Anger
Produces
A fruitless tree.

Serenity
And this unwavering yearning for you
Resonates in my blood and my bones
As i wander;
You are here
In the air
And i breathe.
We lie
Entangled
Still as trees
Warmth between us tended and
Flowing
Naturally,
Soothing these aches and the pains of the heart and mind in this dimension.
Scars forgotten as hope permeates within and
Without.
A surge of all that was purged as a new dawn begins.
Serenity.

You Decide
A red cardinal over there,
A mesquite tree over here.
Mother Nature shows me many creations.
The smell of wet saltgrass and dirt
Fill my senses.
This oak tree I am under,
Her leaves shine as if coated in silver
As raindrops sparkle setting delight afire
Within my heart.
Nature presents herself
As is,
The individual decides whether she is beautiful or not.

Old Riverbed
Walking the old river bed,
How often has the course changed?
How often the boulders
Worn to rocks
Worn to pebbles
Worn to dust?
The river carries them on,
Shape shifting.
How often the roots of mighty trees exposed,
How often
They held on until
Nothing left for them to grasp,
They succumb to the way
And float on?
How often no man stands to witness the
Sound
Of the fall?
All
Become one
With the river
Eventually
Returning
To the sea.
Old riverbeds remain and regrow from tiny
Seed to become mighty trees
They return
In time forgetting the river.

Pine needles
Falling to the floor.
The tree quit taking water,
No longer thirsty.
The New Year is calling;
The clock strikes 12.
Auld Lange Syne
As I wipe tears from my
Eyes
For the loves lost.
(Thump goes my heart)
Grateful for every breath.
This year went by
Like all those past
And the quicker they go
The older I get.

Weather
The tree does not base
The depth of her love
For the Earth on
The weather.

Mother Earth
Mother Earth sings her song.
It is in the dirt,
The wind,
The water of the raging rivers
And the peaceful ponds.
The trees and the mountains.
The lion and the sparrow.
We think we do not know her song
But we too are her song.
We have only become distracted
For her music is in our very cells.
The blood of our ancestors.
Be still, your soul
And listen.
This song never pauses.
Sing with her once more.

October
October sky.
i see the air as the breath
leaves my lips.
tree roots set themselves
deep and steady
ready for the chill to come.
branches reaching
to reassure one another.
inside lifeforce welcomes all stages of life,
happy to greet wind and rain
snowfall and sunlight.
living to live
and bring great joy
to earth and sky.
i touch the tree and know,
i
know we are not so
different and i am thankful.

Under and Into
A chance encounter
On a
Sunny day.
Remains of a puddle on a crowded sidewalk.
I stepped to my left,
You stepped to your right
And there I was looking in your eyes.
It has been such a long time
But my heart does not recognize the clock.
Your hand brushed mine as we said hello.
And there I was
Thrown back in time.
Standing under that
Old
Oak tree so long ago.
As if we never let go.
My heart beating quickly
As I fell under
And
Into your love.
Under the tree.
The old oak tree
So long ago.

Singing
The birds are singing in the spring sun
Unaware of what is coming
Undone
Around them.
In the dwelling by the tree
They sing with delight
Their songs of
Love,
Their songs of
Life.
