GREEN RIVER WYOMING

Somebody said that in Wyoming
That a body could recover from
The N.Y. blues that leave your soul so dry

I bid farewell to Montauk
And the sadness in her eyes
Knowing somehow that I never
Would return.
Now the skies over Green River
Somehow are not that different
And the losing end remains the
losing end.
Some days I'd trade my highway shoes
For a key

Earth

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. Rachel Carson

Earth shows off it's evergreen trees,
a home to the yellow bumble bees.
In the winter there can be a deep freeze,
with a cold breeze.
The birds are sitting as close as fleas,
saying warm up please.

Warmer weather

The Last Acorn

 She is a deep feet                 
She has beaten to drown many she               feeds
Her face is a black green

Green River

And I watched the green river,
the ageless river
that does not have to justify its existence
but just flows,
and I called:

Green river,
   speak to me.
Green river,
   teach me
       to turn obstacles
           into song.
Green river,

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time,
the beautiful blue river loved 
a strong green tree;
The green tree lived 
amid the wet blue river;
After decades, the river dried up;
leaving not even a drop of love;  
And the green tree too uprooted
without even a leaf of life !
The blue river was my beautiful Mother !
My handsome father was the

The Green River

She slips from the sleeping ice.
Green, fresh, free to flow
through the great fjord.
Past the blue mountains.

She glides smoothly
over the rocks with glee,
covering them with her cool touch.
Tall evergreens cheer her on.
Waving as she courses down her chosen path,
carrying life. 

All the while never tiring!
Surging forward to join the others like her.
This vast journey ,
will not

To Remember Rightly

To remember rightly 
Many years gone before I visited the country where I spent my childhood.
 Flat landscape with green grass and many horses, some of them huge 
and belonged to an occupying army. A river cut the landscape in half and 
wooden bridges. It is tricky to remember infancy because it often appears 
like

The Green River

The river lazily ran through the lovely pasture scene.
Poets wrote their pretty poems about the river’s charms,
Carrying its living water, reflecting purest green
As lovers sat upon its banks, locked in each other's arms.

Way back in nineteen Eighty Two, idly pleasure boating,
He chanced on unexpected sight of homicidal death.
This man discovered horror beneath the surface floating,
So

Simple Pleasures

I strolled along the river bank, in shade of woodland tree’s
Fragrant wild flower scent, was hanging in the breeze  
There in amongst the colours, of every green you’ve ever seen
I came across a waterfall, in the mid drift stream
Sunlight played in the waterfall, a glory to behold
Shining in its crystals, turning them to gold
Then

Worlds Apart

Silent is the stand, gentle is the gaze 
The view of the meadow is grand, in oh so very many ways 
The person looks on, all is as it was 

Gentle and green grass, dancing every day 
Resplendent river of rich mass, safariing without a stay 
Soothing sun’s soft seal, seeding spirit so 
Hearty and

Cries of Liberty

From politics to humanities tricks,
out cries continues to pour in
on a candles wick.
bringing upcoming havoc
to the new generation
known as Rick,
Connie, Nick, patrick and Vick.
too young to understand
that devastation and complication
is on the rise
in the masterminds mind.
Always seeking with not a care
to whom one can compromise.
leading the weak to the blind.
Leaving valuable measurements behind.
no matter what
