Quiet murmurs stir the land

under sunless heavens
still — oaks stand tall

Slightly
High but
Broken from the
Inside, slowly drowning. Please
Help me learn to swim.

Slip from the tongue
To pen,
Greening the soul
And feeding the

Of the muse....

greening leaves spinn-dried*, sunn-baked —

There's a 
half-orange shoved in the 
greening distance that's burning the edges of cotton; 



or perhaps it’s 
a     fat      coin     that's 
rusting under the metallic weight of oxygen…...

THE  GARDENER



Planted in the earth and  grown,
I rule a  world that’s sown

With seeds and roots
And greening shoots.

Fruits and  flower
Bedeck this bower.

Nature helps me tend
This garden  well,  my friend....

Frigid streams melting
Daffodils unfurl in blooms
Earth savors the warmth
I am filled with pure delight
during the greening of Spring

Cold
winter
sheds its coat
and waves goodbye;
we welcome the spring.
Rejoice and sing
at Easter's
pending
warmth.

Joy
rises,
blooms anew.
The greening up
of nature's reserves.
Faith that mankind
too will thrive
past death's
curse.

Don’t you see,
 A battle rages
Away above the grasses
The mighty trees throw spears of air
And bend to dodge the blades
Or cones where thrown by lordly pines
As cut by edges hewn like hands;
These lush and greening splays
Appendages of bows
The warriors, donned of moss and fir...

giggle
pop bubbles burst
tears drizzle from crinkles
run down overheated rose cheeks
spit sputtering the side wiggler's guffaw
drop rolling to the greening grass
sibling tormentors tryst
belly bubbler

Greening trees thatch a spackled sky.
Cardinals kick up patches of sound,
red periods and full-stops
amid an increasing catawampus.

I am far from song yet.
my ears are bats hung from chill temples,
but I do feel
a coyote-itch in my dreams,

do imagine a splatter of green
on the hairy chops of whistle pigs....

As the snowmen melt into patches of green,
yellow daffodils spice up the scene.
And o'er the squeak of a swing,
I hear songbirds sing;
a sure sign
spring
is online
greening everything.
The wild geese have taken wing
and the sun sparkles like a citrine,
as the snowmen melt into patches of green....

Greening trees thatch a spackled sky,
but not yet.
Cardinals kick up patches of sound,
but not yet.

Winter is sowing Spring,
setting fire to mist and smoke,
planting flames onto a colorless sky,
coyote's itch in their dreams,

Do you imagine a smear of green
on the frozen mud,
or is it the new blood of the yet unborn?...

‘tis raining
greening
thundering
pelting
blessing the soil
wetting the seeds
cleaning the face
of Spring blossoms
May’s tada
in fountainhead palms
of life
sweet life
living water
freely flows
a gift to all
for precious moments
(((or))) forever
as you turn over your soul
to
the Savior

Falling rain, as gentle as a mother's touch
On field and flower, the path  and pond
Drops glistening in first morning light
Spilling over the far hills and beyond


Showers erase the last of winter's rust
Barren ground shows a hint of greening
Meandering, delight in this renewing
For the troubled heart, new meaning

Budding
plants are sure signs
That Springtime has arrived
Birds are nesting, bees are buzzing
Life, reborn is abounding upon Earth
Hope emerges like butterflies
in the greening of Spring
Leaves begin their
Budding

To know Thy Self
is to know a universe:

I peel back the onion of me…

tears are only a surface
of my journey; 

for there is
sweetness enough to enhance
any dish; 

In fact, each of us
is a banquet of discovery – 

awaiting the chef, our nature that of
a culinary soul, to assemble and toss, 

fresh from the garden of God’s greening –...
