Little Feet

Sunrise, coffee, half asleep
Morning shuffles of little feet
Giggles caress the blessed scene
Sweet carefree childhood
Oh so brief

.............Wilderness of A Thinking Mind

Wilderness of manmade courts
Yields to those of Divine sorts
Rugged sagebrush scented thoughts
Single junipers of green
Breathing in the air so clean
Grasping immenseness, heaven brought

Freedom on a different scale
Loneliness completely fails
Enveloped within life’s true campaign
Lost, I think not
Found, more like the lot
No fences to restrain

Suddenly an anxious thought
Nature’s love’s all but bought
But we are naught but renters here
Arrogance shall be lost in time
And all shall pass, each in line
Simple blind men I fear

Wilderness of a Divine sort
Created by His heavenly court
Falling curiously in line
Rugged sagebrush scented thoughts
Grasping immenseness, heaven brought
Wilderness of a thinking mind

..........The Calm and the Storm...........

Roaring silence of sage wafted scenes
Anxious stillness grasps at all
Alpine firs, still with fright
Mountain slopes await their fate

Sunbeams crack through angry clouds
Picking spots to be fluoresced
Portents of chaotic scenes
Hinting what will be

The firs now sway from nature's breath
Helpless in her arms
Her passion rising with Her cries
Convulsive twists of ardent strength
Her rapture, no longer leashed

.............One of Four....................

Dark clouds bleeding shards of white
Each one different, each alike
There is no sky, not in sight
One of four, with her own rights


Silent, bleached, crystalline flakes
Raindrops morph through flowing chutes
Their muffled words not meant to hear
Frozen, drifting, whispering
Falling to their journey's end


Covering all
Coveting all
Changing all
Reminding all
Altering all
Enveloping all
Her omnipotence dictates all

Nurturing streams and earthly needs
Silence as she tends her deeds
Awakening slaps of deadly cold
Stunning beauty to behold
Gripping life, embracing death
Natural selection on her breath

Seeking continuance, some succumb
Survival tenuous in life's best run
A reminder of how weak we are
A reminder of just who we are

Sunlight breaks, her time is gone
The perpetual continues on

>>>>>>>>>>>>The Path

Strange days of metamorphosis

Makeup a life as this

Twists, turns

Loves, burns

Sunlit walks, darkened alleys

Beckoning meadows, foreboding valleys

Behold the forest of rocky crags

Mind declination in a sea of rags

Rolling hills of converging roads

Confusion adding to the load

Happiness at feeling good

Wondering if you should

Cognizance of the worlds pain

Knowing that to survive is to gain

Alive

The short and rugged road

Wisdom paves to ease the load

Birth, evolution, adaptation, death

A world of numbered breaths

Look back before it goes

The seeds you've sown are in which rows?

A Chapter




It's all good, that is, today

Strength, health, awareness, came one day

A long blurry road to happiness

One step away from hopelessness

Hurt, pain, misery, loneliness

The world that's given to the spiritless

Lost souls escape reality

One step away from finality

Keep the past green, scarred memories

Souls fed with spirituality

Scar tissue, reminding wounds

Butterfly now, dissolved cocoon

American Holocaust

Broken shards of darkened gloom

Lives that were, born to doom

First Native thoughts of fleeting worlds

Break forth beneath clouded pearls

Manifest destiny

The greed of man truthfully

Death in morning's biting frost

An American holocaust
