Short Crevasses Poems

In twilight sleep, dreams flow deeply, through mind-halls.

Caverns and crevasses hold many memories; some of past lives.

Inundated with dreamscapes, memories float and surface, a mind-soul reunion.

In a tranquil valley with banks dark and deep
Silted streams into dreary conduits seep

Shadows bearing yesterday's light on addled walls creep
Images from the dark recesses around each corner peep

Enchanting winds over the heightened senses do sweep
Animated figures from the bleary crevasses leap

Sorrowful clouds hover; o'er conscience penitent tears weep
In foggy redoubt, guarded fears and  insecurities do heap...

Remnants of Winters tendrils
reside upon the bare basalt cliffs.
Cornrows of ice cascade
washed by relentless rain.

Down pours the mana
of Spring, the Bride,
berating the laggard Winter;
expunging the beauty of ice.

The sunless muted morn aids
Winters grip on its crowning glory;
braiding wayward wisps of white
into crevasses.

The last, lingering, lustful
remainders of Winter.
The day before Spring begins....

What are mountains
But opportunities
To climb and conquer
Our  fears
Of  achieving
Our own
Magnificent potential
Overcoming the pitfalls
And crevasses
Loose boulders
Ravines and gorges
Dense thickets and forests
Or even bone-chilling snow
Pumping adrenaline
For a magnificent
View at the top
And the exhilaration 
Of thumping our chests
With pride
To scream into the wind
“I DID IT!”

Morning sun thumbs the thicker heart strings 
With a shudder bass of pleasure 
Adding rhythm to tenor falsetto wren songs 
In suddenly lit shadowed crevasses 
Still enjoying the quietnesses of sleep 
A hawk screams in delight of rising air 
We sip our fresh ground percolations 
naked in the hot still water 
Watching humming birds taste and guard feeders 
Suddenly we're spell bound 
She's all white, an angel 
Her wings a halo of flourescence. 
We are now awake....

It’s hard for me to speculate about something
which portends to be a mystery,
while I already have the answer in hand.
There have already been assertions
and rather than butt heads
in exasperation,
just let me offer this.
Another set of photos,
offered up in evidence, since we 
first surmised the sphinx.
They clearly show in three dimension,
the sphinx to be cliffs and crevasses of a mesa.
