Living with the riff-raff
Sometimes I think
It would be nice
To have a many-headed serpent
Guarding my front door
Barring the riff-raff and chaff

Guarding my front door
Barring the riff-raff and chaff
The Great Walls
There are beauties and ugliness
In this world
Beyond my ken; beyond my perception
As if protected by an impenetrable wall
In this world
Beyond my ken; beyond my perception
As if protected by an impenetrable wall
Walls and Boundaries
We think we build walls
Because we are human
But all living things
Build walls
Because we are human
But all living things
Build walls
And so we believe ourselves conscious
When every pattern we create
Has already been created
In our unconscious
I think I erect boundaries
To protect myself from what’s not me
But my boundaries
Enclose me
And so I define myself
Not by what is me
But by what is not me
Leaving no other possibility
Lost Love
Love is a flame
Compassion at the core
The heart glows orange
Embers fuel passion’s fire

Sunlight sifts through leafy boughs. Green-tinged, it swaddles the room with peaceful rays. Two walls of glass panes open to nature’s embrace. City streets and city worries seem far removed.
“Do you hear it?”
“What?”
“The sound.”
Nature’s little trials
Sometimes we do conquer
Nature’s little trials
With graceful power and beauty
A blessed act of style
Nature’s little trials
With graceful power and beauty
A blessed act of style
Should we grow too cocky
Nature, she will smile
With graceful power and beauty
The beauty of Mesa Verde
It is easy enough to forget
What we are capable of
Without all the machines
And technologies of the massive
What we are capable of
Without all the machines
And technologies of the massive
Such exquisite beauty
Sunrise and Solitude in the City
Sunlight penetrates the dawn
Fiery, virile, urgent
Skyline silhouette
City slumbering, still
Fiery, virile, urgent
Skyline silhouette
City slumbering, still
Solitude
Among millions
Sole witness
To creation
