come to understand the joys that are unprecipitated fears and the fears that are purpose.

A Hundred Equine
A Hundred Equine
Hot salty drops trickled into my mouth.
The sun had changed my brown flesh to bright red.

Constructed from giggles and bowes.
Butterflies know when springtime is late
And the...

Mustangs
MUSTANGS
The ground shudders, and shakes,
Under pounding hooves.
Echoing against canyon walls.
Fast and furious wild hearts beat,
Keeping equal pace, with the prairies,
Wide divide.
From within hell's fiery furnace,
Tempered muscle drives motions sinew.
Behold evolution's die hard...

The Colts Unbridled

Midwinter Night's Dream
Midst sullen storm and winter's grip,
Secure and warm I toddies sip.
By fireside glow my thoughts take wing.
While watching snow, I dream of spring.

And garden tools and hiking clubs.
It's daffodils and meadows...
