Strong
gusts
of winds
bring Autumn 
striding down the trail-
and pampas dancing in the gale....

The Capercaillie
Most delightful wood grouse
Striding so graceful

solitude
. . . quiet 
black peppercorn
on a ribbon 
of tagliatelle 
I, on my path
sinuous striding
impelled by you
impaled by you...

the beers
the smoke
your favorite

taking

off
from
swimming
fast
driving
101

Ron’s been striding to catch the galoot,
but his misstep was not so astute.
Though his record’s alright,
he fixates on his height,
so his lift in the polls gets the boot....

Flowing smile 
Spreading out from within
Long feet
Leaping across hills
Striding over barriers 
Riding over pains
With every step
Bellowing up steam
From every fated puff
Drawing out illusion
That reaches too high...

 Here I stand and example
 Of everything One should be
 Loyal and honesty obedient also breathe
 You abundant striding not to sin, never disagreeing wit God

Into the azure
lofty inter loppers linger
romantics wear me out
day dreaming till they die
Blackbirds in flight
brings you back into life
the fetches of light appoint
the mountains yawn
learn the rhythm
in mists striding the horizon

Can you hear consequence? Is it calling? 
Will we ever turn to face the weather?
Hush little lamb; all your senseless bawling.
Blinded by our choices; a braided tether.

Striding in cadence with the bellwether.
We’ll soon have to answer; all together....

Brown Sands
Lifting hands
To hold as we walk the heat drenched beach
Sun risin' 
Red horizon
Nearly within our striding reach

Footprints measure
Our mortal treasure
That is ours for a brief time
Between our toes
A mystery unfolds
Of rich, Brown Sands so fine...

shadowed
       sunlight
        striding
staring
stirring
leaning
         in
         spectacular
         splendour
inexplicable
                distant
stumbling
        in
         elegant
               silence
in
sterile
twilight
    frosty
      red
whispered
lamentations...

The silent soul
who sullenly
seeps within
the sentimental
seas of solitude.
Always lead astray
by every
passing day.
Just to remain
amongst the stars.
Striding through
time’s strangled streams
of faintly
faded dreams.
Embedded beneath
the once blue
eyed beams of an
embittered beauty....

Over striding downs with grassy scrub
and into the trees with clumps of shrub

Beechwood,downlands and common heath
in earthy limeston inches beneath

The basil spreading six feet tall
by a freshwater spring ,trickling small

Along shaded lanes with gates and stiles
and wayside pubs,to rest awhile...

You are the one
I have not to seek after
You are a friend!

You are the one
The wings of my rainbow- my laughter
You are a caring-hand!

You are the one
swarming my heart,
making me quiver-
gleaming my mount,
striding along my pasture…

You are the one
You are the only one
You are the one I love!...

Striding outside the castle wall's 
On stricken donkey's 
With only a Mexican blanket for a saddle
The rider pinces 
For king and country 
My stomach is hungry
As are the wizened children 
Behind the gates 
Conscripted to the work house's 
The furnaces blast
In metal casts 
Swelling the army 
Making up the number's...

Sturdy striding shoes
You searched for resplendent hues
Among common folk
Vincent, did you know
That the kingdom of heaven
Flowed from your paintbrush? 



Based on the painting "A Pair of Shoes"  - Written for Abe Lopez's "Van Gogh's Van Goghs"

Walking in darkness
walking alone,
	striding into mysteries
	into land of thoughts,
stranger yet my own,
my loneliness.
	
	No pictures to paint
 	no colors, no seasons yet cold.
Searching my identity,
in my past.
	Silent yet melodious,
my loneliness.

Who knows? Who cares?
Who deserves? Who dares?
	All left unspoken,
	in the darkness, alone, into mysteries....

The Fox a cunning sort 
Racing through the fields
Hunting not just for sport
Sly and sure, steady is he

The Wolf a beautiful beast
Uses timeless instinct
Proud of family and feast
Protection of pack his home

The Coyote the fearless one
Striding, wandering aimlessly
Majestic in his own, none
Continuous on his journey

Inspired by Destroyer Poet, thank-you...

Girl in red, a dress
                 Pleated down to her knees, skips 
                 Down the lonely street.

                 Man in black beret
                 Sunshades set on face, striding
                 Down the narrow street.

                 Girl turns, sees this chap
                 Hurries her steps, man does so too
                 Girl runs, man runs too....

Brightly shining,
golden silhouette,
always minding,
forwards striding,
showing lightning,
bodies grinding,
trying, fighting.

Emotional freedom,
religious speeches,
attempted inspirations,
delivered vibrations,
related relations,
without hesitations.
Awaken manifestations.

Tingling sensations,
mental frustrations.
Sexual too,
how true,
angels flew,
will do all I can for you....

LITTLE PAINS

At point of striding forth

A red slash!

From nowhere

Unprepared by dissolution

What wasn’t is suddenly thrust in from nowhere

Think addition

What wasn’t now added to the pixie brotherhood

Yet knowing their traveling propensities

Their being before long elsewhere gone

One strides on

Just little pains

Little old gooses

Little pains urging awareness

Striding through the sparkles in satin sand.
And luminous sparkles twinkling all around.
Casting spell with the sparkles in her eyes
And sparkling sparklers in her hands.
May gaiety deities step in frolicking with sparkling smile. 
With sparkling lotus sillage trailing like an elated child.
And thumping foot ferreting behind the dodging ambrosial of sparkling motichoor.
May the sparkling smile sparkle for life....

Zero encloses life,
void is full if bits from nothingness break away,
striding strife.

You can’t empty
life’s emptiness, lastingly stays
full free.

God’s stilled
grace keeps soul’s bay
filled.

Zero encloses life,
life’s emptiness, lastingly stays
filled.
