Abyss Above the Vale
High in the Eyrie, stone cold and stark,
Where stars peer in and walls leave a mark,
The sky is a floor and the wind is a blade,
And the edge is a whisper where brave men fade.
The stone is slanted, the door left wide,
So night may beckon and pride may slide.
Here justice hangs by a falcon’s cry,
In

Visions of the Vale
“Look deep into nature and you’ll understand everything better.”
Albert Einstein
I stood on the sloped path near the waterfall.
Mesmerised by the sound of falling water.
All around grew green-leafed ferns,
While tall poplars and redwoods provided
Ample shade that covered the running stream.
Tall purple pickerel plants, scarlet cardinal

R.S.V.P.
I read your note today.
You begged me to stay.
I needed to get away.
You asked for a reply.
I could only sigh.
I knew I would lie.
Tears blurred as I wrote.
My hand scribbled a note.
I didn’t want to gloat.
I knew I was right.
I wanted you out of my sight.
Because of all of your slights.
My response is in the

The Vale of Vision
Where a loving peace reign down
I found a vale of vision
Lying by my side
Searching beyond the horizon
Splashing color's
In a tapestry of life
A love so delicate and free
A gift of grace abound
And at that very moment
I knew what I had found
Peace
Tranquility
A Vision
Close at hand
To rekindle the fading fire
To bring a flame back

Vale Paradiso
Vale Paradiso
The sea life is blueness caused by monotony
Formica tables and dirty fingernails
as the ship wanders between water vales
climbing to the top of mountainous berg
and sharply falling into a foamy brew
when the storm persists, knowing a small
mishap is fatal, there is nothing one can
do, but hoping the end will be quick
In my ignorance, I

Four o'clock
At four o'clock,
Your world wakes:
My dainty array
Of a rainbow vale.
With fascination,
Every four o'clock I
Watch your opening eyes
Obey - without a fight -
The alarm clock in your mind.

Curves Contours Vale Mounds And Folds
Curves valleys mounds and folds
A sweeping landscape we choose to travel
And enjoy to linger for a time
Whenever we can
To us and our companion
To the High peak of satisfaction
And release mounting tension
In the pleasant valley below
A much-needed vacation
Then it's back to work
Again.

The Vessel pt 1 - A Blighted Vale II
The Vessel pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 2/2)
Amongst the dead and dying trees,
A Stygian crypt of crumbling stone
A doorway opened, not with man-made keys,
But forgotten tongue from forgotten tome
This ancient ruin with obscured glyphs,
Gently brushed clean with calloused tips
Whispered words from cracked, parched lips,
Spill forth with unhindered ease—
Like oft spoken lines from cherished

The Vessel pt 1 - A Blighted Vale I
The Vessel pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 1/2)
A solitary figure off the beaten path,
The air a palpable gloom
Be it mortal or shade of someone passed,
No longer in want of a tomb
Betwixt a shuffling gait and steady pace,
A sole impression leaves foliage displaced
This mark being the only telltale trace
It may be of flesh and

Violet Vale
In the hush of dawn, brimming with violets,
I wandered to the wild side,
Where whisper of wind told tales,
Of secret buried deep within the heart,
Of a valley untouched, untamed,
To essense pure, a silent testimony,
To natures undying vow.
As dusk descended, shadows played,
With colors fading, yet hope remained,
For in this sacred, silent space,
The soul finds, solace and love

Lost Cities of Indus Vale
I hail thee ruins of Indus Vale!
With scented rhyme, with scented gale
Come on from world of mortal dead!
O come and lively wind inhale!
More ancient than the pyramids
That rule on ancient Egypt land
Thy wild wild eyes, with thy soft lids
They gazed on shimmering Indus sand
I will inhale thy breath in breath
O harken me

Vale Jim Beaumont
Each day you lived was a task
No ending just a sorrow to the last
You made a home for your family
With wife Nancy daughters Jane Arnna and son Grant so happily
But a monster intervened to destroy them
To take the Beaumont children and a parents peace did end
Your Nancy died and left you alone
To live your final

Vale a Pena
A quinta-feira
é um dia para
fazer
valer a pena
acelere os passos,
faça com pouco,
mais e mais.
Acelere seus
passos, vá

acelere seus
passos, com
uma mente
decidida
a fazer
com pouco
ou muito,
mais e mais.

Vale Mick Standing
Some people stand out in your thoughts
Of deeds done and strength brought
Mick Standing we remember as a friend
And a detective to uphold the right and the law to defend
He stood by members as a committee man
In the Association by popular demand
But now he has passed on in our memories
Another face gone no more to

The Vale Below
We’re off on a hike to the vale below
As happy as can be
The trees are lovely shades of brown
As far as the eye can see
Can see
As far as the eye can see
The air is brisk; the sky is clear
And we have far to go
The temperature is falling fast
And there’s a hint of snow
Of snow
And
