The Season That Didn'T Exist

So the time
just like a river
lowers each waterside
from a higher
to a small one
or from colorful
to horizon.
Yes.
So the time.

The children,
each fall
the yellow leaves
they gather.

"The Man Who…" 2009


Ambushed

waterside vigil
buffalo nears water hole
lions crouch low nearby

three-pronged ambuscade
buffalo calf culled from herd
swift pincer attack

quarried prey springs forth
stressed calf serpentines about
lead lion cuts angle

driven toward snare
flanks assaulted from both sides
vise tightened prey clasped

Feels Like Home: Glenn Hughes

You sing of how it feels to be
At the waterside 
Like the willow tree

How the nightly schemes 
Comfort troubled heart;
Velvet pillow dreams

As to window gaze
Past the memory haze
Of love's vocal praise

'May God guide me through'
Your voice it sings
Back to home so true

Waters edge gator lies raccoon gets big surprise! In forest something hides bird on branch with two slit eyes... Unsuspecting no cry empty branch lump inside! Snake digesting waterside hungry croc snake inside! Swimming salmon seeking spawn searing pain bears claw! Plants decay feeding ground newborn sprouts spring abounds. Life’s cycle ever green it recycles everything. Life’s cycle circles ‘round all life feeds ground.
