Sometimes
I can see for miles and miles
But still have no clue
Where the road will take me
I can see for miles and miles
But still have no clue
Where the road will take me

Like Icing
On the approach
I smell the sea salt
Heavy in the onshore wind
I smell the sea salt
Heavy in the onshore wind
I know the waves
Will be breaking
Far off the shore
Carrying their foam
Up onto the beach
Breakers on the Hard Shore
I am calmest
Where the ocean breaks
On a hard shore
Where the ocean breaks
On a hard shore
Where waves crash onto jagged rock
Foaming
Each breaker a crescendo
Of thunderous water
Closest to true
Seven towers guide the sun into the morning sky
The didjeridu rumbles under my fingertips
A rumble which extends down into my chest
Thrums under my sternum
My body, electric, vibrates with the energy of life
The didjeridu rumbles under my fingertips
A rumble which extends down into my chest
Thrums under my sternum
My body, electric, vibrates with the energy of life
Aum, it says
I drive through history
I drive through history
Illuminating the present
Drawing a map
Into the future
Illuminating the present
Drawing a map
Into the future
I remind myself
Do not linger in the past
I need to know where I am
And look where I am going
Nature’s Lovely Hand
It is a landscape made
Of sparse rain and heat
Of sparse rain and heat
Yet over time,
This brush and paint
Create a land
Of uncommon beauty
Nature’s Sense of Fun
Sometimes I just like to sit back
And marvel at Nature’s sense of fun
Her playful way with shape and form
Her vivacious turns with landscape
And marvel at Nature’s sense of fun
Her playful way with shape and form
Her vivacious turns with landscape
Joshua Tree
Rising out of a fantastical landscape
Of weathered granite, gravel and scrub
The Joshua Tree
Of weathered granite, gravel and scrub
The Joshua Tree
Like a gnarled old man
The elder of the land
With a mighty presence
San Francisco
It is nature which most often
Takes away my breath
With feats of scale
And magnificence
Takes away my breath
With feats of scale
And magnificence
Sometimes, even we small creatures
We engineers and builders
With concrete and steel
Overcome mighty nature
Every wall falls
Eventually
Every wall falls
Or is breached
Or otherwise defeated
Every wall falls
Or is breached
Or otherwise defeated
Time crumbles their mortar
Context shifts their efficacy
Or a new technology
Renders them impotent
