I Could Explore Forever

Precious, pretty, fleeting.
Flitting butterfly, lifting
wings, too heavy.

One, two, three…
One, two, three…
the flower’s delighted
to be explored.

Colors, themselves,
adored or unnoticed.

Just that one spot, spotting
the prettiness in the pot;
the stems stand tall;
lantanas, an unsung song.

Silence in the flapping.
How can the breeze accommodate,
provide a zephyr, a zip, a zest,
unrest?

My eyes rest upon loveliness -
this fixed point; is the universe
such

When Time Slips Away

So little time— 
Yet so much left undone! 
On the pages of life still remain 
Sketches of dreams left to run.

So many promises lost in the mist, 
So many hopes quietly withdrew— 
Countless paths remain untraveled, 
So many sights left out of view.

What still remains— 
To behold the world with wide-open eyes, 
To truly live

When Time Slips Away

So little time—

On the pages of life still remain 
Sketches of dreams left to run.

So many hopes quietly withdrew— 
Countless paths remain untraveled, 
So many sights left out of view.

What still remains—

Little Scientist

Two small fists
discover the world 
is round, blue, 
and fits exactly 
between wonder 
and wanting.

Mouth opens
the first laboratory, 
where everything 
must be tested:
texture, temperature, 
the taste of curiosity.

Eyes focus, 
hands follow, 
brain fires tiny 
lightning storms of connection:
I can make things happen.

This is how learning begins,
not with books or words, 
but with the simple 
revolutionary

Explore Your Wonder

Wonders await return,

Hidden within the pattern,

Concerning your connection,

The outer reflection,

Throughout thought selection.

We seek protection from ourselves,

As we delve into desires,

Dowsing our inner fires,

Mocking all who inquire,

And wish to move higher.

Seeking what they require,

To burn even brighter,

Acquiring a new state of mind,

A sense of peace hard to find,

as patterns grind gears,

Increasing our fears.

As they re appear,

Earth Interval

     Typecast pivot rips past apart
     Scars inflicted by the furnace 
     Scatter derma with war stars
     Astronomy faraway magnifies 
     Little shards of light filaments
     Filtered shadow breaks brittle 

ANOTHER TIME FROM THE CRUST

ANOTHER TIME. FROM THE CRUST

At a time when it crows
I set up to a lain me at thine bowl
Full weight! Full length a naked yoke 
There you set my piece at thine brow

There I grew to thankfully crawl
On the night as if sword was drawn
In the bid to stay, I learned to call Abba 
They

When he came back

When he came back from the war
So much different than before.
He would sit and stare at the wall.
Thinking there was nothing more.
Do you know what I mean.
Because nobody knew what he had seen

When he decided to go to war
Thought that he would just explore.
He kissed her gently and said goodbye.
Promised he’d be back, please don’t

In search of the new

With each passing day, a thought engulfs me--
As to what remained of yesterday would become.
Apparently the curtain moves, even with the morn.
The sun burns, selfless in resolve to better the earth
The buzz heard in silence all around to deliberate life.
Here I am, up and about doing chores, routine work.
The seclusion from daily disdain, practical thought

What an Adventure

We’d go exploring along the river and through the woods,
We’d run, and we’d whoop, then go silently to try and see a rabbit if we could.

We’d push through all the briar and the bramble,
Then chase each other in one big scramble.

We’d get covered in mud and was soaking wet,
Then we’d try to hide from other

How do we explore - - the depths of an abyss

In thickened woodlands there are hidden falls
noticed by few and you stop - nature calls,
you gaze rapt in wonder as waters flow
into the depths of caves no creatures go.

If you have wings, fly swift with the current
feel exhilaration with the torrent
but reaching the bottom of this chasm
you know this journey is no phantasm.

From on top,

Mermaid

we met in glass jars
on the Beagle in the Pacific
I'd never seen anything
like you before, your hair, your smile, 
your huggable eyes, thrown together
by beards and tankards
grabbed from every sun, but
you reflected curves onto my glass
and maimed my stopper for oceans
now we sit on different shelves
but I can still hear you sing
in the darkened storages
and

Explore

You’ve never been on a subway,
I’ve never made homemade ice cream;
Maybe we’ll explore together someday;

High rise suite or an opulent chalet,
come with me hang out in my dream;
You’ve never been on a subway;

Walk the city get lost along the way 
still all those lights will simply gleam;
Maybe we’ll explore together someday;

My ‘Train Approach’ sign stuck

Terra Incognita

I heard of lands both far and near
where wealth beyond tale can conceive. 
With rivers deep and mountains sheer
for the brave to challenge and reave.
I heard of them and I believe
this call that moves me to explore.
I should follow my heart and weave
the path where none has gone before.

Through legends spread by foe and peer,

The Lane

A lane leading to somewhere
Grasses towering high
Hidden creatures, pebbles, mud and sand 
To be discovered by those
 Who want to explore 
The countryside
The wilderness 
A short-cut among bushes 
The sense of nature 
An abandoned part of the village
The sense of poverty
Or
The flow of youngters to the city
A materialistic world
