Evening gathers to call
Flocks to watering hole
And to glimmers of fish
In the sparkling bowl.
Palm to palm
Whispers calm,
As the pond
Drained but bright
Refracts sun’s glinting light
From silvery fins
‘Til a good night.

Gather ’round the rocks
As daylight lingers
Onto land,
And sunlight’s fingers
Tickle children
In windowed shade
And sun.
Gather ’round the City’s park
To frolic
As Spring comes,
And as the promise
Of green growth
Comes closer
Dawn by dawn.
(While today is the Spring Equinox, the photo itself is more promise than reality … for the trees in Central Park are yet to bud and green, but soon they will … and so the photo holds a sight near to be seen …)

There she stands,
Belongs,
Enlivened
By the land
That mountains birthed,
And the knowledge
Of the power
That she holds
Through Mother Earth.

Would you sell your soul
To sorrow?
Would you reap
Hate’s awful gain?
Would you let go of
Tomorrow
So false power
Rise again?
Will your heart see
All humanity?
What will you allow,
Sustain?
Will your soles
Feed earth
Or hollow
Out it’s wealth
To drain?
Will you leave
Your soul abandoned?
Will you let your spirit
Die?
Or will you hold on
To the morrow
In a world
For you
And I?

Cherish every moment
Left
Of light as
Suns will set.
Hold on to the
Deep rewards
Of daylight breathed
Through soul,
And saved.

I will go to the seashore
Where the waves touch the sky.
I will go to the seashore
To kiss the day fond goodbye.
I will go to the seashore
Where the boats come on home,
And the children still play,
And the sun’s last rays roam,
And my soul sings with the surf
Where it has always belonged.

Norway fjord
Smooth as glass
Flowing cold
Through mountains’ pass.

Layer by layer
They go back
In time,
Descending through eras
They can carefully
Climb.
What whispers
What stories
Does the wadi
Impart?
Will their souls see
The footprints
These rocks know
By heart?

Fly by
The moon
And kiss a new star
Goodnight.
Fly by
The sun
And let its light touch
Your mind.
Fly by
In play
To draw a blue skies
Outlined.
Fly high
Today
And know I’m not far
Behind.

In the game of
Standing out from
The crowd,
There is little more distinct
Than the
Distinctly
Indistinct.
