you stole paradise
crushing  dreamers golden view
lusting after more

sunset symphony
synchronized cicadas sing
soothing serenades

dwell on hate
you will be hateful
dwell on love....

the sad truth remains
no intelligent life here
beam us up, scotty

life changes
dawdles to suddeness
reality

never ending gray
draping off our mountain view
what surprise awaits

earthly thunder sounds
winter silence melts away
banging mountain drums

among brown wet earth
reaching towards blue heavens
greens rapid return

land of renewal
lost histories melt away
in winters breakup

richly
lives
woven

storm clouds
gather round
listen

that's what players do
players play
are you being played

autumn leaves
birch trees
cold

floating in my canoe
on this quiet flowing stream
screaming past go jetboats
racing to see the end
my attention goes back
to that odd looking creature
who slapped his flat tail
as if to simply say hello
I continued to watch
a little time longer
as the sun slowly set
off in the distance
a bullfrog asked
how do?

tempest in full blow
her foul temper being shown
heaped in fallen snow
