Busy thoughts wander / searching to quiet my mind / waiting for the moon
Vibrant blue sky ~ sun at a distance ~ refreshing cool air ~ dancing trees sway ~ lulling me to sleep
Winds soft touch / like an afternoon kiss / gently passing
Caught in the spirit / on this eve of Christmas day / my soul is soaring
Peaceful visions ~ heart bursting with love ~ the world is aglow ~ in kindness ~ and the human spirit
Euphoric / love has that power / I’ma drink it in
Deep echoes / voices from the past / guiding us straight
A new plague is here / it attacks your heart with peace / very contagious
The lone red leaf ~ grasping to the branch ~ pulled by the wind ~ fighting to survive ~ a teacher of belief
The falling water / collecting in pools of blue / feeding the dry earth
In a haze ~ a deer walked out of the mist ~ tired of fear ~ searching for peace ~ desperate for salvation
Breathing sounds ~ of soft winds ~ while gray clouds float ~ thunder echoes ~ and rain waits to fall
The fog dissipates / into a pink morning sky / of beauty and warmth
A hand in peace ~ held out for love ~ giving hope ~ in a changing world ~ of revolution
Rejoicing kindness / that...
The Perception of a Bad Day
Jack’s eyes were becoming blurry as he raced down the highway on his way to nowhere in particular. Blurry with tears – tears of hatred, remorse, and betrayal. He had to get away, get away from the illusion of life. He was fleeing the false reality of happiness, love, peace, and everything else that was supposed to make life worth living – lies – tears – so many tears.
He swerved towards the...
Turning off shadows / soul basking in the bright light / embracing kindness

Into the woods
Beautiful sounds resonate
Rain through trees
Laughing squirrels
Mischievous frogs – croak
WHILE
Operatic birds rejoice to the sun.
Sweetest cold ~ consumes / air fresh ~ feeding my new lungs / in winters party
Goodnight darkness ~ sleep / the glow of life awakens / beauty on its lips

At a loss
When the wind takes the words
And throws them to the world ~
Smashes them into reality
And let’s them rain down upon me
In the hands of God / angels sit ~ wings reaching out / and hearts wide open
Elk fork damaged stream / the once mighty river falls / to the damning sun
Where the mountain rests / there is a half full river / where optimists swim
The silly monkey / covered his eyes when he saw / the moon strike the barn
Sometimes we cause pain / to the ones we love the most / without realizing
I have lost my faith / a denouncement of brethren / but never my God
The Visitor
The wind was blowing the leaves around the backyard, and the stray kitten was chasing them like I’ve seen her chase and devour so many bugs. The sky was overcast and the clouds looked like they were full of rain ready to unleash fury onto the earth.
I stood there trying to stay warm. I smoked my cigarette wondering if the nicotine was so important I was willing to freeze for it. It wasn’t long...
Haikus
The healing water / that springs from the grand mountain / lives to speak of truth
The day will soon come / when evil hides in fear from / all the good on earth
The weary day / brought back to life / by splashing puddles
Ancient words and thoughts / forced from the lips of the young / with empty knowledge
Narrow minded souls / who ignore the suffering / must find compassion
Endless stream of...
