"My Child"













He is my child,
a tender hearted soul

Wisdom in his smile
that came to me whole

I for a while watch the sunlight catch his stare -
moon eyes flitter without a care

with dancing dust fairies all around

suspended by his breath's royal crown

Suddenly they amass in a magical crescendo
flickering and twinkling with each little giggle

I am spellbound by the folly of this muse
my angelic sweetness that reminds me of my own truth

It is about moments as these
that I cherish the child that is too in me.

"Mother Earth"









I open my eyes to see her
misty mountain crowned with twilight

And she sings to me a lullaby
Gently whispering twirling flight

My beautiful Mother warm with time
is dropping rainbows in my eyes!

"Magic Lake"













Magic Lake.....fed by the spring of Creation
A looking glass for the soul's reflection
From which the image is cast

To the observer it is a paradox
for it only reflects what is seen

Asking the question "what would you like me to be?"

"Lite Traveler"









It is the breath of dew
still night misty spray

That covers thee with crystalline sight

Take in this night
and let it be your stone

But let it not linger on or lay with it's bones

"Stanley the Sand Man"













He thinks I do not see him through his posse of bold phonetic slurs coarsely reflected in the sprinkling of his verse.

Like a day with many seasons, he unfolds though not aware
the petals of forgiving with each thorny tear

And so he retreats to the sand with many days to seize and rests his fleet of
bold phonetic tears by the sea

"Hate"

It is a darker place
where hate lives

It has a need to feed itself
from the ego's lie

Like a virus that's unleashed
hidden in the mind
it leaves it's victims deaf and blind

It is a darker place
Where hate lives

No Light-ness there will it shine
No Love, no Peace will it ever see
And only chaos will it breed

"Greatness"













I hold you in great esteem
no matter the mood

It is not important whether your words
slight daggers of painful knowns

Or if they swell up in tears of
laughter and joy

It is all the same beautiful day
lest light or dark, dawn or dusk

For in this ever present state,
one is drawn to truth

And oft the weary traveler,
the dedicated soldier of life,
will lay down his head and cry tears of contempt

Not to stir the darkness but to lay waste what he holds dear -
to tempt what he does not understand inside himself

It is then that he receives the greatest miracle of ALL
It is then that the silence becomes filled with what his soul understands

So that he may proceed into Greatness.
