she's aqua marine
she's mountain side alpine glow
natural beauty

hear the rain today
before the quiet falling
crashes with thunder

we'd spend hours
lines danglin' from ol' cane poles
not gettin' a bite
shoulders sun kissed and red
bobbers justa bobbin'
no worldly care to give
talking about nothin'
and everything at once
swattin' bugs
chewin' twigs
watchin' birds dip
then divin' in
to feel that salty sting
sometimes we'd fill a stringer
with granny justa grinnin'
she'd fry'em in
her cast iron skillet
hangin'
now in my kitchen

lost in reflection
locked in timeless inspection
endless perfection
my minds eye recall
such beauty enthralled

fire burning floors
out front doors
people roasting smores

that dog has a mind of his own
just the way God intended
so I love that hard headed dog
even though he chews on my phone

humans see humans
monster created divide
makes me wonder why
government feeds on victims
chaos is good business

strong our morning musk
lusting in our bearskin rug
love winter mornings

history depends
one who is wielding the pen
hopefully good wins

only five senses
trapped inside three dimensions
their mental prison

nothing assures like looking into a child’s eyes
to see your reflection as they smile
we were all born divine

lost as I was lost
crossing his straight paths again
one of I now walk

sea schooner skip
across acrid aqua acres
hurling headlong home

Life is a journey, best to set your own pace
As other sprint by, thinking it a race
Ask, what's the hurry? we finish in the same place.
If a look of bewilderment adorns their face?
Well, their's is a soul who's lost their way.

clouded moon hanging
above cold mountains peaking
snows steady rising

earned his pennies saved
clanking jars he threw them in
spilled for ice cream trucks

fell so silently
among the impared masses
deaf to such deceit

foot steps in the sand
washed away in rolling seas
faded memories

meadow of flowers
sweetly smells in summer breeze
as I drift asleep

that fog disappered
my clouded mind became clear
to see with no fear

before life jaded
fields of flowers mesmerized
now the roses are dead

rumbling in flight
cumbersome buzzing delight
nectar filled cargo

erased history
who you think we really are
apes swinging in trees?
not even a million years
will an ape become human

gas prices soaring
passing poor bread line walkers
their cars all broken
promises made with sly smiles
serfs betrayed by masters guile

looking for you
drifts through deeper hues
paradigm of blues

ever rushing past
an unknown destination
leaving memories

life is tragedy
between tiny bits of calm
before the next storm

when I say,
love you, as mountains love valleys
for without one there can not be the other

romance showers down
warm rain kisses river seine
lovers stroll along
