Ghosts of the Sun Dance-Part 2
8. Transformation
Yielding to those who have mastered the art
Of grasping one's place in existence's grand scheme
Life’s constant challenges never depart
But humble diligence will grow the dream
In passing from childhood to adulthood
Innocence to responsibility
Firm new role...

Journey Through Time
I left California a week ago Sunday.
Alone with my map, I found the way.
Initial trepidation gave way to wonder.
Beauty of the land enhances the spell I'm under.
From Novato to Tahoe, the drive was slow.
Allowing the...

The Mystic Valley of Dzoku
While rambling like a vagabond in a seraphic poetic submersion, in a remote region, witnessed the most captivated sight ever,
a sleeping valley rippled in wild blooms, as sparkling in mystical celestial beam, in the...

Continuing Job Search Implodes
When I was skinned

Call it (Something Here) :
It started out,

Actually join the Legion or
Take vows for the ashram of Guru...

Whispered Wonders
The brisk Autumn breeze
crisply smiles and leaves
inviting seasonal ascendance.
Past dark hollowed eaves
her departing breath weaves
a path for Winter's wondrous entrance.
Courtly canyons kowtow
the mighty mesas bow
sparking December's grand revival.
Barren branches applaud
as mountain peaks laud

Sardula Javan Leopard
Hot and wet as heaven pion
Rainfall scattered warm clarion, dropped some their leaves
Referred to evergreen rainforest

Heavy logging answered

Riding Toward the Light
(for Rod Nichols)
Oh, there’s a campfire up ahead
In the smoky darkness of night,
That holds the hopes and things we dread
As we go riding toward the light.
Those wagon wheels just keep spinning,
And all our life’s but...

Stair To Heaven
Stair to Heaven
A spiral stair comes in pieces.
About one thousand to be sure.
It is a very large box indeed,
and weighs about 400 pounds.
Do not tell the man accidentally;

Thunderscape
Dark thunderclouds hover uneasily
over the red mesas and arroyos.
I can feel the tingling sensation of
charged air, an unnatural quiet
as the thick, humid air seems to
catch its breath, anticipating.
Suddenly the landscape is overwhelmed

Day's Last Light
Golden sunglow
molten heat rises against slender shadows
once flowering trees...
tall skeletons without their leaves
their pink pedals once plush
lost in infinite sands outnumbering stars dust
Glowing white stratus melting like snow

Arizona Sky
The stars shone bright...
under an Arizona sky
Mesas of red rock stood still,
bathed in reflected light
Winds blew,
winding their way through....
Towers of rock....
Sighing too

Ballad
14-4-2024
My family spoke two languages
I’m not the same
Results came in still thankless
Feels weird to be diagnosed anxious
Results so plain
I’m still hiding under several blankets
I ain’t sleeping
Then several days went
The same waste stays
Can’t clean when I’m...

Meditations In the Meadow
Meditations in the Meadow
Red rock mesas,
Majestic jagged crowns,
Crystal ice castles --
Absence of sound.
Bracing breezes, crimson cheeks,
Silver teardrops, frosty breath,
Crackling fires, warm gloves --
Standing on sacred ground.
Intriguing fragrances swirl,
Mesmerizing a puppy’s essence,
Gleaming nose inhaling...

Heil Valley (Lyons, Colorado)
The valley so far and wide below
Linden rocks on to capture the show
Bluebells ring to take a picture
mountain lions roam a permenant fixture
And on we trek up the valley
It kind of looks like Cali

Desert Paint
The two-lane road stretches
through a shimmering glaze
to the horizon, passing
smokestacks of mesas spewing
clay and maize in vaporous mass.
I hear the sibylline whisper of rain
through emerald brush
and serpentine hiss
of slithering sand.
The acrid smell permeates
evergreen and...
