Earth Takes a Fresh Breath
asteroids descend
lava erupts from below
flood waters sweep clean
leaving traces of its stay
for wildfires to have its way

BRING YOUR SIN
Bring your sin and the ugliness within
It’s all we bring: our part of the equation
But He quickens us to Christ
This Desire of every nation
The ingredients found in the preparation
Is the recipe for God’s vindication
It’s more than a metaphor
It’s an intimate union prepared by the Lord
And as we doubt and fall, sinking as did Peter
Let us

INDIVIDUATION
The in-between heat of August is there
And here
For those of you who dare
To embrace the early signs of magic
Katydids clacking at dusk
To the moon’s silver fingers
Parting the leaves
Cicadas rattling like tambourines
I come across an eagle feather
Long black and brown
Wonder if it actually fell from a vulture
Either way I am protected
From what?
Yesterday and tomorrow
In the morning
A

Southwest
It was a soft rain -- yes, I stated soft,
for rain has many texture -- some even
color. Imagine a spectrum-brush dragged
across a well wetted, primed sky, which
muted technical, dully call~ a Rainbow.
It was a long anticipated rain:
Saguaro Sentinels weary, dryly
on guard -- bristled their natural pins and needles
A night, of many,

Together With Nature
I see the way the trees sway when your name leaves my lips
I hear the screams of their howls and the thoughts they wish to blow away
Their thoughts,
My thoughts,
Our thoughts,
They become whole, they become one
Together with nature, yet keep me grounded
I still think about you, I see us in the stars

Listen To The Wind
~ The weather has many faces ~ whistling in the headwind ~ quote by poet

in the sound of the wind slow down restless thoughts
Observe the thoughts without judging or interpret

Celestial Two
* *
Through space and time,
Galaxies far and wide,
You’re the brightest star,
My galactic, cosmic guide.
The moon and sun,
So far up above,
Brought us both together,
Each other’s one true love.
A vast celestial view,
Gazing here as two,
My universe first began,
And will always end with you

Rahu’s Shadow
When I was born, I believed myself free,
But Rahu came—
A warden of illusions, a prisoner-wider,
Keeper of debts written in the ink of forgotten lives.
He spoke without mercy,
“You will occupy cell number 8.
Do not ask what crime you committed—
Karma remembers what you pretend to forget.”
My mother wept, begging for reprieve,
But the verdict had been sealed
Long before

fairy farm was ablaze with fruity trees
gentle breezes swayed laden branches
canaries sang, cows mooed, all at ease
FIGS, GRAPES, HACKBERRY, IMBE, JACKFRUIT

tiny tier temple newly whitewashed invited
brass buddha bell and rose garden gated

Thyme and Lavender Time
Thyme and Lavender, in time to purify where Earth meets feet,
Bathed in springs, so soothing and sweet.
Nature's spirituous spices give blessings,
And they're forever making the winds refreshing.
Wise chefs blend the cauldron of spices,
Herbal passages to culinary horizons.
Kin to mint, Thyme's a delight to nature's family.
Thyme is said to guard against ancient immunity.

Evolutionary Wisdom
The horseshoe crab dates back 450 million years, almost twice as old as the oldest dinosaurs
It hasn't changed much over that time, surviving five waves of extinction
It moves along the sea bottom like a bull dozer, clawing and crawling and grinding
It eats pretty much anything in its path; five star, no star, no problem
It has

Sage Green Man of the Forest
He's a visual fusion of forest and inner flame,
A radiant pulse of abundance,
Clad in crafted clothing of galore,
Stitched in autumn tones from folklore.
He wears leaves of distinction, orange embers,
Yellow citrine, and emerald green.
He nurtures the woodlands in newborn sunrays
That fall through the morning haze,
Striking the heart where his roots belong,
Enhancing the mind with crystal clear
