It's that hostile place
Where clouds storm the highest peaks
That provide peace here

I’ve heard it said often
time mends those with burned hearts
let it spread it’s healing balm

The sun stays later
warming, frozen barren ground
Prey scurry about

turning teeth, clicking
every movement counted
watching midnight pass

I extend my hand to bring you hope. Only to realize you never believed in such a notion.

picture perfect face
early morning light, shining
nature's early yawn
spying your angelic eyes
love graced mornings deep embrace

late day sun
falling away slow
summer fades

Birdwell Beach Britches
sitting dockside, toes cooling
new Petty playing

sun soaked shoulders burn
under sky high heat beating down
cane pole cork bobbing

toe heads gone platinum
summers on Lolly's creek pier
Pawley's Island Home

slowly drifts along
alone among the darkness
only to fly by

this emerald gem
highly prized, envied, and sought
how I love her shine

tides' slow rise
catch you by surprise
how time flys

as ancient blue ice retreats up the valley floor
new life sprouts between boulders she formed
quenching young life her losses helped forth

sleepy eyes open
their nightmare just beginning
with knowledge comes truth

your mesmerizing
smooth shapes shifting, light fading
your shadow in mine

pelican patrol
one by one all in a row
mullet diving low

when closing my eyes
sometimes seeing you, glimpses
praying with eyes closed

My ashes blew away long ago
On autumn winds bound south by southeast
Back home to the sawgrass swaying
Marsh hen awkwardly ascending
Now I rest in the old mans beard,
and the branch it calls home with
The wings of the morning dove
The bullfrog burps me after a meal
The sandgnats love my zesty spice
I see all this from above as a speck
On the *** of a giant albatross

youthful promises
bloom red among young bushes
summer lasting love

master weave
spinners killer side
beauty hides

Heard that obscure song
about rooms with shadows, dancing
But theres no light here

water receding
watching fiddlers do their chores
squirrels in summer

thunder's low rumble
lightning arches overhead
cooler breezes blowing in
creatures quicken their paces
scurrying towards shelter

woke up to the rain
reached for my book in relief
not missing a thing

meadow of flowers
mid day sun rays warm our skin
glistening with sweat

I used to slink about
Now I flutter in flight
tranformer

what's your heart saying
listen closely, it's true
your head will fool you

All those silly young dad fears
Bouncing boy came in swingin’, us cheerin’
My life brighter for all these years
first day of work, boy to man
Excuse my tears

signs for lines
segregated lives
genocide

Turn lightening off
from lowly human's switching
Yet the current stays
