The Same Destination

...All the people from the village 
are on the same pilgrimage 
and they know 
that they must all go with the flow.


It's always been the same story
for each generation
has the same destination...

lost in the evergreen forest

....

                        lost in the
                         conifers
                            the 
                   bristlecone pines

                       out her cry

Beneath a mountain sky;
Called by name Bristlecone.
Twisted tree all alone
With green needles so dark 
Life clings stoic and stark.
Worn wood with thin bark edge
Locked...

Till and Plough

...A flower blooms in paltry places
To nature's gardens tall and wide
Little eyes on petalled faces
A sweet short time before she dies

Her moment flowered like no other
Short-lived but more than ...

It's Twine Time

...It’s Twine Time!

The Bristle Cone Pine

...While wandering thru the forest pines
                                      A lesson I found true
                          The ones that live on the valley floor
                                 ...

Spirits In the Wood

...Standing all alone in the woods;
eyes shut, I feel the lilting light.
Sun dodges needles through the crown,

Brisk breezes quicken and rustle.
Bristlecone pines e...

The Prairie Wolf

...The pasture smiled and gave its blessing nearby the sacred gentle river

Solemn sun sent tender rays through the moisture of dispersing clouds

Shadows of dawn had turned into a clement plethora ...

Beyond My Storm Door

...A portal to another realm 
Etched frame and frost adorned
The cadence of the fire’s sound
Keeps all my senses warm

A vast array of bristlecone pine
And snow tipped, Douglas fir
Stand just bey...

By thine stonewalling art,
That we might have a love fest and glee
Of a lasting wetdream of rue free,
A love that endures fine,
Like the bristlecone pine.

water is meant for life
and truth is meant for living

sometimes exits close
sometimes we have no choice
those directions that times po...

Methuselah

...For four-thousand years and more
He’s withstood the tests of time;
Extremes of heat and cold
Haven’t cut him down in his prime;
Even now he proudly stands

Trees? Are We?

...So, me?  A tree?
How could that be?

You say they're much like humans
If that's the case; as you might say,
