Wait The Storm Out
sky
turning purple
in the distance
one can see the funnel clouds
deadly
yet part of nature
wind blowing
like crazy
yet nature
can surprise you
when you aren't expecting it
the smell of rain
ozone in the wind
animals can smell it
yet humans don't
or choose to ignore it
at their own peril
time to find a cellar
as my grandfather used to say
and wait the storm out
otherwise Mother Nature
will have the last laugh

Summers Of Moab
memories of me
chasing lizards
outside of Moab
when I was 11 yrs old
in the hills
just before one arrives
to the Old City Park
sometimes I'd Catch blue bellies
other times I'd catch the bigger
leopard lizards
I's bring them home
in an empty milk carton
show them to my mother
then release them in my yard
ya I had fun
growing up
in the summers
when we lived in Moab

Unfriendly Critters
biting fire ants
stinging bull nettle
prickly pear cactus
three inch thorn bush
just a few things
that you have to be
careful of
here in Texas
otherwise it will
bite you when
you least expect it
and then you have to watch
for
rattle snakes
cotton mouths
and of course
the scorpions
sometimes
it seems
its an
unfriendly place
but then you have to
take in account
that most places
have their
unfriendly critters
and then you go with the flow

Fake Smiles
this world that's plastic
fake smiles
while some pretend to be your friend
yet behind your back they laugh at you
yes those fair weather friends
who don't have anyone's best interests at heart
gossip mongers
who love to pat themselves on the back
while kissing their own ass
fool hardy people
who karma loves
to bite when they least expect it
and why?
because the universe returns
what you put out
if you put out love
then love is what you'll get in return
and the opposite also applies
at the same time
it won't let you forget it either
but for the most part
some never learn that lesson
then the hard lesson is returned
ten fold

A Way To Greet The Day
cool wind
breathing down
dragon clouds
high in the distant sky
look closely
and you'll see a red hawk
soaring with those clouds
cliff swallows fluttering
around everywhere
tall red oak reaching upward
prickly pear cactus blossoming
along with blue bonnets and indian paintbrush
you can smell all of the blossoms
rattler sunning himself on the edge
of the pink and black granite
and mother nature finds
a way to greet the day
breathing down
dragon clouds
high in the distant sky
look closely
and you'll see a red hawk
soaring with those clouds
cliff swallows fluttering
around everywhere

prickly pear cactus blossoming

Alendar
within those pools of green
where mountains reach into the sky
held in peaks covered in silver
where a simple man
hears a whisper
Alendar
my home within
oceans of azure
and blood red deserts
speak
of tales untold
and yet I hear
that whisper
Alendar
songs sung of
dreams
where a heart is strong
truth told in legend
where miracles
unfold
and yet in the distance
I hear a cry

Reaching That Point
reaching that point in my life
where I need to simply slow down
and don't take things so seriously
enjoy the moment
rather than rush into things
head long without thinking
savor what I have
rather than longing for things
I don't need
find that comfortability
that fits me
instead of listening to others
that fit me as a square peg
in a round hole
I am who I am
and some things
won't change
regardless of others opinions
and here I am
waking life's path
searching for my soul
where I need to simply slow down
and don't take things so seriously
enjoy the moment
rather than rush into things
head long without thinking
savor what I have
rather than longing for things
I don't need
find that comfortability
that fits me
instead of listening to others

I am who I am

won't change

Harmonies
I hear that cadence
sweet serenades
that sooth the soul
rhythms that fill
a heart
within a moment in time
harmonies within the ear
celebrated in that succinct
memory
something that fills
the heart and soul
within the day

Those Smiles
those smiles
that somehow brightens the day
where a song
fills the heart
that kindness
which everyone needs
simple harmonies
that lighten the soul
and somehow
touches the heart

Earth Spirit Rhythms
down deep
beneath the dark earth
and earth spirit smiles
knowing certain rhythms
that spoke to him
those eons of time
where mountains rose
molten lava
gives life
as a blood stream
where sometimes it erupts
and spews like an angry god
other times
it's calm like beach
where its sister
sister the ocean
rolls its sand
in its own rhythm
sometimes it rumbles
as earthquakes
reminding some
that they didn't have
the final word
but all in all
he knows
that life will continue
through eons of time
in this universe
beneath the dark earth
and earth spirit smiles
knowing certain rhythms
that spoke to him

molten lava

And Here She Is Winking
gorgeous
female form
blonde
young 20's
pixie cut hair
wearing a blue top
with blue jeans
and sandals
and here she is winking
then smiling at me
she sunders down
the bus way
making her way out the door
here I am thinking
very interesting
at least she knows
I'm alive

Enjoy What You Can
I remember
the old trails
back in the San Juan mountains
old fishing creeks
ladened with brook and brown trout
hidden coves
where one can cool off
from a hike
and enjoy the day
and I smile
from pleasures one
gets from forays
into mother nature
one can enjoy the silence
and solitude
from the hustle and bustle
of everyday life
relax..
enjoy what you can
life is but a journey
in the scheme in this
universe

To Keep Going On
Funny...
some people
never understand
simple concepts
somehow they can't
get it through
their head
they try to make excuses
then blame others
for happenings
that revolve
from their own
doings
never realizing
that the rest of us
see what's going on
but I guess
that's life
and where
opposites
find
what's needed
to keep going on

Those Unreasonable Ideas
those unreasonable ideas
that fly off the page
some that make you laugh
some that make you think...
what?
you've got to be kidding
and here you are shaking your head
wondering what the hell is going on?
but then life is but a journey
with twists and turns
that catches everyone by surprise
still...
there are those days
that everything is off kilter
so you go on
and laugh

Times Passed
it's funny
thinking about times passed
never thought that I'd be doing what I am now
never considered myself a poet
but then life changes
and in those changes
we change
sometimes for the better
sometimes for the worse
and you go on and laugh
remembering what has passed
somehow it's those times
that make you grow
