Amber gold
Sun wraps the day
In magic hues
A gift to put away
In darkest places
And there stay wrapped
‘Til morning comes

End of Day
The sun’s come ’round
To end the day
Light conceding
Night repealing
To end the day
Light conceding
Night repealing
In the darkness
That’s to come
A world revealed
Which can’t be viewed
It’s heard
And touched
It’s smells ignored
When eyes can see
Was there life before life?
I love the places which transport me
Back to a time
When all there was
Was rock
And gas
And water
Back to a time
When all there was
Was rock
And gas
And water
A time before anything lived
And the closest thing to life
Were molecules
Which looked like
The kinda things
You built life with
Bridges
There is a bridge
From here to anywhere
Though oft I cross
In naught but metaphor
From here to anywhere
Though oft I cross
In naught but metaphor
Still, if I land
On farther shores
Though metaphor

Framing the World
Sometimes the frame
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
The same is true
When exploring
Philosophy, science
And relationships
The subject
Of any investigation
Is not always as interesting
As the context of its conditions
Small Wonders
The heat of the day lingers
Even as the low haze
Filters the sunken sun
Even as the low haze
Filters the sunken sun
I stop for a moment
Lean up against the fender
In the dry, brittle air
While the engine tinks and cracks
I never tire
Of the small wonders this world offers
Steel Wheels
Steel Wheels
Get me where I’m goin’
When rubber on the road failed
And the leather on my soles
Wore through
Get me where I’m goin’
When rubber on the road failed
And the leather on my soles
Wore through
Freedom
Ain’t never gotten with a dollar
Or no lawful decree
Not like a box car
Give to me
Naked
Sometimes
I feel so naked
Exposed
And alone
Like in the dream
Where you’re at school
Or at work
Without any clothes on
And you’re the only one
And you can’t figure out
Just how you got to be there
Without any clothes
