people, with myself 
as well sometimes: 

How maybe life's not all 
about putting up fences or

In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate

Across the midnight divide in a shroud,
this soul sails upon glistening gold wings.

Describe 'love' in 100 words
or less;
it's not a daunting task,
it's quite easy;
go on,
put yourself to the test

Some scientists digress,

I have swam the Mediterranean,
and navigated by way of...

Transition From Deep Dark To Brightest Light

shades full of heartaches and long slashing blades

Fear Rising

People from here 
People from there
People coming

Heard morning dove in her opening song,
she flew onto a weeping willow branch.

blessed was I, working that cattle ranch.

There are mighty hills resting far out West,

As they take a tumble they will recall,
There is the proper position and spread,

So when the passersby stop, take a view,
They'll...

the choir of birds singing.
I love...

The horologic ticker chimes,
as lines are drawn on pumpkins patched.
Gramps, it’s apple picking time. 
The scarecrow’s wise with balding thatch.
