The last remains of winter still grasped the edge
of spring like dangling off the edge of a cliff,

desperate for any love

The morning comes calling
Rise and shine
Moon has retired
Sun comes out glowing
Crimson red blush
Across the ****** sky
Paradise on Earth
Kissed passionately
By the horizon
Verdant valley
Shall wake up soon
Ready for morning visitor
Rays of hope
Shall cradle the soul

Simplified beauty of evening sky glow
A wisp upon willow branch wings
Pine needle longings of echoing choirs
Nature in harmony sings

Vast silhouettes the horizon at play
Carving a smile on the sky
Nighttime arrives with a breath of breeze
Reflections serene to the eye

Rest upon moonbeams which capture your heart
Dream of the stars up above
Here I shall hold you as comets rejoice
*Lost in our wonderful love
Sleep well beautiful.

Genesis 26:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have "dominion" over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing, that creeps upon the earth."

Question: Does this apply to cats?
(cats let us think we do(have dominion), but we don't, really!)

Reflections on the water
Skies above are blue
Flowers will be blooming
Spring is overdue

Winter it may linger
But soon your eyes will see
Nature will bring warmer days
*To run through happily
Thank you for reading

Oh Allyn what
a state we're in.
how every drip and
gush is owed you.
eddies rushing,
overflowed
with water new,
are carving paths
through, yearning
just to wildly run
the banks as you do.
rolling boulders,
sounding like a
sunken drum too,
pounding down
by roiling fathoms,
all as one you wait
for none, and on
forever you
continue.
From the archives. Posted tonight as it is wild and wet outside just like it was back when the Allyn flooded big time. The formidable power of moving water.

Some say
she is lost to writing poems
snippets, little vignettes of beauty
so much nature inspired, obsessed
with green, botany driven desires
forever in skies, blue, or black with stars
meteor showers, falling, melting
like the liquid silver, red sea of mars
crashing waves, her days
tossed, tumbled, stumbling onto poetry
there is no fault, in words
no shame to be made
would be a sorrowful price to pay
she is writing to find
some truths, a sleuth, a seeker
of going within, without doubt
writing to find herself
most days searching out signs of life
to feel what it would be like, to be
in trees, in leaves, to sleep in green towers
of garden lily bowers
to finally dream in lucid colors, surreal
climbing invisible ladders
in orchards of apple blossom Springs
to sing, sing, sing
Silver shafts of light
Pierce the tall and ancient grove
picking out colors
Rich greens, russets, silver greys
An elk struts through, rack held high
Tanks
By the end of winter
hind the canopy of leaves
they build a chaotic nest.

She sits meditative
he stands watchful
and once only my eyes could intrude
four bluish white nuggets.

When in the first winds of summer
dance the mango buds
small wings would ache
not to fly beyond mother's love.

But she knows no time to waste
so they too on the next winter
gather twigs for a nest.
dreams long lost
swirl around me

in the shade of Arjuna
winds sing a lullaby.

they never die
bide their time
in the cave of eye
neath layer of rhyme

don't the rustles fall silent
yet canopy of new leaves
grow above

crave the same firmament
and away from old griefs
seek new love?


in the winds' murmur
i would never touch them
the seemingly lost dreams

but quietly in the hopes' harbor
rekindle their flickering flame

and let flow in endless streams.
i'm struggling to come back, falling in love more with the drift.

When the wooden door leads a little,
To a force is put
In the erst of the body fleece wells,  
Sweet sweating as the dew is deposited

The clamor of the known birds,
Uttering,
Be filled,
North wind changes direction,
Comes through my southern window

When harmonic air,
Passed over the yellow paddy fields,
Farmers perches hope's aroma
Into the hearts  

At the mid of the noon,
Cowboys keep exhaustion on flute
Swelling of the new message,
Leaves
Flowers
Fruits

After a Long waiting,
Pied crested Cuckoo singing
Mating songs
The peacock repeatedly whispering peahen

My beloved,
Your one "April" desires
bought us,
Cuddly child as the light purple rose

And they say you
Sing your song of arrival
O' April O' come!
Once Again!

Show Your Cyclone form
Engross your soul
Bring the rain,
Chill the Nature
Add to birth New Child for the unscathed time
