Gone

Within my gaze grounds are only one degree whiter and colder than the horizon, complementing each other through Winter Queen's breath touching true. Warmth is long gone and a swirling spree in-between prances to and fro on a nival descent augmenting the morn's triumph glistening untouched. And I... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello!

My recuperation continues in this strangely warm, spring-like but welcoming newborn year. (average temps. for this area in December and January are or were? teens to twenties for highs, often sub zero for nighttime lows. The last couple of weeks have seen highs in the 60's, pale blue skies and... Sign in to see full entry.

Once upon an Outing

Ribbons of light flutter through a sere backdrop and braid a vision into my sight of the day's hope shining across night's thrill of the unknown. Paused at an intersection, I watch a raven land atop a traffic signal swaying with the wind. The bird sings sweetly her applause for the bond between... Sign in to see full entry.

The Peaceful Wars (Veterans Recalled - a re-post re-worked)

Freedom Isn't Free......it was and is: Marching, chanting lockstep the solidarity to trample injustice and sing the poetry of liberties united as one rhythm of humanity minorities and the majority alike. Too-young, tender beings sent to labor for pennies in unsafe factories where accidents and death... Sign in to see full entry.

Preamble to a Collection - Autumn's Light (edited re-post)

*(drinking the) Blue Moon (sequel) Leaves fly with an imprint of the circle painted bold, as crimson, amber, blush, gold re-visit every seasonal rim. Today is a height rent wide open to reveal joyful sapphires of heaven's spire returning the hour joy met our waiting limbs. *Last Rush (Feeding)... Sign in to see full entry.

The History of Clouds, One (a mystery?)

A frozen world is seeded, soon for me and you, t'will be newly awash in colorless beauty cloaking hill and vale, evergreen and bare bone thrall.

Amazing how prophetic a picture can be...

My Grandma and her sisters posing on their Daddy's other pride and joy: From left to right - Margaret and Doris, the prim, proper ones, stay-at-home ladies, married to the same men forever, hardly any other relationships before their marriages.

Reservation - Bones and Stones Endless

They stay on homelands stolen, said to be "held in trust" bitterly betrayed, labors used and abused, they stay... in poverty and intolerance for the passion of their ancestors shall never leave. Struggling to survive in the white man's corporate nightmare, bravery and endurance flower amongst the... Sign in to see full entry.

Curve

In this sphere, sowing is done, now comes again the waning sun smiling farther away than the day before as the hour of reaping earth's lore blossoms unto fullness. Forms not human, alive (bird, farm animals, machine and word) join hands and the toil of we, the fellow hungry passions who tread the... Sign in to see full entry.
