By Design

yucca
Luscious perfumed winds of change blow through the night
Clouds containing colors and magical designs reflect light
Time stands still while dawn reveals eternal nature’s hand
As it passes once again over the world to heal the land
Dawn Song

light
Lights and shadows creep over the mountains at dawn
Bright colors slowly appear to illuminate this day
Every time the sun rises there is a new opportunity
To see clearly and to sing in harmony with all of nature

Rush
September 11, 2019
imaginary place
We flow between seasons, obligations and reasons
To rush from one moment to a never ending line of others
Our escape into imaginary regions preserves imagination
For the times that we can glimpse a reflection of eternity
Watch Party
September 10, 2019
Watchers
The night begins with music. Waltzes fill the air with sounds
The costumed creatures take their places whirling all around
The frenzy mounts to a crazy pitch while the watchers gather
To see the dancing figures form a circle and change to smoke from matter
The crowd disappeared beneath the dust and the flaming sky
Nobody bothered to look back or ask the question why
Lizard Sun

lizard on cactus
Stillness and sunlight fill the desert with color, revealing detail
Of creatures as they go about the business of living with extremes
Lizard lingers in the sun on a cactus, surveying the possibilities

Retreat
September 7, 2019
Retreat into the center to find the truth beneath the breath
The way is cleared, obstacles are removed from the path
In stillness.
The mind heals itself in silence.

Lesson
September 5, 2019
mandala
The author did not sign the work, but left it on the ground
At first nobody noticed when it came alive with sound
The colors became fluid, and the words escaped in flames
A violent rush of emotions turned assumptions into games
There was no time to interpret the truth it brought to light
The lesson arrived too late to stop the impending fight
Rapid Ride

bridge
This interlude is punctuated by quick movements to the side
Each moment is tense, somehow fragile, breaking stride
With the smooth and even pace that we have come to know
The ripples of the sound waves are muddled in the flow
The waves and splashing water carry power in the tide
Floating downstream here and now is a rapid ride.
Wall Of Silence
September 3, 2019
wall of silence
Tangled tendrils of lost innocence cover the wall of silence
The barrier between infinite wisdom and earthly needs
Stands tall, sits firmly in the middle of the field of reason
Dividing the consciousness of the wilting population
Separating the elements of life into compartments of gloom
Flight Of Fright
September 2, 2019
humanity
Figures take flight across the the sky, filling the air
With shrieks of both joy and anguish as they escape
No warning was given, no hint of the destruction to follow
The surface of the earth reached a critical temperature
That suddenly ended all life as it had been in the past
There is no doubt that we used our gifts way too fast
We have destroyed everything that sustains life
In order to deliver plastic bottles of sugar water everywhere
In a desperate world to starving hoards of humans
Instead of vital nutrition, care and loving kindness
We are, well and truly, finally broke.
