her head was down
her hair flowing toward ground zero
but did she wake up?

and he was in charge of her

A Wakening Beneath the Stars
Objects in the foreground, images are unclear
Nature in slumber, dreams have filled in,
All creatures are asleep, night moves out
Scanning the vista, life will soon begin
New day has begun, night slept well
Shades to open, nature responds to light
Suspended state of awareness, dreams won’t last
Night illusions past, silhouettes fade from sight.
Nature coming into view, recognition over time
Moon’s

from sun, to star, to mushroom bomb, we have

Imagine Wakening Up
Imagine wakening up and not a single sound to be heard
No chirping of birds, beautiful visions now become blurred
Imagine wakening up to find all the colours have gone
Then you start to wonder did you hear them sing their songs
Imagine wakening up not knowing who are all around
The closing in of the abyss consuming your

The Wakening
The world spins kaleidoscopic, a whorl of color in revolt.
Oceans quake malleable, molding into fissures of tectonic hunger,
ravaging the deep, stirring the primal need depressing
populations’ unseen to the denizens of land, disregarded in man’s wake.
From the diatom, to the whale, from the single cell to the open hand
from the sun, to the stars, to

Wakening Grooves
In wakening grooves
When you try and control it
All falls apart
When you forfeit control
All is bliss
In wakening grooves
Do what you love
Dew it as often as possible
In wakening grooves.
