Yellow pines swaying at base camp,
early October morn greets the avid hunters
with its autumnal briskness, waking any
sleepyheads who are stirring under covers,
generators humming away at varying speeds,
smell of frying bacon and sizzling eggs,
add to the...

Some children won’t be around this Christmas
Their families still locked in the throes of grief
The holiday season will continue with briskness
But they’ll find no solace, no respite, no relief.

Their families still locked in the throes...

I walk outside and suddenly I feel upon my face the briskness of the cold winters breeze
The wonderfulness of white snow now covers any evidence on the ground of falls' leaves
I'm in an amazement of...

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Instances flash forward, inward thoughts spinning,
Moving backwards and front, moving every direction.
Kaliedascpoes of light flood thru with eyes shut.

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Turning reflections and thoughts away always hard,
If only and what ifs neverending yet, never regret.
Times past so...

Rare, essential expensive minerals embedded deep down in the core of 3 
dimensional mountains, silver owls, platinum falcons, waterfalls-n-streams, 
poisonous leaves tufa fermented into stream, a tongue less unfrozen tundra 
evaporated from hunger, copper chocolate-n-brass...

Autumn surrounds the lake
Vibrancy vivacious, romantic
Blue in the rippling eye
Dark speck, a boat

Grows bigger and bigger
The laughter
Her auburn hair thrown back,
Her subtle loveliness
He stares at the landscape of love

Day bellows in briskness
And a tartan blanket
Smoothed...

Walk with me through a world of beauty
A gift from God
Walk with me where the Vikings once roamed
Through the magnificence of her mountains
Into the fjords near Bodo
Feel the briskness in the air of Andoya
Trondheim has...

you'd awakened my soul again
as my dying  mind drifted beyond
the tall  pines of perlarcher forest
I'd mingled aimously about

the falling leaves as my heart roared
of a distant thunder that henceforth
became a solemn song of...

Up from the morning’s creeping mist
the newborn day appeared
and in the briskness of the dawn
the killer hawk we feared

The pumpkin wet with sunrise dew
Reflected the light’s raze
Shinning, round and brimming new
A jewel among the haze

The smell of apple pie now wafts through my house
As pine needles in the rug, prick the children’s feet
This time of year, the joyful time, is carried in the air
As smiles fall upon the faces...

Missouri River with a briskness that raises my hair
Sprinkling of snow, but nothing frozen yet
I take a deep whiff of woodsy gladness,
Feeling more in touch with God than ever

The earth world has never been this...

in the briskness
of this day
i try to lose myself
in thoughts of you
just to find warmth

there's a hush
in the rise
this morning
as gray clouds
hide the sun
on a tainted
amber horizon

i can almost feel
the bleakness
beset the tone
of this day

The air so cold it feels inert,
briskness that makes the mind alert,
a bluebird sky, a crystal day,
the sun chases some chill away.
New snow half-way up to my knees,
wells and hollows around the trees,
stunted forest, tiny...

beneath dusk twilight
briskness of the night
off a bumpy quiet foot
path, deeper into
root of virgin forest
towards narrow a patch.

breathless, beneath
thick mixed coppice
nightingales croon,
nature sleeps.

moon views with romantic
pleasure upon scintillating
obsidian hue lake.

natures breath held
briefest of hesitations
fish breaks...

The summer sun begins to chill,
as Autumn sings September's song.
A briskness falls upon the hills,
days now don't tarry quite so long.

As Summer leaves, she blows a kiss
to lovely blossoms, soon to fade.
Leaves on trees await...
