I confided with The Jeweler
I want a masterpiece
A wonder to the modern world
Where joy will never cease

He said he’d start with umber
A rich, golden shade of brown
use it from the very start
create a special crown

Stone Spires

Stone cathedral spires rise
          Sharply
From freely flowing waters

in the sunflower state where the prairie grass grows
she would spend many days, sharing stories and dreams
Tho' my own feet have never been blessed to step near...

Where waterfall pours on stones,
I stand, a witness to nature’s symphony,
As the world unfolds before me.

On the other side of the river,
Where solitude finds its home,
The meadowlark sings its...

a tortoise rushed, (well…tried)
to his favorite sitting spot
in all the meadow-wide

tormented by a lonely ache.

The tortoise loved a meadowlark
that perched a weathered stump
and sang at...

Along skips a girl with the sun in her smile,
patchwork illusions, the valleys alight
Dragonflies hover. mid-air, in their style,
meadowlark melodies echo in flight

All come to see as she sparkles and shines,
free as a hummingbird greeting...

Songs Of Power 

(Lost As Blackness Invades)

Where the agony invades life seems in blurs,
And the long nights eat the fruited trees,
And later, night dreams stalk barking curs
Where blue-red tides overcome futile pleas.

Across infinite space--thoughts dreaded
And...

How dim the stars when sullen and fading
as songbirds warble, their trills pervading.
When the world still sleeps at dawn's blush,
there's a lyrical melody in the call of a thrush.
I listen with my heart, and most...

I stopped awhile, to rest my legs, and spied a crevice in the wall
where mossy stones, and flagstones, lost, are hidden in the vines
I'm quite intrigued, so I must squeeze, and curl myself into a...

Stone Cathedrals of Glenwood Canyon

Stone cathedral spires rise sharply from freely flowing waters -
 Birthing renewal through eternity’s eyes -

With Name I shall cast my anchor
Taking care to never wreck the coral
Stone tablets I’ll cast to the sea
Stationery, my vessel in the breeze.
On the bow of this ship, my mind is free.

Rays of light burning its foes
Western meadowlark chirping 
hauntingly mysterious echoes
single small dew drops pennies
fluttering beauty in the swamps
Is it mother nature or a magical aura? 

Astounding wonder veiled by lust forest
Waves awakening  seas...

She is standing thirty-eight foot tall, and the sky is relatively blue.
We are thrilled to see her, standing there, in her dairy cow...

The ground was crow-black
as the ashes took wing in the breeze,
flowing in hot breath across a 
grief stricken earth.
Charred trees, now barren of leaves,
stood leaning...drunk, like numb sticks,
ready to snap with the next lash
