And greenness like a...

A Change of SceneryI was reclining upon soft pillows, in my spacious window seat,
Savoring pretty views and sunshine, while I nibbled on a treat.

for full coloring
perennially emerging...

Between many differing contours
And unruly contorts;

Now, lines erasing a past
Where the fine contours of her face
Were drawn, in color
Crisp, clean lineages from
Time echoing hope,
Soothing away the fragments
Reality connecting the dots,
Gentling the descent
From her youth to the present
Moment,...

The Pepperman and the Rhododendron Honey QuandryI OPENED A DOOR AND FOUND MYSELF
SITTING IN THE MIDST OF CLOUDS.
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS QUITE CHILLY.
AND THE OXYGEN LEVEL EXTREMELY LOW.

Winter - a Hard PlaceA damp, dank odour pervades the saturated forest; pungent. acrid;
The stench an assault on the human senses:

Seeping easily between the debris;...

Empty StoriesI am told
that I should write
lines that will
a picture make
cold breeze blows
bearing all warmth away
carrying just a whisper
softly to my ears
a distant sound
I can barely hear
somewhere distant
somewhere far away
and I do gaze
looking about
that my eyes...

But he doesn’t see the beauty,
Nor the warm rays which,
Pierces through the glass,
Only the anticipation and,
Anxiety of a long night,
Carefully, he watches,
The colors change,
First the...

All the anxious that lives within
