Sunrise
Sun rising in the distance.
Slowly staining the sky in its wake.
The sky is painted with perfect hues of blue and pink.
Clouds spread across the sky like cotton.
A soft breeze blowing through the trees.
That breeze, so gentle, caresses my face.
That delicate caress grounds me with each breath.

Universal Rhymes in Unitarian Time
If Eastern eco-redemption
integrates unitarian-longing bodhisattvas
perhaps
Western peace-salvation
engages universal-belonging co-messiahs.
When highly functioning just-us
CONSCIENtious organic bodies
are also
1 eco-zone of co-redemptive dancing
Then deeply flowing peace-full
RELIGious sacred minds
are also
0-ego-zone of salvific
EarthPatriotic/GaiaMatriotic
resonantly singing
resilient dancers.
Just because relationships resonantly rhyme
doesn't mean they are always
and everywhere True
AND
Because resilient correlations rhyme
throughout reasoned time
and seasoned space
also does not kindly mean we are never
and nowhere
not amusingly

If Mother Earth Came Forth Today
If Mother Earth came forth today
she'd throw her hand up, and would say.
"Oh my dear world what have you done?
Look closely at what you've become."
Humanity with no regard
to live in peace can't be too hard!
Destruction, pillage, selfish greed,
all comes from want, and not from need.
You strip the trees, the soil is bare
You mine my lands

In the rain shadow of Majave Desert I eat hot sand
I am singing with their Death Valley
I have allowed them to build my faith under a Joshua Tree

The End
We are waiting and praying
Hoping that it won't happen
But it was seen so long ago
The date when common sense died
The lunatics became the leaders
And talking no longer worked
All it took was one wrong word
The flexing of a muscle too many
Just one finger on one button, and it was over
The daylight disappeared in a moment
Nighttime's green

I am Turquoise
I am forever roaming, turquoise,
Thrashing, with a roaring noise.
I'm often kissed by sunset's lips,
Red in passing, on endless trips.
Reflected in my sparkling deeps,
The sky I once was, often peeps.
I'm foliage and flowers and birds.
I am so much, but I'm also earth!
Lately, I'm more blue than green.
Save the planet! Keep it all clean!

what remains after the rot
a rotten tree sprouts green
looking far more alive than it ever was
filled with life it shielded itself from before
seeming it's most beautiful
being slowly eaten alive
the rot becomes known
and now,
feeling most useless, it is most useful
to all, to all
piece by piece
it's torn apart
into a home
by all, for all
why

Ego
Ego
Can one compose I, Me, Mine and Myself?
Are you unpretentious hanging on to your
Ego?
Dualistic personalities is it the beast? A seeker
of pure pleasures? Guilty until proven innocent
Amongst your peers.
Digging in the dirt is it the devil inside ?
Animal instincts reviewing the situation at hand
Sends chills up and down one's spine.
Complexities of

At the mountain's peak, where the sky touches the earth
At the mountain's peak, where the sky touches the earth,
Stands the graceful woman, determined in every moment, for every soul,
She trembles slightly, like a bird waiting, gentle in her love,
Her story unfolds in blue echoes, under the gaze of the stars.
In the pale moonlight, she speaks of the cold that froze the homes,
She asks with

Is there still time for us song version
Is there still time for us?
vs 1
I wake up to a sunrise,
and a beautiful blue sky,
so many questions unanswered
I'm still left with the big why
vs 2
I see that the earth still turns,
we watch as our planet burns?
will humans never learn?
Is there still time for us?
Chorus
Is there still time for us?
Haven't we seen enough?

Brown Eyes
Reminiscent of a doe
with a hue as rich as earth,
your gaze takes me home
to a cedar-filled hearth.
Welcoming like hot chocolate
and as vibrant as autumn's leaves,
your stare carries the life
that Mother Nature herself weaves.
Neutral, yet expressive—
as versatile as leather, but still so alive—
your eyes are the gemstones
favored by the sun and I alike.
