I Am Nothing

Old hunter lifts head,
shattered lives lay at his feet.
Tears roll down his cheek.

Reflection

Waterfall to pond,
ripple to mirrored stillness.
This beauty to face.

Love

Lone wolf with curled lip.
Chimney catches the curled smoke.
No no no..yes.

Clear Water

Still pool, shaft of light,
sleeping eyes open..reflect.
Lips bow down to drink.

Dog-Gone

Straggy sad dog
left all alone,
head on her paws
sleeping on stone.

Skin and bare bone,
her life undone,
eyes dimly see,
rain is to come.

Death softly cries
"Oh little one,
come here to me,
I am the sun"

Her tail wags once
her heart's last leap,
This little puppy,
slips into sleep.

Wakes in your arms
holding her dear,
A dream she had,
distant past clear.

She could be yours
She could be mine
One never knows
Until it's time.

Spirit

Transparent and flowing following natures way
tripping and tumbling as bright as the day
clear to drink and innocent of faith
it offers new life for all to embrace.

Round rock and within our earth it does ply
when water hits bottom does waterfall die?
No life unbidden fails to stop
the siren sea call within each drop.

World Refugee Day

A child cries.

Please don't look at me.
I look back
Begin to smile
Shy trembling heart
One glimmer of joy
in a world of pain.

You look away.

Please don’t talk to me.
I open my mouth,
Forgotten words
Tumble and fall
from childhood lost
like toys in the rain.

You turn away

Please forget me.
I can’t bear the pain
Of looks and words
Offered but not kept
Both blind and deaf
Each, a small death.

You forget me.

Oasis of Life

Lost in a desert
Footprints lie, don't look back
Oasis of love.

Wisdom's Gate

Knowing he knows not,
the old man leaps, clicks his heels.
His child touches ground.

Can You Surrender To Love

Can you surrender to Love so complete
So utterly now sense slips into sleep 
So quietly sane not caring  for thought
Be free of minds grip and all it has wrought
Can you silence beliefs, desires and dreams,
All fears and doubts that continue to ream
And fall within to be consumed by Love
To share Nature's gifts and fly with the dove.
Can you surrender to Love past will be 
No longer controlling of you and me
No future to worry leave at time’s gate
To exist in this moment, life’s estate. 

Will you surrender to love so to set
Your beloved free right from the get 
No more shackles or bonds, human and whole 
Dancing with Life and melodic with soul.
Will you settle free of anger and blame
Tribe and nation or religion and shame
Freeing our children from all the above
They are all our children, free them to Love.
Will you surrender to love seize the key 
The key you were born with for us to be
Our own True self spirit body and mind 
The resonance that holds for all mankind.

When you surrender to Love, to be still
No puppet to ego nor grist for mill 
To see your life’s stories and all of that
To love them the same, they are your begat.
When veils fall swiftly and grace gives birth
Clarity is yours and you will rock with mirth
For Love abounds and is not tied to worth
Instead flowing open inclusive of Earth. 
When you surrender to Love you will find 
Astonishment there in a peace sublime
For all that is ever was and will be
You hold in your heart so simply be thee.
