You forgot my day,
My sad~sad birthday,
No card~gift or call,

A bonsai tree glows,
sheathed with steady hands.
Palms reflect sunlight.
Green shades connect strength,
our roots to our leaves.

The early bird's gone,
T. Rex was his name,
Ancestor of birds,
Of all hues and songs,
Quaint to imagine!

Laugh...

Starting from little seeds;
They both grow in a womb.

These woods do not breathe
Song of leaf on wind
No melody falls
Colors do not stir
Apart, in shadow

Path crumbling
No stones to guide
Heavy gray light
Where ghosts whisper

In secret

Blanketing the Earth

Cherry blossoms bloom,
Blanketing the earth,
With soft white petals
Mortality graced.
time ephemeral –

Leaves are scattered,
While voices sing
Beneath blue skies,
Until next year –

Ambiance
Embodied
Forever

Beauty
Beyond
Reason

I was driven 
By a restless hunger
With an overpowering need 

A voice from the
Shadows was reaching
Out to me..

My thoughts became
Empty
So 'I could listen

Dismal stars out
Contrite to feelings
The moon glows brightly.
The storm is inside.
Tears form as I cry.

Regret, I don’t.
Have I done wrong?
Here and now stand
Weeping for hope.

Looking down on young life
The future what is there?
A chance or more chances
To become more~improve
