God and man commune...

Fly Away, Bird
The swish of heaven glimpsed
beneath in girl's Winter
eyes — this solo bird, she's
large seen by blue. She
beats me, with her song —
memory streaks the air
childhood, womanhood
with her song, she beats
on me.
I also have wings,
heartbeats. Beneath
my ruin, feathers.
We chase feathers —
The bird say
Winter's shadow where
branches once spoke
her tongue —
she never lifts off...

The Frog That Became KingHe took an oath beneath the chandelier palace,
tongue lapping at furtive moth wings.
A crown of collectible bottle caps
balanced on his warty brow.
Lilith bowed as he passed,
her petals muttering oaths.
Tadpoles formed a scepter’s ascendency,
guiding his webbed ascent.
In the court of cattails and reeds,
he declared dominion over ripples.
Bullfrogs drummed a royal cadence,
while dragonflies danced in tribute.
But power...

EVIL WINDS BLOWINGTheir win, has its wind
Slap-blowing in our faces:
A musky-trump wind,
Blowing, blasting bigotry,
Slapping justice in the face:-

Colors of the MorningOne early autumn morning, before the sun awoke,
before the moon had disappeared, or any robin spoke.
I opened up my window to feel the breezes play
and let a breath of beauty in before the hectic day.
I gazed across the river, where hills of palest green,
like candle-lighted altars, glowed soft in morning's...

Watching The Storm Roll InI sit here on this wide, stone porch,
the farms stretch for many miles,
even on sunny days you can
sit here and drift for a while…
but this is not a day like that,
the far horizon tells the tale,
a billowing of distant gray,
the storm is coming, without fail.
The first slow pickup of wind comes,
scribes rippled patterns in the...

Where Whispers of Footprints Fade
The tide breathes in, a whispered sigh,
Across the canvas wet and wide.
A million footprints, ghosts that lie,
Where yesterday's small dramas died.
Each shell, a story, curled and frail,
Of journeys through the ocean's keep.
A silent, salty, ancient tale,
Of where the hidden currents creep.
The jagged rocks, with moss adorned,
Stand sentinels against the spray.
By countless storms they've been out-horned,
Yet...

Celestial Pause
The moon, a pearl in the velvet sky,
begins its slow surrender.
Not to darkness, not entirely,
but to the Earth's long shadow, a hushed embrace.
A copper stain bleeds across its face,
a celestial blush of twilight hues,
born not of light, but its absence,
filtered through our world's dusty breath.
We stand beneath, dwarfed by the cosmic ballet,
this temporary dimming, a...

Forest TherapyReturned to the wooded place I shed tears
where speaking out loud without any fears
had no shame or guilt attached to the spew
birds deer fairies fae gathered by the few
looking on from afar allowing my release
so I can continue my self-healing in peace
it was therapy for my soul without any pay
evaluating how far I have come...
