Landscapes Poems

Driving in New Mexico

the terrain’s more expansive here 
you said, as if obscurities that had been,  
moved aside so the eye 
could soak in highways singing 
restless blues, as if language 
materialized straight from that feeling 
of nowhere coupled with too many 
places to be, and you can see 
what you want to, blanketing the spaces 
with

Painting

A variety of fine brushes…thin, medium, wide,
soft and smooth... to paint landscapes - sky, ocean, tree, 
at tranquil dawn, my backyard turns into an oasis,
A transient escape for peace, sanctuary for me! 

Focused on visual delight, savour sublimity!
umbrella-like willow, lush leaves offering shade,
dainty roses bloom, elegant hydrangea smiles,
playful birds chirp, frisky squirrels run, until daylight

melted clocks

time stopped to count in a forgotten landscape where the clocks were melted

Illusory Landscapes and Not

Landscapes

Out there are illusion..

Yet whether considered

Illusion or not

Beauty is declared..

No-separation seems to 

Prevail...

Landscapes

"landscapes"

skies of day or night shine with illumination
see such suns and moons light up the world
hear stars speak as they whisper wishes and
feel the presence of light beyond its surface

seas of corals or mighty grays reflect wonder
see alluring beauty within their magical sphere
hear the seducing sound of crashing tides and
feel the emotions of being completely

-skies landscapes horizons-

I for saw the bird in his above the door sill;
Wings a flamed flapping
Body still

Head bobbin up and down
Must be feeding little chicklet young
Body still

Bobbing ingesting their baby sparrows or is it robins?

As We Traverse the Landscapes

Like travellers, 
We cross this arid land
Aiming at the city of rest.

As we traverse the landscapes 
We may, of a truth, sully our feet
With besetting dust of sin

But we must from time to time
Remember Calvary, the place of cleansing 
Where mercy flows immeasurably 

We go through marketplaces 
Let’s be pleased with divine supplies 
Lest we

Nature's Beauty

The world is full of beautiful nature,
Of wonder and in the pursuit,
In the landscapes, the mountains, 
And the oceans that we view.

The skies: their shine is so bright and beautiful.
The clouds are all fluffy and white,
They all have various kinds of shapes and sizes,
The clouds are roaming our skies. 

From the tiniest of Natures flowers,

Safari West

Our winter break at Safari West. 
Birds chirping in their nest.
The creek’s melodious medley
The smell and pitter-patter of the rain 
Goosebumps from the cold wind
Thick fog covering the tall pine
And ducks and ducklings swimming in a line

A Change of Season

the sun noticed a change
as the winds blow colder
fewer warm days to tempt us
while the season grows older

overdue leaves begin to stain
turning landscapes satin bright
dusting the ground after falling
bright red and golden flames

twirling shadows in moonlight
as the winter cascades
bare trees waving their goodbyes
as autumn's beauty fades

Landscapes With Anthills

horizontal landscapes with anthills
ants plant poison pills on mulch trails 

solar breezes inspire physicists
the universe works overtime

earth dances with oceans
becomes desert without mulch

the universe doesn't work anymore
poisoned ants occupy dead planets

What a Trip

All abroad! Amazing airplane aims above Asia ascending at an ample airline.
Bestowing big buildings, busy businesses, beautiful beaches...
Camera captures candid cascading countryside.
Dozen dandelions display delightful destinations.
Everyone easily escapes enjoyment.
Families follow festivals featuring favorite foods.
Guests grow generating grand group gatherings.
Happy hikers holler, "Hello", having heartfelt hospitality.
Itinerary illustrates interest.
Journalists jot joyful journeys.
Kindreds keep keepsakes.
Laziness lingers leaving luxury

Santa Fe

“Santa Fe”

Santa Fe, Santa Fe, 
Oh Santa Fe,
Take me home to Santa Fe.
Where mountain peaks 
Are bathed in gold.
Where artists and seekers
Come to unfold.

Where natives live in ages past
Stair step terra-cotta 
Rise on desert floors.
Where artists come to paint and play
Calling all to Santa Fe

Dream maker’s dreams
Come true in the 
Travertine 
Aisles of Canyon Road.

Landscapes of the Mind

We leave the womb, 
that place of warm safe-keeping,
and arrive to face our would-be lives
with nothing but a body and 
a landscape, ready-made 
but needing to be seeded
It's a pristine, faintly gleaming table of the mind.

Seeds of knowledge sown,
like clockwork, quickly grow,
nourished by the light 
or even by mere shadows of examples
and fostered by a
