Land Yields

...

The land lies
Chilled and stilled.
Whether flatlands
Or rolling hills.

Damp, cold, and alone;
She doesn't feel at home.

It's hard to feel at home
Where warmth and purpose seem

Hey Giraffe

...Hey Giraffe, I wonder how tall you are!
In height no other animal, on par

in this weather channe...

Beautiful View

...Beautiful View?

Through the transparent glass in my window I stare,
Among flatlands, the sight of a hill is quite rare.
At last, in my view, a small mountain, no stump...
Magical still,...

Confused and Colorblinded

...I come up from down the mountain
Where the sky is always green
And the trees are a showy pink
Up toward the valley down there.
Often I seldom wonder how
Cat fishes can fly so high
While the bir...

America's Signature Grandeur

...Sprawling eagles' wings of freedom glean upon this God blessed land. 

Huckleberries abound upon rich forest tapestry. 

Salmon spawn in glistening waters aplenty. 

Indigo mountains are crowne...

Silken Planes

Simplicity in silken planes
Silence took a flight of fancy
Sensate entranced me

Love Off-Sprung

  an expectant dawn glows, duly announcing the first born arrival
  tomorrow then forward smiles, feeling good

God Is

..."GOD IS"

GOD IS...
In every puffy cloud,

And every lightning show.

GOD IS...
In every blade of grass,
In every leaf and tree,
