Staring at an unfamiliar image in a mirror, she no longer recognized her reflection. Deep wrinkles creating a widespread and complex map of time. Once journeyed heartrending pathways creating deep etches in her skin like an unearthed and yet once known cavern, which yearned for discovery, love, and peace. Her diminishing and twisted leathered skin … Continue reading Wedding Day

Fortress
The ancient oak spread devotedly Her massive and protective arms Just above the slow-moving, water blue. For more than a millenium she had watchfully And eagerly provided a safe shelter for All of nature’s friends she loved and knew. Rough was her etched bark and strong knots Which lived intricately woven within The network of … Continue reading Fortress
Changes in the South
Today my heart is glad and filled with hopeful song, Brown leaves already falling to the grassy ground, A hurricane is brewing off the coast; it won't be long. Baby birds left the nest, and quiet is that lonely spot, Climbing vines are turning colors on the screen porch, The tiny tree frogs have gone … Continue reading Changes in the South
Seen From Heaven – A Tear Fell
Inaudibly the brown, white and playful striped Tapir now gathered his small herd into a warming pond. Examining the smoke as it was nudging quicker, in the ever toxic air which was visible with the dawn. Lush no more it's trees or meadows in the low land, Our Father now saw the inferno growing swiftly … Continue reading Seen From Heaven – A Tear Fell

Tranquil was the pond that lay before me, no fluctuation in her tacit flow, Splendor lay within her serene existence as I tried to relish her view, What life might be flourishing, or singing, underneath her cover blue? Tall ornamental … Continue reading CALMNESS
August
Curious was the cool breeze and subdued temperatures of the morning, No steam on windows within the house locking out my view of life, Deer tasted sweet grass, while squirrels climbed vigilantly up the post, To steal seed placed there for the multitude of birds visiting to partake. Was fall flirtatiously knocking at nature's door … Continue reading August
Up-Side-Down World
Confusion, the perplexing reality which made no sense to me, Living trapped within its walls was not the place for youth to be. Vomiting, drinking, peeing in the closet, on shoes, my only pair, My mom running through the neighborhood naked in the night, News in the paper, now at school, where judging eyes would … Continue reading Up-Side-Down World

Fairy Circles Returneth
(This is Part 2 of the Fairy Circle poems - for Part 1, please click here) A splendid surprise hiding behind our tomato bush yesterday morn, Little eyes peering through half-eaten leaves was the first sign, Then a distant yet distinct sound of a tiny, bellowing, playful horn.
