Study in WhiteAcrid smoke in the scientist’s bell jar
Blankets of chenille-covered snow
Crystalline carbon diamond star

Effervescent waterfalls’ dreams
Frothy-topped cappuccinos
Gelid surfaces of lakes and streams
Halos of angels in holy repose
Icebergs splitting from their source...

FishOh to be a fish, what a fine life it must be,
Swimming all day long in its very own sea.
Floating among the greens and the rocks,
Diving for food with the eye of a hawk.
If only...

Quaint Coastal SettingWe parked on an old quay
Amidst a quaint coastal setting
Surrounded by platinum clouds
Minds soon interpreting
In poise our thoughts now action
Thralled by the essence of her perfume
No longer are we in said quandary
Now down...

Falling Through Your WaterfallWatching a waterfall is so stunning
it holds you within its grasp
it paints in you many a picture
so fruitful from a mango to a rasp
Imagine sailing down one wide river
feels so deep and incredibly high
then all...

WATERA flash a gleam a sudden stream
Slipping out of a hole like a snake
Her strength her flowing escape
A symbol of life she travels from
hidden places by routes that she creates.
