Clear mind, sound and soul,
In sanity’s calm embrace,
balance found within
mediating to find peace
deep breath in and deep breath out.
Finding Balance

Under the Moonlight
Beneath the moonlight
Swaying to their own sweet tune.
Love is in the air.
All they see is each other.
Tonight, they’ll have no worries.
Dusk Dancers
Forms dance in the dusk
Veils of mystery and peace
Silent stories told
Solely by shared movement
Embracing deepening night.

Voices of the past
Rippling through the canyon walls

Nothing can damn their current
Flooding out in a torrent…

Stony Brook
Winding through the stones
Gentle secrets softly flow
Life’s pulse in each drop
Crisp icy waters flow by
Carrying some fallen leaves…

Wide fields kiss the sky
Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

Forceful impact’s sound
Resonating through the air
Strength and power shown
Reeling back from the hard blow
Falling on cold hard asphalt…

Ecstasy revealed
Heart’s delight unleashed in joy

That their light never goes out…

Shadows of Fear
Fear of judgment lingers,
Tightly grasping what we know.
Letting go is hard,
Leaves no space for us to grow,
In shadows, dreams remain low.
Ethereal Harmony
Universal source
Where everything can exist
All at the same time.
Stars twinkle in the night sky,
Dreams dance on the soft, warm breeze.

Life is Too Real
Action takes the stage
Drama unfolding in life
Stories coming alive
Fantasy is all too real
And realities, unreal…

Touring Pasts
Freezing time’s embrace
Seizing moments in the mind
Preserving memories
Revisiting moments, gone
Rebuilding all the lost ones…

Cognac
Amber liquid swirls,
rich aroma, smooth and warm,
cognac in my glass
want to chase away the thoughts
instead placing the glass down.
