I cross the valley floor
Under the gaze of giants
The land’s sentinels for time
Long forgotten
Under the gaze of giants
The land’s sentinels for time
Long forgotten
Under A Wan Sun
On a cool day
Under a wan sun
Sintering through the cloud
Throwing speculars here
A weak shadow there
Under a wan sun
Sintering through the cloud
Throwing speculars here
A weak shadow there
A young man throws sticks to his dog
Which gleefully, gaspingly
Retrieves them
Discovering the Unexpected
I love discovering the unexpected
Love finding my way into a newness
I had never imagined before
Love finding my way into a newness
I had never imagined before
I love it so much
I tend to find it
Where others see only the everyday
Only the expected
Moral Victories
Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Visiting an ant’s world
I step up to the rim
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight
When it’s no longer possible
To get an image
With a hand-held camera
I sit down
And bask in the immensity
The smoke of a distant fire
The smoke of a distant forest
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph
Become a beacon in the dark
I try to imagine us
Each and every one
A point light of spirit
In our bodies manifest
Each and every one
A point light of spirit
In our bodies manifest
Most drawn to center
Where all of us are one
But many lost in darkness
To drift beyond the crest
Beautiful & Alien
Sometimes I can’t recognize
The Earth I’m walking on
Beautiful and alien
The Earth I’m walking on
Beautiful and alien
Forms and lines
With seeming guile
Lead my eye
On paths unknown
Every day a victory
Every day a victory
When before the dawn
When before the dawn
I rise from sleep
To greet the sun
With song and peace
Then in its light
Join reverie
For life and love
And Harmony
