The river sings
its ancestral song
with a flirtatious sparkle
as it bubbles along
in a dance with sunshine
and shadows in tune
I avidly eavesdrop
on this secret commune.

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

Rotation Of Light
As the moon swoons
and the sun glows
Mother Earth’s cycle
of breathtaking growth
and untrammelled spirits
of nature invoke
an infinite circle
essential for life
through elemental flow
and rotation of light.

Kindred Souls
Enraptured by
the weeping willow
like kindred souls
she plays
enveloped by
captivating secrets
the whispering wraith
of nature lays
a sound foundation
to gently guide
her innocent
childhood ways.

Silent Force
The subtle curve
upon life’s path
a hidden direction
an arrow marks
with silent force
pointing the way
from sterile concrete
to nature’s bouquet.

Through The Veil
With fading vigilance
an old wolf sees
through the veil of blood
he struggles to feed
his need for survival
in dire gravity bleeds
into eternal oblivion.
