sunset -
as colors edge the sky,
the last twitters of birds

top of the mountain
no horizon too distant
together we plunge

I Ate The Hate

I
ate
the
hate
of
my
mate
and
met
my
fate

shoulder to shoulder
come tsunami highwater
we'll budge for no one

no whispering sound
snow hushes the pool waters
nature's beauty sleeps

somewhere in their peaks
mountains covet their secrets
winds cannot whisper
