Revolting and repulsive
words champagne sippers prefer
as he digs for food

morning hue
shining silver dew
always new

White feathers entwined
The universal dance ensued
Spring is love just new

life's a cheeseburger
all the really juicy stuff
happens in between

Reaching up then downward
Toward earth the angle oak arm
Extends a helping hand

when wind blows
feel something coming
breath in change

slowly dawn fades
misty valley floors appear
the morning dove calls

Contentment
In the arms contracting my breath
bating, waiting for the first of the morning light

Life simply bursts to life overnight
here in the land of the midnight sun
knowing it has no time to waste
as the first frost is never far off

you hit me so hard
never really been the same
sledgehammer affair
mindlessly loving you since
ignorance is bliss, thank you

four toe heads all tan
launching lures and cannonballs
salts healing skinned shins

she brings me such joy
helps lifts the dark clouds and drives
stella’s blues away

snow slowly melts
falls this time faster
then ever did before

                    life is always fleeting
                    counted days decreasing

take time to sip
from her swollen rivers
now in springtime flow

         along tides now rushing past
         enrich your soul in her bounty

life's quiet moments
the ones between your sips
those worth cherishing

can come in rushing tides
when you least expect such peace
on the currents of melting snow

Some just, well, must obsess
over the issues from the past
Combing over details to the last
Wishing things had been different
If they had done this with more intent
Did that this way not that, hell bent
Opening and closing this drama, trying
Again and again, crying and dying again
Every single time and again, Time better spent
On what to learn and apply Is what’s meant
Past proves present unless you love malcontent
Let the  past go. It’s so simple yet
Not many can do it takes practice
Forgiveness, redemption, commitment

whispers with kisses
heating cool morning wishes
early sun rises

They return in pairs
Great white gloves fluttering in
Nature’s horn section

do tides even care
which direction it sweeps in
rising up again
never to be wrong, I go
soothing warm waters, I trust

my dreams never died
instead they drifted on by
that cloud has two eyes

light appears
dark secrets laid bare
awakened

This ever subtle breeze
just felt here, on it's way there
will grow to a storm

two legs but four wheels
telling people this and that
Mother hasn't changed

Did you see that star
it gave a nod, threw a wink
I wonder how far

with colors fading
everything shading gray
look out stained windows

Freedom
Roadless travel to
Nameless places on
Featureless maps
Leaving your troubles
Behind and with
Nothing laying in front
