Like Him - His Offspring

After I matured and settled down Seems each path I became witness to Reminded me of you And your boots Those piddling, puddle jumping, work boots that considered each step with a certain sort of conventional strut And how your twinkling eyes lit up the nights And the moon that reflected as a glass...

Animated Alfresco

A sketch strained from the morning And that sunshine yet remains The fruit ripens and as personal effects I blend and change shapes to fashion an end result But the blending and the changing never end I work with the shapes and shift them til light’s bend Much like paint of the day and its memento...

First Light Spins and Circles a Flower

* Spur of Passion by C E Goulden Early light and imagination stretches, soft and fulfilling While, sister moonlight ebbs to fade Within shade a capture of loveliness hovers nearer In stillness and quiet there’s a flush It remains on the vista A southern valley tenderly reaches to the sky And faint,...

For Always –

Abridgment: The Owl and the Butterfly Opening to swallows of air and I begin praise so as to lengthen a beginning of an end As the blaze of summer brings down drops drops of golden glitter An enlightened space where nothing but the weight of burnished haze stays Where, I find a mass of figs that...

Bolt from the blue

*chalk sketch by CEG 1994 Blue journal with messages and symbols and marks One page bears a portrait and memory of Dolls Add flash of memory to sketch and intimate detail There unfurled patterns and type and stuffing with specialty burst forth with a bolt Yes, wide open, this reclaimed history and...

That Shining Light

She feels from the Heart From an earthen pedestal of straw, clay and gravel those subtle crumbles and passing of forest’s green cries out Her heart wandered and breathed in night’s air She muses from the Heart While sprightly moth decorates the sultry night This contented lone soul hums an easy,...

Rally round on Garden’s Pastoral Hymn

June and hazy amount of steam lingers While kibbutz of boon dilly-dallies nearby Muddle and tangle of vines with speckled muddied patches All rosy with dashes and cord-like rope and tuberous chains The string of settled then, arranged comes to pause and then begins sunlight’s drift to fade For when...

Gardens Stream in Wilderness

Gardens Stream in Wilderness Here you will find gardens in wilderness Yes, wildly alongside bushy pastures that seems never-ending It is stunning; but, no dialogue of this Texas lady can settle on a narrative, in favor of this prairie I view them each day and it is as seen for the first time,...

Eclectic Effect Sorted Out

I wanted to watch the summer sun loosen her ruffles. I looked for that fleeting pattern of cloudy shapes to roll up, to crown. Our old-fashioned, sturdy red tractor droned in the warm up and the whirr and murmur could be heard into the open windows of our cottage. I felt the heat shift to masses of...

Run through Passage of Time

Gone are summers of my youth When the air of spring that brought young birds Seemed fresher and more flowery Pungent and refreshing was the new mown grass I recall lively - reviving, youthful socials, celebrations Gone are summers of my youth I see the figs will begin to ripen And my dwelling and...
