Golden Hoodoos, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, United States of America

Heavy Metals

I searched and searched
For hearts of gold
Burdened by
My leaden heart

Such sweet gift I proffered
To other souls
None taking

From a valley of hot desolation

Time & Mastery

And mastery
Wash away

Not me

Let diligence
And patience
Bring on
The insightful
Flood

Let my spirit
Rise
From the flat
Featureless plain

From here to there
And there to here

To see what’s there
Or bring it here

And burn them
To keep what’s there

Breakers

Wash over me
Cleansing waves
Free me
From this detritus
Of life’s
Discontent

Naked

Sometimes

I feel so naked

And you’re the only one
And you can’t figure out
Just how you got to be there
Without any clothes

I love finding the places
Which make me feel forever
Which connect me
To the workings of the Earth
To the stars beyond the clouds
As if the horizon
Reached out to infinity
