frozen park Sunday
snowy men waving away
moose eating carrots

wings beating faster
stealthily hoverIng still
effortless motion

silent ocean swells
emotion turns to motion
tsunami of tears

her stalking silent
prepping her reapers to sow
patiently preying

walking this rocky path
salvation the destination
i pray this cobble etched
in the word I do profess
with walls so adorned
when I glance to the heavens
looking for inspiration
pray I see you looking back

this final north wind
chilling our early spring hopes
ripples thawed water

panic for profit
news breaking with flashing lights
pandemic special

whirlwinds whipping by
disrupting tranquility
summer peace recess

into the abyss
without such trepidation
G-d is not unknown

puffing red dragon
his grand deception seen through
eagles eat lizards

in that odd moment
when I felt we've met before
I deja viewed you

words like light absorbed
teachings as air so inhaled
sharing his story

cool water springs forth
swelling streams eternal run
quenching my new thirst

morning peaks dusted
confirming winter descends
falls final color

universal turn
ultimate destination
destinies collide

most rich tapestry
woven with delicate hands
from one solid strand

watching such weaving
my mind racing with desire
what yet to be seen

now almost complete
final touches yet applied
looking at myself

death to central banks
no real representation
no more taxation

your life without care
those reeling from this feeling
see into your heart

tis patience testing
watching succulence collect
ever sweet reward

once young features aged
weathered under beating rays
down rivers dried bed

could sense it coming
more knowing then just feeling
howling winds begin

arriving by twos
trumpets herald their return
nature's endless love

people who tailgate
don't like to be

she's that whisper of something real
in this world of make believe
she's that flash of golden brilliance
in darkness surrounding me
she's that feeling you fear to lose
inside such a desolate space
she's the rock my beating heart rests
steady in this unstable place

only giants thrive
leaving scraps on forest floors
in peaceful struggle

blissful the abyss
such depth your beauty abounds
pulling me under

pink neon flashing
cheap shots served with ice cold truths
fresh coffee served hot

standing all alone
atop fathers broad shoulders
reaching for mother
one final loving embrace
comfortIng your weary boy

fanning wild eyed flames
scorching cells in blinding heat
burning common sense
leaving morons smoldering
in ashes of their vile hate

your greens deep
your blue much deeper
reddened eyes
see the yellow sun
in your golden hair

I was twenty five
destiny’s comet shot by
so I hitched a ride

it's all illusion
great kabuki theater
get your jiffy pop
others screaming falling sky
as the plot twist turns the knife

lives go shooting by
their tales never far behind
till none remember

pain never ending
riding consequences train
rain rusting my tracks

curtains fall around
as her hair covers my eyes
light dances inside

broken down
seized rusty hinges
decaying
behind brown stained glass
humanity cries

this is suicide
destroying ourselves within
lighting your own pyre

in summer meadows
among bountiful new life
beetles still rattle

lifetime of journey
living galaxies apart
your star guiding me

wondrous spirals seen
heavens swirling galaxies
your eyes aqua green

magical river
flowing knowledge the essence
with none forced to drink
some perish with parched lips pierced
others water thirsty souls

do trees not drink up
feeding equal leaf and limb
growing stronger roots
in reaching ever higher
to the essence that feeds them

air light breath
whispers in silence
I love you

free from this cabal
evil henchmen calling *****
and justice for all

never saw the end
just kept barreling to it
those memories blurred
savor moments  my advice
as relish for later life

counting precious days
what very few still remain
squeezing lemonade

added them as told
too few in comparison
making each count

easy taking it
fragile handling required
a heart that’s given

I’m a grain of sand
his words as thundering waves
washing over me
