...Some haunt me pleasantly,
Using the grains of dewy silence that speak loudly
Within the long, grey halls of history.
I recline on such images with smiles I borrow from
The penetralia of my soul a...

as we metamorphose

...Inside a chrysalis, a pupa clad in logs,
was a home in which to spell and dwell, 
for my transformation.
I slept undressed, surrendered to my fate, 
as my grubby caterpillar form, 
dissolved und...

echoes of bells shrill
in quiet quelled silent shrine

Wokery, no just jiggery pokery

...Febrile Fog obfuscates palimpsest varnished promises..

Naysayers hoodwinked... deluded players peeling layers..denuded..

Crossing Paths Coalesce

...

wandering in wasteland 
of denuded life 
                desolate
sinuous track 
takes me 
to the terrain 
of nowhere
                nebulous
I’m entangled 
in enmeshing web 
       of...

Bouquet Of Belonging

...

A nomad wanders  
in labyrinthine wasteland 
of the denuded life, 
          desolate,
the sinuous dusty track 
takes me  
to the obscure terrain 
of forlorn nowhere.
My soul’s lattice,

A Vine in Winter

...denuded of foliage 
left with the bare essence of my existence
a gnarled unassuming frame
from which new life will burst forth in spring
firmly anchored in fertile soil 
the terroir for the vine...

Our Natural State

Ebullient ecstasy cascades in the rolling valley of time,
changes tenor with the reflection of the chromatic sky 
on the parchment of delightful dawn and dulcet dusk. 
On the sensuous cerulean...

circus chagrin

the crowd dispersed in floods of tears
disappointed that the spectacle was over

Doubting Thomas luxuriates under Dylanesque milkweed

...Doubting Thomas luxuriates under Dylanesque milkweed

made fibrous threads...constituting heavy blanket

A Sestina on old growth forests

...Old growth forests are a sight to behold             
 Humans wiping them out makes me angry
 Politicos who support this can go to Hell             
 Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods          ...

Confluence

Ebullient ecstasy cascades carefree 
in the winding valley of the teeming time,
changes the tenuous tenor with the reflection 
of the chromatic sky in the overflowing palette,

Ode To Communicating with a Cedar Tree

...Strophe
I
O ancient cedar tree so grand and wise
In BC’s old growth forest ,I found thee
I sat beneath your trunk and asked advice ;
I sensed the presence of  the cedar tree

Masked Midas Mind

...

The migratory mind 
      indomitable,
of the spirited surfer
      possessed,
waltzes on waves of life,

      demented,
fling the fractured moon,
dark troughs descend...

MEMORIES OF SPRING
