Flaming Orange Autumn Trees

Flaming Orange Autumn Trees Flaming orange trees fanned out full This Indian Summer Autumn So different from last year's blah dews and damps A lingering Indian Summer and long walks Whether I always felt like it or not I experienced the full, flaming orange trees Some lasted the longest and kept...

Viva Chile'ans

Viva Chile'ans Viva Chile' Viva Miners, You sat patiently In the dark, enclosed mine When all hope was gone Tapping to the world that you were still there When it responded You Healed and amused yourselves No self pity When you have hard jobs Organized and calm Courage and cheerfulness In the dark...

Rock Strewn Trail

Rock Strewn Trail Climbing up the rock strewn trail, Seeking to reclaim any wind I used to have, Any muscle in spite of indoor exercise, Energized and mesmerized with tall green Like a jungle scene, Savoring wood smells Cooler air I have to get somewhere, The longer trail is not always enchanted...

Enchanted Deer Trail

Enchanted Deer Trail Walking through the green and earth woods On the long trail Alternating light and shade Warm with no breeze, Past the hills, To the side, there is a half grown sturdy grey buck with curved antlers Looking intently at me I look for a minute and walk on I involuntarily mention how...

Shimmering in the Wind

Shimmering in the Wind A tall light green tree with small leaves Shimmering in the wind To the side in the morning sun Against the light blue sky In the warm breeze After a dip in the cool aqua water That is rippling now, Old world beauty, then new Vast, tall vines of Kudzu A tree-line of green...

Looking Up

Looking Up, Looking Down Hard to leave the clouds On the view looking down Chaos and bedlam all around So much risk and hard work to get around Never quite sure of which path to take Ever watching, ever praying Led by the Spirits' song For so long Wanting to get somewhere For so many years...

Terrible Heights

Terrible Heights The warring, dizzed golden eagle Flying higher and higher Caught in a vortex updraft of desperation Combating with the mad oppressor Always going higher Combating harder and harder Sees the bright lights of death all the time And hasn't died Up through the whitened clouds Can almost...

The Longer Trail

The Longer Trail To avoid the young children who rave and rail I took the longer trail Still weak, I strained and breathed hard To get up the first steepest hill, Then I entered a land Enclosed in light blue and green Where my breathing was being developed And my muscles stressed All the bright...

Charmed Visit

Charmed Visit On walking the woods trail I looked up the hill to where I saw one before And to the left through the underbush, What did I see But a little family of deer, They were camoflaged in the trees and undergrowth But there they were, With the growing fawn I spotted before As a Sign for good,...
