  • rhythm of wood

    I’ve been to that tree
    twisted in the winds of time
    limbs held to the sky
    for Mark

    I have forgotten more than I have ever known
    The rhythm of a life like the rhythm of breathing
    The rhythm of steps upon a path trodden by others
    Mysteries and experiments in living
    Each day a new adventure
    And another day of mystery living out
    A history made in the rhythm of breathe and steps and life
    Assured that everything in life deserves a grateful look *

    Warmth of old wood
    Light of Spring
    Sun
    Breathe of wind off the ocean
    O’er the short plain and verdant hills
    Wind of mystery
    Wind that blows through the rhythms of life
    Sun that shines on all
    Sun that shines this way on only one
    One who is lonely
    One who is hopeful
    One who wonders at the mysterious questions of being
    One who feels the rhythm of breathe and steps and life

    Blessed by wood from long dead trees
    Blessed to know of one who wondered and experimented
    Blessed to see the terraces built to preserve the soil of the earth
    Blessed in each breathe
    Blessed in each step
    And stepping on further as the sun shines on
    Assured that everything in life deserves a grateful look *

    Orion running
    Perpetually as light
    In the morning sky

    Rain drops from the sky
    Air refreshed by water
    Cleansing inhaling

    Dandelion blossom
    We want green spring garden plant
    Flower leaf dawning

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>12/25/07

    Though rust falls in the
    Autumn summer will journey
    Through morning bloom

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>12/25/07

    Happy people dream
    Shiver beneath winter moon
    Snow soon freezes ice

    Tulip stuck in time
    Its potential blossom gone
    Unseen forever

    Water on a shore
    Ice in solid formula
    Amorphously cold

    A hovering kite
    Attentive to the motion
    Field mouse lingering

    Orion arise
    Beloved in the night skies
    Running running on

    Little lonely
    Thought of brilliant night sky
    Alone in star light

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>01/16/08

    Autumn grasses yellow
    Wander beneath rusted cloud
    Rising evening moon

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>01/19/08

    Blue sky the trees say
    The wind resting is breathing
    God less manifest

    The breathe of God
    Flows through creation as wind
    Flowing over all

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>01/30/08 9:00 a.m.

    Make me smile before
    The bloom of summer morning
    Full from sun journey

    An angel of stone
    Sits praying in the night rain
    Blessings on flowers

    Standing by a creek
    Sound blends with nighttime musing
    Cares flow to the sea

    Baby ducks snoring
    Under a bridge in the fog
    Tiny signs of spring

    Egrets flying together
    beautiful sky now

    Summer blazing in
    Heat searing on the faint wind
    While spring’s blossoms wilt

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>05/15/08

    Smooth paddles of light
    Cause ripples in time and space
    Shadows linger on

    Cicada in the
    Palo Verde mimicking
    Arid summer heat
    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>06/23/08
    Pungent smell of smoke
    lingering from lightening
    drift of summer fire

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><> 6/23/08

    Can’t hear that teardrop
    For all we know it’s just a
    Ripple on a stream.

    A caterpillar
    Amongst the green tomatoes
    Takes an early share

    Moths migrating in
    The early morning sunlight
    Transient nature

    The fog enshrouds the light
    Mists envelope days passing
    Time moves over love

    All I get from you
    A place for me in your heart
    Where I want to be

    Time moves over love
    Mists of our time in this light
    This morning’s true gift

    Sheep sleeping in fog
    Fields of mist veil their slumber
    What things do they count?

    Crisp fall air blowing
    Light shining in lovely trees
    It is great alive

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><>11/11/08

    As the sun it shone
    Upon the vines grapes all gone
    Shadows left alone

    Young hawks shrill calling
    Brighten a sunny spring day
    Like children who smile

    Pigeon flying by
    There is a dream like quality
    Wake me in the air.

    Pigeons Fly Low

    The wind through the pines
    And the cottonwood snow
    Warmth of Tahoe sun.
