A habit of mine
When Autumn comes
Off I go
Wearing
Boots
Try to discover
What I can find
Looking low
Searching
Roots
In front of my eyes
To my surprise
Standing still
Seeing
Shoots
still water holds light~
a slow curve of fading day
resting on the reeds
Cheesecloth Promises,
Wrapped in Empty Intentions...
Folds Flags of Freedom!
Love is like water,
It can quench the thirst as well,
As drown the lover.
my moonlit montage
myriads of memories
monolith moments
stern white owl at watch
winter sky polished cobalt
snowy magistrate
played like a fiddle
the tune does not match the song
broken melodies

Splash a jaguar jumps
After a caiman for a
Feast in the river
Bright night
Moonlit site
Morning sun
Now breakfast buns
Still fish
Trout tails swish
breaching the gauntlet
reaching the inner sanctum
vision quest tested
braved torrential rains
complete clarity of thought
eased the pain with ease
return trip departs
while traversing the chambers
that echoes my heart
COCOONED AND COMING
Caterpillaring,
I’m cocooning oppression:
Liberty soon soars:-
Ice tea
to me for any season
can be refreshing

cosmic lullaby
an untranslatable sight -
wrapped in the moonlight
patriots' day shines bright,
ceremonies fill the air,
true hearts stand unseen.
Milkweed butterfly,
iconic pollinator.
Golden, bold, and black.
Eastern migrant,
Canada to Mexico,
A thousand miles back.
Western wanderer,
winters in California.
Recalls its way north.
Milkweed butterfly,
iconic pollinator.
Golden, bold, and black.
