Rail Road

Where the rail

Meets the road

And the gravel

Kisses tracks,

Linger not

At the cross-point.

For the trains

Will chug on

And engines run

Because they can.

Which Way

Which way does this road wind?

Where to goes the crack?

Do the rocks that line the path

Hold answers

Or hold back?

Which Way Next?

Which way next?

He requested,

Will it be up

Or down?

Are we headed

To Nature

Or perhaps

Sutherland?

Will we go

With the horses

On the bridle path left,

Or take the loop

With the birders

And turn right

At the cleft?

On The Stair Way

Take your time

As you climb.

Hold the rail.

Breathe in. Exhale.

On the stair way

Of life

Steps of joy

Steps of strife.

Both the rise

And descent

Are energies

Quite well spent,

As long as your heart

Can extend

To see a tad

‘Round the bend.

Berry Byway

Bravely walk the briar byways

Brushed to either side by burrs

Each step bordered by the brambles

That await the birth of berries

And bar the fruit from brazen strays.

Path to Light

A long way stretches forward

Past the past

Toward light,

As they walk

In the footsteps

Of those who’d been here

And passed.

Tunnel Vision

Ancient stones

Tell a story

Of feet treading from

Light

To dark,

And the tunnel

Foreboding

As history

Left

Its mark.

Way To Fly

Flight of the Gibbon, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Helmet on

Harness tight

Zip along

In a flight

As gibbons chatter

Out of sight

In the tree tops’

Stunning height.
