Earthbound Poems

Caterpillar Wisdom

"If I were meant to soar up there with you,"
said the creepy caterpillar to the colourful butterfly,
fluttering by overhead,
"and not stay crawling earthbound here instead,
I would have been born with wings,
and it will be over my body when dead,
akin to a murder of crows,
before you'll get me up
in one of those
funny-looking flying things."

Earthbound Autumn Pageant

Dream leaf “fall” usher 
motley hue cascade unfurls
dull gray sky gaunt sun 
mud strewn  pockmark on limp moss,
wet nabs ripe fruit orchard splurge 

Moonlit gemstone reach
lunar auspice chill whisper
green hewn splintered twig 
earthbound autumn wild pageant
scaly branches in a heap

Dark cobalt clouds float
city folk’s shivering gaze
market stalls thriving 
the whiff of laden soup bowls
coffee

Serve, Set, Dig, Spike

Most games are well-grounded,
    To earthen goals they can defeat.
        While few rise above the horizon,
            With constant volleys they can repeat.

            

Earthbound Paradise

Earthbound Paradise

Ruby red sapphire blue blossoms stand,
    in the diamond stream,
        little silver fishes play.

on a sky of robin's shell,
    Cotton puffs of cloud,
        golden gobs of sunlight glow.

Jade jewels of verdant green,

There are good days
when poetry leaves me alone
and there are bad days
when I want to write a poem,
but nothing comes out.

Let me tell you a little bit
about that nothing,
it's all about a life review,
there is so much I never want to feel
again...
do you?

Now I'm on that eight hour regimen
that tiny life sustaining pill.
Look -
I can

Splintered souls are rising
and falling down below
the reasons are not surprising
but the outcome is still a blow

watch out says the woodsmen
blasting out kindled ashes
mistaken are the poor men
blocked by their fiery flashes

cradled are the holy
no less to feel the shame
while the wicked cry out wholly
taking all the blame

failing to find the answers
that lie within the

The flower that blooms in adversity 
is the most rare and beautiful of all

From wikipedia: There are a number of stories about the origin of foot binding before its establishment during the Song dynasty. One of these involves the story of Pan Yunu, a favourite consort

Mountain Rocks

Freedom can be like the flow of a river
earthbound sensational we begin to shiver
caves sandstone bricks and hilltop mountains
Nowhere in sight was there a fountain

Loose rocks collapsing rolling to the bottom
approximately 200 feet down a proportion are rotten
Underwater creatures not one to be seen
One person’s hobby another person’s dream

Torches shining incredible things discovered
Brought to the

Tashunka Witko, better known as Crazy Horse, had a vision of a red-tailed hawk at Sylvan Lake, South Dakota. In his vision he saw himself riding a spirit horse, flying through a storm, as the hawk flew above him, shrieking. When he awoke, a red-tailed hawk was perched near his horse.

and yet I now fly

Earthbound

I'm Earthbound,
Star gazing from the ground.
Reassured as familiar stars return each season,
Reflecting why I’m still here - the reason?

In dreams my astral body soars on high,
Free of gravity and mortal cares that mystify. 
Happily visiting loved ones who've passed,
Delighted by artful visions my imagination's cast.

On change and endings Earthlings can rely,
So seeking love and beauty,

Secrets- Earthbound

I walk around to and fro
I have no home so I roam
My existence is meaningless
And I can't reach him
Something separates us
A strong force won't let me near him
Why can't I touch him?
He looks so very sad
My heart is aching and breaking
Something is wrong
All of a sudden like a flood
The memories came back
He is like Dr.

Part 1 - Earthbound Angels Made of Stone - An Epic

We dwell in quiet places
Where mortals sleep eternally
We earthbound angels made of stone
Keeping vigil for thee

Stone angels carved by human hands
In honor of the dead
Giving meaning to the path
Where mortals dare to tread

And if you care to rest a spell
In this quiet place we dwell 
You too will come to understand
The stories we will tell

Those evil thorns of bitterness
That couldn't bear to see
This child so loved and so adored
By their father
Captain Lee

Until one day in early May
When she went out to play
In  fields drenched in morning  dew
Above a wind swept Bay
While standing there
Out on a ledge
Above a sea of green 
With eyes cast down
In deep reflection
Upon that

Earthbound Ectasy

lead me back to earth
make me smell the flowers again
show the way to the bird bizarre 
oh how i miss your rhythm

kiss my lips so i can taste vanilla heaven
caress me gently so i can feel chocolate paradise
ride me thoroughly so i can vibe on the smooth paved road of life
blast me off so i

Earthbound

She started as an angel 
Only she fell to the earth
She longed to feel the wind blowing 
It made her feel free
Her heart was golden
It couldn't be measured for it's worth
She has the soul of a savior
Helping anyone she'd meet
Then one day she flew to close to the sun
All her beautiful feathers got severely burned
She
