APRIL SHOWERS PASS , AS EARLY JUNE APPROACHES

CARPETS OF LAVENDER SWEETEN THE AIR

FROM AN OPEN WINDOW I LOOK AND I DREAM, SUBTLE BREATHS OF AIR MOVE THE NETS, FROM CEILING TO FLOOR, INTO DANCING A GHOSTLIKE WHISPERING SONG

ENTRANCED, HEMS GLIDE THE BARE FLOOR, SWIRLING THE  MAKE UP, TO SHINE ONCE MORE

A RAVEN CALLS FROM ABOVE,  THE RAIN

I  MIND NOT ,  THE SILL POOLS GATHERING  BEFORE ME

LISTEN! LISTEN! HEAR NATURES TUNE 

EACH NOTE'S SUCCULENCE  SAPPED  DOWN BELOW

A  PURITY

REFRESHING TO MY SOUL

I RETIRE, AND ANNOUNCE , THIS OPEN WINDOW CLOSED

Wither away
You the flower
For you gave me so much pleasure
Through the summer
But now your time has come to be born again
Carefree bird, sing to me the sweet song of life
As you bounce with grace across the muddy
Mounds
And now you are satisfied with your wormy grub
Tell me,where your flight today will take you
It maybe your last
Who knows what tomorrow brings,or even
If it comes
But while the moment lasts lets fly, fly
with hope to see tomorrow

SMOULDERING JACKETS, STIFFENED LIMBS

AN ANSWERLESS STATE

THE GOOD LOOKS CHANGED IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

LOST ARE THE MEMORIES OF LIVES AND LOVES, BLOWN AWAY IN THE IMPARTIAL WIND

RAMBLING MONSTERS OF DESTRUCTION ROAM THE EARTH CLEARING PATHS

GIVING BIRTH TO SEPARATION, NEUTRALITY EXISTS

LIKE THE CANVAS OF AN ARTIST BEFORE PAINTING A MASTERPIECE

CHANGING THE VOID WITH ABSTRACT EXPRESSION

ONLY IN THE SAME MIND CAN YOU UNDERSTAND

MOTHER CRIES, AS FATHER FIGHTS THE TEARS OF AN EMPTY BARREL

HEARTBROKEN AND UNFOCUSED, IT GOES DEEPER

LET US PRAY, NOT JUST FOR ONE

BUT LET US PRAY FOR ALL HUMANITY

THE SPIRIT OF JOY, AND LAUGHTER

SO MANY MORE TO GAIN

TO WATCH MY SEED GROW

I LOVE YOU CHILD, AND SAY WITH TRUTH

NO EQUALIZER CAN DO ITS WORSE

FOR WHERE YOU GO, I GO

SCREAMED OPENING OF LIFE HAS PAVED YOUR WAY

YOUR ARRIVAL  INDIFFERENT

THE VERY PART I GIVE MY SOUL

THE PART TO TEST MY SPIRIT

KNOW THAT, YOU ARE MY LIFE

AND KNOW THIS WELL

YOU ARE ME, AS I AM YOU

A UNION OF SPIRIT

BLINDING BEAUTY,CAN I TOUCH YOU

YOUR VERY SMOOTHNESS TELLS YOUR LIFE

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

ROADS TRODDEN HAVE WORN AWAY

YOUR ICY STARE MISLEADS

I WILL NOT BE FOOLED

I LOVE AND ENVY YOU

PERCHED HIGH LIKE ROYALTY

AND FOR THIS , I SHALL RETURN

COME RAIN OR WARM WEATHER

KNOWING YOU ARE HERE

WAITING
