Waste Is a negative Sounding word It seems to me it’s Actually a good thing For others and a gift of profit Some glean the easy low hanging fruit While others survive on the leftovers I can see that every day if I look The byproduct of raw material Ends up the profit for the [...]

Somewhere High in the mountains Snow begins to melt slowly Giving rise to along the way To the grateful life in its sphere When I stand high looking around And begin to see the effect I imagine At times I feel so insignificant and small Until I realize the source of freedom Is being part [...]

Rugged Deceptively beautiful Worn by time warmed by the sun Will the spec of dust we are be missed? I am now content to just see the moon Above the handwritten wispy clouds Knowing that you exist nearby Occupying the same sky At the same time      

Dig deeper Into my mind and soul Listen carefully to what I say And even closer to what is unsaid I’m not really a difficult person to read There are layers of me you should really see I know there is a part of you than rarely shows And it’s never spoken out loud but [...]

Each day I awake to Find the mood Of the morning I have to admit I Like the cool morning fog The softness of color and light It has to be the pastel velvet Feel that comforts me within Like a smile from a friend Who knows my persona And still smiles

St. Louis Arch Seen Through a Playground Swing Set Perspective of the Heart To see a monumental object Through the eyes of a small child I can understand the power of perspective There can never be a truly objective insight Without understanding distance and dimensions Yet with my heart, reality is surmounted Love’s p

Obscured Veiled beauty Streams of white translucence Hide your whole  face from me Yet your essence can be seen Between lines and beyond The small bits we share In our conversations I yearn for the more You will never Disappoint Me

Adobe Against a windy sky Dry mud and high clouds It all seems so simple and common So easily missed so fortunately found People of value float into my life To my credit I look closely At the grace they carry It is so rare to be Disappointed So very Rare

Friendship Nothing alike As different as possible But for one unwavering trait Knowledge of the better angels Preconception is a myth of the cynic Acceptance and understanding  is  the Grace of all true love and friendship Closeness is not about proximity When you stand by a friend It is always about belief Thank you frie

Growing Color on paintbrushes Aching for prismatic light Dying to view this image tonight Wondering if I’ll see more than I saw At first sight on the walk I took today They are images of my imagination Intoxicating my mind sweetly Like the nectar of Your smile      

Red Faced Bundled up For the cold day Stay full of color and music Wild and free within your skin Tomorrow will warm to The song you sing And the love You always Bring

Infinity Exists in beauty Imagination doesn’t end I find so much to share with you So much you may or may not see Beauty exists everywhere around us Do we see this satisfying serenity Through eyes of a differing lens We twist into differing shapes Linking dark spots within Beauty’s endless unity     &#

Light And Shadow In photography And in normal living It is neither light nor dark that That impress on my mind amazement I find the contrast of images is what wakes me Black, white and every other hue together Snap me back to reality and fullness Light creates the darker shadow Darkness creates the depth [...]

Catching Moonlight Soft sensation Of an inner search Thoughts rush around Blue thoughts red fantasy White hot dreams fade Cooler crystal clarity Invades with sweet Disregard for fear Wrapped in green Familiar forests Of calming love I close my eyes And I dream    

Kokopelli Trickster and master Of music playing his flute Dancing to the spirit within That is the place life begins It’s the place of serenity We all seek and lose When life is given Freely to others With no thought Of our desires, Our needs Our love

Missing The familiar The everyday The comfortable fit The joy of fresh days A place with friends who Who make me smile within Glowing like a snowy field Or a coastal landscape I do love travel But home is Where my Heart Lives    

Solitary But not alone. Majestic beauty Of pastel shades sublimely Etched in increments of time. Knowing when you close your eyes There is a neighboring ridge of rock That holds you in imagined grace Giving you space to breathe Blocking the harsh wind Blushing at sundown Attentive always A friend

I remember the night I remember midnight In blue

I will not crawl into a cave, I will not back off today

Masked Mona Lisa holds court with a smile

We are the immortal vampires of all creation
