk

immersed in tall grasses

Yellow, blue, and white wildflowers

sway ever so gently

along with the summer wind

that blows 'cross bright blue oceans

over rocky hills and vibrant valleys

rustles leaves amongst mighty sequoia tree tops

meanders along babbling brooks

and dives down into creek beds.

I stand here and...

Deep in our forest woodland,
	where white tailed deer roam free,
I thought to take a moment,
	to listen quietly,
to the whispered sighing,
	of breezes in the trees.
As pleasant a sound as I have ever heard,
	for my senses it doth please!

There I came upon deer grazing,
	they showed no sign...

Through endless meadows I walk
immersed in wondrous tall grasses

Yellow, blue, and white wildflowers
sway ever so gently
along with the summer wind
that blows 'cross the bright blue ocean

Over rocky hills and vibrant valleys
rustling leaves amongst mighty sequoia tree tops

Meandering along babbling brooks
and diving down into glorious creek...

Lava veins while hand washing
needing a camel,
Forcing bottled water.
 
Bandanna dream feeding
warning on chem-paper
tinkering on a clip board.

Ear to conditioning air
customer complant service
Blue 80 there table number.

Bush grooming for butts
Pecking the capped
textured by stone, colored dirty.

This hunter's green is in envy
statement from "Laurel"
"Hary" sleeping.

Job-headed to...

Happy that I live but more,
That the sky is bright blue.
Happy for summer roses after rain,
And for spring glimmers and dew.

Happy for sunsets and warm days,
And for rain that turns to snow.
Happy trees grow green leaves,
And I get to see flowers grow.

Happy that I more...

Going deep within, magic will not live with
untruth, lies, deceit, magic becomes magic
by surrounding our souls, heart, and minds
with the power of loves truth from the start
becoming one with the divine.

Unnoticed, we are forever being invaded by
forces unknown to us, through thoughts words
and deeps that...

I'm tying my wrists across the way he used to kiss me, back to bedposts and marking bruises


that resemble


February's


hands....


He bites his nails and PACES


left foot right and cry through telephone lines that


bite me...


He's terrified of losing me, of forgetting how I rested my lips upon...

"beauty surrounds"

waves quietly crash
winds softly swirl
beauty of life surrounds

above ocean floors
overseeing tides
seagulls proudly soar

reflections unveil
crystals brightly shine
clear are mind and eye

Lonliness surrounds, hovering over like a thick black cloud
wondering whether it will go away,fearing it
is here to stay and will never leave or fade away
Loneliness is not  a sickness but can make you feel
ill,wondering if  there is anyone who cares, is there 
anyone...

of grief the dread
here you are dead

the guilt I have I can’t forget
I carry the cross all day long
my heart and mind they’re not so strong
it left me lonely and upset.

I carry the cross all day long
the love I had forced me to act
all my...

Everyone Surrounds

1998
They gathered around the cake like hogs
at a watering hole. It sat in front of The You

that had been dyeing grey. But today you 
painted over yourself in yellows that burst

from the chest. The candles glow against 
your shadow, and you used to count...

See the wonders of the world
As they pass to us unfurled
Such an amazing light
Sun shining so bright
Flying on the wing
Hear the birds sing
The grass so green
Such a sight has you ever seen
The lilies in bloom
Orange hue in their flume
I see stars in...

Red earth, ancient rocks
A steel gray sky infusing
Soundless reflections.

The goodness of God surrounds me every day
It goes before me in all I do
And overwhelms me body and soul
For he loves me unconditionally 
Day and night I wallow in His goodness 
Even when I go the way of sinners 
He never gives up on...
