Alula

When she was born
thus so adorned
so tired she was
gave birth to you
different set of wings
you now so have
please learn to use
them right

It's You that I Miss

As the sun
always rises
seasons shift
I miss
my sunflower
during times
of winter

The road so
iced does miss
the warmth of
summer time

Lots of grown ups
forget there
once was a time
when there mother
hummed a tune
or sang
that sweet song

Eyes Of A Hawk

Honesty in eye
the hawk
you know
glistening white
from tundra snow
at night.

Brightest most harshest of
deserts would say
the meaning eye
of the hawk.

In reflection of eye
it's prism to scry
of the trees
brush of the sky
painted thus so.

Freedom to they

Nobility Of The Tree

Immovable dogmatic staunch
yet kind thousands
of people did climb
even those
careless at times

Would thee hurt
bark bend limb

Forgave them all for
such trespass
greatfull for no fall
clinging to mountain side

So long memory dim
unto dimension
noble tree

For The Want Of Why

As I ponder lost to wander
passing of another soul
so young of yesterday.

In the small southern town
from which i'm from
not understanding
the here in why.

No broke back mountains
here to climb such talent
in perspective
but few find.

Mentor broken heart so kind
seclusion magic broken spell
bereft of wife child
all know well.

Those whom see lids closed

Butterfly Dreams

The dreams of my heart
my mind doth pass

In my dream of butterflys
for they hug me
without sound

Nothing stays with me to long
In my dream of butterflys
they lift me from this ground

But I have had from
since as a child
In my dream of butterflys
they so still my mind

The deep solace of song
In my dream of butterflys
they flutter for there posied.
