Boy at the EndMy Huskie watches the sailboats
From the end of our dock

Looking down and over their shoulder
Singing...

of that grief he is holding on so rigidly,
prompting a picture of his wife, sniffing the same flowers
as she walked the aisle, he smiles stupidly.

SENTRYSENTRY
Be ever on duty, it is surely best
Never sleep, or even try to rest

Yet by its history, not obsessed
But...

hewn beneath the axeman's blade
its ageless corpse decays
sending up those honey...

All In Days WorkGripped by toiled hand,
Hissing sound I hear everywhere
Reverberating the youthfulness of my days,
Where lullaby and executioner's fierce reign
Echoing my ego to whisper in solitude,
Where I used to be.
This is where I'm in now,
Blow torch, leads...

OwnThe life that we live we think we can choose.
Characteristics, free-will we think we can use.

I as a good mental patient
I throw boulders upon it so large
To create obstacles worthy of medals for me,
If I could overcome them.
I live with grace
While I...

There All AlongJust simply sit
leaving mind alone
without trying to change a thing
or rush it along.
Let it be
relaxed and at ease
and eventually the Nature of Mind
will show its face
like a shy fish
that has been there all along.

Leaving Marks(Canyonlands NP, 2014)
Leaving Marks
I guess I want to

Yet still I try.
It’s the nature of being...
