Rumination launching
a dream shivers
with anxiety screened
in isolation he quivers
silently watching
the vacuity linger
as widespread fear
grows palpably grimmer.

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.

Ancient Willow
Ancient willow bows
her pliant limbs
surreptitiously caressed
by whispering winds…
her unquenchable wisdom
and verdurous nudge
overwhelms me with peace
and a healing touch…
behind the weeping veil
in shadow cocoons
this guardian of secrets
beneath a sacred moon.

Pushed To Extinction
On the slippery road
of contention
our demise is an
imminent prediction
visual records
the only recollection
of wildlife pushed
to extinction.
