Back and Forth

Reading it forwards
Our life ages gracefully.
Can we go backwards?

Morning Delights

I love the mists
Drifting through
Fir boughs, stretched
Cotton-like by green
Needle fingers,
Every second
Changing shape,
Gray clouds of
Early morning
Shadowy contrasts
Blending variations
Of rich, deep greens
Against the icy
Gray-blue sky

The Potential of Weeds

Perhaps the weeds
Are in their season
And with loving care
Will sprout flowers
Too beautiful to believe
As they’re rooted in
The soil of your
Soul

Gulfs and Such

Upon the edge I sit,
Staring across
A gulf of white,
Brutal, bitter, cold
Sings it’s song
Of death and delight.
And I know, within
My being’s depths
That the path across
Is life, vigorous and true,
Fully, finally alive.

Rain

Upon my hands flow,
Dust of dreams and winter’s touch,
Autumn’s rain cleanses.  
 

Strength without Love

Strength without love
The deepest failure, sadness
Abounds; emptiness

Thoughts on Relationships

One key goal for us,
Remove the drainers of joy,
And replace with love.
