The Moon....

...burns bright

In my sky

On this cloudless night

Flickers of light

Underneath it's glow

Just a glimmer

Just a WISH

That only I know

Yearning

4

YOU!

The Bridge to Forever

Cold seeps in...

raindrops
turn to snow
giving an awesome glow

Wet....all WET over you...

Moisture...
beading
dripping
dewing Beguiling
Smiling

Stuck on you

There in the Wilderness

There entered quiet
Into my soul
Peace in the wilderness
When the world takes its toll

Whispering winds
Giant trees
Towering mountains
There to please

Enter now
Into my soul
Quiet
Peace

There in a field
There in the wilderness

Wilderness is Sanity

Sunset on a Winters Day...

We search for perfection

We search for the ideal

We search and we search

for

That which is real

Just give me peace Lord

Take me through the day

Give me laughter

Give me joy

Give me love

and

YOU Lord

please stay

Winter is wandering in.


The cold
About to begin

Frosty air
Trees shivering bare

A certain beauty

Of this season

A time of rest

Before rebirth

On the Day
When the weight deadens
On your shoulders
And you stumble
May the clay dance
To balance you

And when your eyes
Freeze hehind
The gray window
And the ghost of loss
Gets into you,
May a flock or colors
Indigo, Red, Green
And Azure blue
Come to awaken in you
A meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays
In the curragh of thought
And a stain of ocean
Blackens beneath you,
May there come across the waters
A path of yellow moonlight
To bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.

And so may a slow
Wind work these words
Of LOVE around you,
An invisible cloak
To mind your life.

I LOVE YOU

May all....

That is unforgiven in you
Be released

May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.

May all that is unlived in you
Blossom into a future
Graced with LOVE.

jo'd

It is but another strand
In the weaving of life.

New Beginnings

In out of the way places of the heart
where your thoughts never think to wander
This beginning has been quietly forming.
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the EMPTINESS growing inside you
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
STILL UNABLE to LEAVE what you had OUTGROWN.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the GRAY PROMISES that sameness whispered
Heard the WAVES of TURMOIL rise and relent,
Wondered HOW you would ALWAYS LIVE LIKE THIS!

Then the delight when your courage kindled
And out you stepped onto NEW GROUND
Your eyes young again with energy and dream
A path of plenitude opening before you.

THOUGH YOUR DESITINATION IS NOT YET CLEAR..
YOU CAN TRUST THE PROMISE OF THIS OPENING
Unfurl yourself into the grace of BEGINNING
That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit with adventure
Hold nothing back, learn to find the ease in risk.
SOON you will be home in a new rhythm
For your SOUL senses the world that awaits you.

Climb the Mountains

and

Get their good tidings

Natures peace will flow into you as

Sunshine flows into the trees

The winds will blow their own freshess in to you

and

The storms their energy

While cares will drop off like Autumn leaves

John Muir

Walk through the darkness

Take control of your fear

There is LIGHT

On the other side

Wind Swept....

...And Fancy Free She's been coaxed
She's been magnetized
She's has happy as can be

He Entices
He Beguiles
He Captivates ME


She and He....the dance of enticement...the leaves on the trees.

Thinking of YOU...

As Cumulus Clouds
Cover SKY BLUE

YELLOW

Wrapping up Autumn's gifts for one last hurrah!!!!

YELLOW (#3 in the Rainbow)

Many Shades of Color
I See
The differences
The likenesses
Between You
and Me

Bright times

and Paler times

But all filled with a unique love

and the Desire to BE!!!

Time Has a Way

We sat apon this weathered bench
Passing the time of day
Reflecting
Ruminating
Wondering.
Stretching the mind and calming our souls.

Feeling the ease, wrapped in the warmth of friendship.
Filled with heat and fire, tenderness and affection.

Numburrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzz.....

i thunk......

that the man I fell in love with would someday
carry me off into the sunset.....

but he passionately said....
I think the nature of the earth
renders that dream impossible....

Orange.....# 2 in the Rainbow.....

Colors of Fall....
...And silly holidays...

YOU BRIGHTEN UP MY DAY

Quite Immensely

I must say!!!!

My Soul.....

Feels your warm gentle breathing

Words of gentle calm

Healing for the soul.

Come share the warm nourishment of Peace

With me.

LIGHT of the SOUL

Come...

Walk with me

In the peaceful quiet

Of the eve.

The Sun rests low

Glimmering through the trees

Letting us know

That day is done

The tranquil vision

Is with us

A serene day spent together.....

Soft candle light of the soul shared ....

The memory, forever more.

Delicate

Vision of simple desire

Rest in the arms of one who cares

Come to me and rest

Cotton Candy Clouds

Lightly decorate the sky

So far away

A tiny tiny sliver of moon

Bright

Beautiful

Peaceful

Fieldling

A falcon of the air

He flies effortlessly

Soaring to new heights

Never the earth he fights

He comes to rest

On solid ground

Peace forever

He has found

Even in Gloom there is Beauty

"PEEKIN" out at YOU
Dark, Grays and Whites

Rust Snuggled In

Beauty out of Gloom

Let Peace Begin

Ethereal
Tenuous
Vaporous

The FOG seeps in...

Enshrouding
Clouding and
Surrounding

It IS a MASQUERADE!

It LURKS about
Ensconcing me

Tell me how
Such a filmy substance
Can entangle my soul and smother me?

Fogged In

I'm headin' In

Into a FOG

Don't know where

I'm goin'

I'm Lost

I'm all alone

My heart is shredded

Got the blinders on

No peripheral Vision

No freedom Song

Its deep

Its dark

Freedom shrouded in

I'm Lost

I'm Lost

I'm all ALONE!!!

Waiting

Green

Full of Potential

Yet

Closed

Waiting

Waiting for the Right Time

To Open

To Blossom

To Share its immense Beauty

Waiting

Ride Out That Storm....There is Great Pleasure Beyond!!!!!!

A torrential storm

Overwhelmed the earth

Winds ripped and tore

Ripping trees apart

From their very core

Rains poured down

Drenching

Pulverizing

Conquering the ground

The Aftermath

Showed Violence

and

Revealed a tortured earth

Confetti strewn sidewalks

Leaves

Plucked prematurely

From their trees

YET

Despite the Destruction

Beauty has prevailed

Survival of the fittest

The SUN shines through

RELIEF

From all of the pain

Glorious Color

For ME to CLAIM

Never

Guess I never will
be in that place
that I want to be

Loved deeply
Held tightly
yet all the while free

Alone for me
in a place
that only one understands

Shadows and light
Fields and oak trees
Hold me, just hold me
please... please

Sweet October Rain

Sweet October Rain...
...pour down on me
Drench me with your moisture
Wash away the dust and pain

Soften the dusty blows
Open up my soul
Follow the river
Where ever it goes

Envelope me
Surround me
Rivulets of Love
Deep from within
Wash them forward
To
The complex heart
Of my friend

Deep sorrow
I feel for him
Wash away
Wash away his pain
Sweet October Rain

Prisms

Prisms of light I see...

Light as a feather to me...

A simple bead of water...

A single ray of light and hope

On this feather....Floating free!

LIVE ANEW

STOP!!!!

Fall has arrived

RED

A Signal....

That all things green

Must end.

Soon the winds will blow

Leaves will gesticulate

And clammer...STOP~STOP~STOP

Time to Rest

Time to Renew

Regroup

Gather Anew...

A time of Frozen White

Is apon us

Yes....Rest awhile

Then LIVE ANEW!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
