faint whisper of wind, 
such calm, 
as I sit beneath shady palm

This lone bird
flying alone,
in grey overcast,
seems so absurd

Dipping and swooping,
crazy circles,it makes
Such joy ,hard to fake,
inner whooping

when to fly,
no reason,
not to try

Lone bird,
so high,
I wonder why?

Wings of grey,
match the cloud
Shades of...

It snowed lightly last night.
I venture into the woods,
hear the silence reigning supreme.
Mutely a light breeze weaved its way 
amongst the moss-covered trunks,
the high branches swinging serenely,
the verdant leaves of evergreen trees.
 
Occasionally a snowflake...

Giving shade below, beckoning birds on the fly
While in the fields below, harvests wait for their time
A cycle of life and death, through rhythm and...

Within thou secret heart I dared to peek,
but entry to thee twas not meant to be.
Searching for answers that doth I do seek
No avail, thy heart locked and I no key.

My body now rests beneath autumn soil, for I am no longer here.
I know you're sad, but please believe; in spirit, I'm always near.
And although my remains are now in the earth, my soul forever...

Peace is the tranquility a sunset brings,
Peace is the sight of a bird on the wing,
Peace is the fragrence of a prairie flower,
Peace is the freshness after a shower,
Peace is the sharing of something new,
Peace...

With laces tied, she is up and away
With the glint of the moon on her steel blades
The clink of metal as she leaves the ice
Pirouette of glee as her soul takes flight

Swirling and twirling, a...

"In the absence of complication,
 trials and tribulations become distant memories.
  Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
  inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind."

 Simplicity flows in poetic verse

RAIN

Misty rain is falling 'round
Upon my head, a dewy crown

I watch the rain bounce from the grass
It's roots devour the liquid mass

A soft breeze flows through yonder trees
I imagine all the things it sees

Like a...

I met a spicy young lassie
on the road from Banff to Buckie
Her eyes were full of sparkle.
I thought I might get lucky.
Polite chit chat over cola.
With a nip of apricot brandy.
Her demeanor and wit quite...

A young suitor stood shyly before her
his heart full of promises yet to bestow
her heart ready to burst with joy.

It seemed that day that angels sung in celebration.

Their eyes did not meet entirely at once
