As the storm rolled in
And rain took hold,
Mountains cowered
Under fog.
Note: The above photos were taken within minutes of each other last August in Thailand, as I took an afternoon walk on the beach and a fast-moving tropical storm sped in and essentially cloaked the mountains.

We’re no ducks but still wish
To get
In a row.
There is no law against it.
So there,
Now you know.

I am worn,
But not weary.
I’ve weathered many
A winter,
Warmed multiple
Frozen hands,
Filled long lines
Of empty
Stomachs
With stews and soups of
All kinds.
I’ve seen good times
And not so,
Heard voices
Soft
And too loud.
I’ve dried the wet
Off of feet,
The tears off
Of cheeks,
Eased the sorrow of
Broken hearts.
I am worn,
But not weary.
Grab a spoon,
Find a bowl,
And take a seat
By my side.

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.

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

Welcome, guests, into
Our midst.
Join right in, you’ll
Get the gist.
We’ll dance you
Through our jungle greens,
‘Twixt crops in fields,
Across ravines.
We’ll sing and chant
And strike the ground,
With feet and poles
And hearts and sound.
Welcome, guests, into
Our midst.
Where mists among
The mountains
Roam,
And culture bursts
In vibrant
Song.
Dedicated to the amazing villages in Papua New Guinea, who came out in their young and old and in betweens, to dance heartwarming welcomes to my nephew and his friends who stayed as guests in their midst.

Won’t hold back
An all out bloom,
Fully pinked
By soul’s perfume.

What do you see
When you look, but
Do not
Actually
See me?
Is it the shadow
Of what you believe
You ought to
See,
Or the reflected
Image
Of what you wish
You could
Be,
Or what you think
I must be
In order
To be visible
Enough
To be verified
As me?

Tilt the world.
Let the ocean,
Pour
Itself
Into your heart
In molten
Light.

Old slate well licked by lichen
And marbled
With moss,
Recalls clouds swirling
High
To kiss sky
With their smoke.
Jagged edges
Of years spent in
Rain, sun
And wind,
Hold with pride
To a chimney
That time hasn’t
Yet thinned.
