Forest is my temple
her limbs protect from harm
leaves quietly soothing
ancient whispers work a charm
as I’m transformed to love
in Mother Earth I am bound
privy to her wisdom
and eternally avowed.

Carefree Scent
Wood fire smoke
singes the air
with a carefree scent
I love to wear
these burning memories
of camping days
respecting Mother Earth
in her ancient ways.

Inscribed In The Rubble
You search for words
inscribed in the rubble
of scattered syllables
piecing together
your broken sentences.

Enduring Darkness
Myriad of flashing diamonds
twinkle in the eye
rapture of stars suspended
in a crystal encrusted sky
of enduring darkness.

Mystery Within
Life cycle etched
in a perpetual sphere
of mystery within
a cosmic tier
as the infinite circle
of natural law
suffuses the Universe
with enlightening awe
all senses resonate
with vibrations unseen
and our minds meditate
on positive beliefs.

Clinging Branches
A secret place
the forest holds
stolen moments
of memories unfold
in my teepee I sit
fully immersed
beneath clinging branches
as nature conversed.
