saffron spilling
over ridge-lines marigold
plaiting the first veins of leaves
air tastes of dew and oak

DAILY GRATITUDE WALK IN NATURE
I am grateful every time I take a walk
along the shore, in a forest, up a mountain
when across their paths I’m lucky enough to roam…
For every time I do
I can hear nature whispering to me on the wind…
“It’s good to see you…welcome home!"

WHY NATURE
Have you ever wondered why we were created?
if you haven’t take a moment to reminisce
and while you’re at it ask yourself
why were we placed upon a planet as beautiful as this?
Why does the water call to us? Why along her shores do we love to stroll?
Perhaps she’s there to replenish our hearts…and help to

With A Gentle Hand - Mystic
With a gentle hand,
You balance the world while its feet are still untried…
little fingers twist like seashells
around the promise of tomorrow.
Love is gentle in this place;
it hides within a cradle song,
a steady thrum of trust
leaning into your heart.
Every touch becomes a promise
each embrace a refuge -
showing the fragile ones
that gentleness carries power.
When the lullabies grow

lava erupts from below
flood waters sweep clean
leaving traces of its stay
for wildfires to have its way

Listen to the Wind
Listen to the wind outside your bedroom,
lying in the darkness of the night.
While the storm is raging in the shadows,
hear the cries of those who daily fight.
Seasons change within the midnight breezes.
Summer turns its colors into fall..
Soon the flowers dare the autumn freezes,
as you feel the coldness in it all.
Listen to the wind with

When God Whispers
When God whispers, the sky turns blue.
Bright flowers broadcast every hue.
Mauve mountains shade green valleys deep
where dog and boy keep frisky sheep.
Brimming rivers run clear and true.
Forests beckon all creatures who
follow the path of bear and shrew.
Where willows arise tall, but weep
…when God whispers.
Birds relating the miles they flew
keenly warble their points of view
and I

An aromatic delight:

My our world’s lungs soon be filled
With God’s inhaled peace and love.:-
Oxygenated
In God’s warmth, let’s seek building
A oneness nation:-

Shadow Tail
Tree top dwellers
Electric line leapers
Garage roof tenants
They seem to live solely
To gather nuts
Be chased by eager canines,
And flaunt their furry tails.

Blood Moon in the Spiral
The Blood Moon is entwined in grape vines
Where it swirls around and climbs!
The Moon looms in the curl,
Guarding its encounter with Earth and Sun.
Thus, night's descent has begun
With scattered light on the run!
A total lunar eclipse
A celestial event not to dismiss
A celestial pastry with vegan cream
Red wavelengths are glowing in our dreams.
Let's strip down

LISTEN to the Wind
"In fall, nature must rest for when they return in spring, to be at their best. " -quote by poet
The trees hear whispers in the wind begin
It's now time to surrender and let fall win
Slumber is upon them as they start to let go
To be strong and barren for blankets of snow

Monsoon passion when spells
Sky when with dense clouds abound,
Seeing which peacocks dance around
On tender-green-dress-bedecked a hill,
In such a stirring scene, love-bound,
Which wayfarer wistful would not feel?
