first snow
white oblivion
whispers
to sleeping earth
hush…
let go
frantic mind
surrender
hush…
forgive your past
your sins
your separation
hush…
a blanket
of serenity
hush
white oblivion
cuddles me
in love’s eternity
first snow
melts,
drips
slowly
down the face
of my soul
hush…

in the muck of news’ day platitudes
I’ve lost my cheery attitude
midst hate and anger screamed and spewed
what happened to beatitudes
but past these ugly, mindless feuds
beyond behavior simply rude
there is another world that can be viewed
in Nature’s holy latitudes
in this world outside our doors
flowers dance, birds sing, and oceans roar
a world that heeds not human news
where souls soar high on gratitude

we are different
cultures, countries, civilizations
apart
and yet
the same
beating
throbbing
heart

I broke onto a flat plateau
into a world I chanced to know
after hours of hillside sweat
I stopped to breathe a land yet met
beyond in vast infinity
blue mountains rolled in majesty
and from the ridge on which I perched
a path led on
a primal urge
Surrounded in a flower sea
the buzz of life enveloped me
bright colors fed my starving eyes
a soul connect with ancient ties
floating on forever feet
lungs filled deep with earthly sweets
body lost and spirit led
I followed on to find my bed
this a world I’d only dreamed
so many years
so many schemes
until at last a mountain climbed
brought me home
to Nature’s mind

a lone form sits
in front of fire
a sacred glow
on sea of black
as sparks rise
to eternity
I warm my hands
cold nips my back
giant shadows shelter me
dark branches reach for stars
I shiver
then look out again
as time swims into hours
a tiny speck of being I am
no more no less than all
alone
yet somehow one
I know the peace of home
a hint of bright appears beyond
a light begins to grow
moon man crawls up into night
revealing worlds below
in silent silver majesty
on every hill I see
the silhouettes of noble elk
taking midnight tea
the curtain lifts
strange voices shriek
a thousand years unfold
as Nature’s unseen opera shouts
to spirits now and old
with these wild
coyote swoons
I watch Man’s dreams
fly past the moon

Memories
Gasping from my lofty climb
I search for shadows left behind
The ghosts of journeys
once so strong
how can it be
they’re so far gone
In this forlorn solitude
my spirit aches to be renewed
to share the path of life again
to walk beside a noble friend
Comes a surge of unseen screams
a flood of faces from past dreams
warm memories sooth my aching heart
I climb again to find my part

Returned
I am the prince
Returned from shadows past
From lives before
To claim my throne
I am the God I am
I run no more
From distant thunder
Fear no loss from any man
My wounds are healed
My heart is whole
I am the God I am
I am the sun, first morning light
I am the wind caressing souls
I am the moon, the purest love
I am the God I am
I am the sky, the talking stars
I am the fire, forever free
I am Creation, the lovers’ passion
I am the Light in you

in magic mist
