Today I speak of sorrow
As the blue sky and the amber dawn fade into the night
Summer fades into winter
Life into death
As a rose loses its color
And in its frailness departs
As the cool stream trickles into nothingness
The flow of time carries it along
As they can only wait for the end
The end is at the end of our rivers
The ocean….
A new adventure

As you rest in the sweet slumber
Dreams arise of great majesty
The clouds flow past in the sky eternally blue
As hopes are fulfilled
Peace reigns in the heart
As sweet moon light and delightful rays
Are one
Bringing together the coolness of night
With the joy of day
The amber dawn awakens
A new day heralds its arrival
Light streams into your darkened room
Erasing the ghostly illusions
A peaceful time
Forgotten

A flash of light over the horizon
As dawn breaks into a thousand rays
Touching here and there among the trees
Reflecting off the dew covered grass
I lie with my back to an ancient oak
Writing of the past
All the while listening to the sweet song birds
That night
When the moon shines silver upon the meadow
As the stars dance so far away
Deep within the sorrows of time
Embedded in the heavens
Waiting
Watching
As we rest
So peacefully
Below

Cherry petals fall gently off the sea shore
As the sunset illuminates the sky in glorious wonder
The waves rolls in and break on the sand
Pulling all back into the depths
The now dying light is replaced by starlight
lights that hang in the heavens
Watching
Waiting
The moon rises in the distance
Illuminating the sidewalk with silver light
The shadows of the trees obscure
One man walks alone
Under the trees
As the petals land on his shoulders like soft rain
He takes no notice
His mind is elsewhere
He gazes up at the stars questioningly
His mind a mess of confusion
Trying to weed out the logic
In its eternal chaos
A flower petal flutters by his eye
Drawing his attention to sight
Cherry blossoms
Blooming
Falling
All while the moon shines
On the lone man
Walking
On a mild spring night

Flows endlessly

Through a meadow

As the sun rises and sets

On a new day

Brings a new day as the light

Falls upon the dew

Those drops of crystal

Resting peacefully upon the sweet grass

I lie watching the time pass sweetly in the air

The quiet breeze whispers slowly to the trees

As the leaves rustle in reply

My soul waits

Watching

As the brook beside me slows

Into a trickle and stops

Time……

It calls me from the depths of darkness

Beckons me with a white hand

Motioning in the dank abyss

I crawl forward hoping

Watching the silent illusion

It calls to me in the night hours

Awakens inside my mortal shell

A hope

Calls forth the creative fountain to spring forth

To devour all hatred and loss

To transform it in to soul

A spirit guides my hand as it writes

Prods my mind to listen

To the sweet calling

Of the white wolf

Darkness

Calmness

Watching myself

Now slipping slowly away

From the shining sun of daylight

I fly

Flight

Over the treetops I soar

Leaving myself in the wake

No longer bound by hate I rise

Higher and find the illumination

The sunlight streams softly

Through cloudless sky

The falcons are beside me

My brethren the wolves…

Follow my flight in awe

They ponder on the mercies of the dawn

Which sheds light on all things

Dispelling my darkness

Bringing hope. 

I lie awake at night

Waiting for the dawn

I listen to the sounds

As I hear the rest of the world come to a silence

I watch for the shadows to descend

As the silver moon rises

It sheds illumination

On the night’s obscurities

I know they wait for me at journey’s end

All knowing, they wait for the beginning

In deprivation they are real

All the world becomes an illusion

Silently they speak of life

As I slowly die

In agony of bliss.

I lie resting in the cabin

The window to my left

What a marvelous sight

The waves roll by without a care

Tossing the ship on their way

I watch them in awe as they pass me

Crashing into the sides

They call to me

Waiting for my return to the dark depths

The wind howls my name

It whispers to me in the still night

Silently the  clouds pass overhead

A glorious day ends

A night of darkness is upon us.

In a serene field

A wolf lies basking in the sunlight

As the breeze blows softly upon his fur

He waits for sunset

The end to this bright world

An escape from the light of day

He lies watching the sun lazily

As it slides along the sky

Watching its progression

Until it dies and falls behind the horizon

Consumed in a funeral of flame

The night brings cool moonlight

He rises

Walks over to the gentle stream

Fascinated

While the moonlight plays upon the water

The light glistens in his eyes

Telling him of oceans far away

Of glorious sunsets

Of the starlit heavens

How precious

The heavens that shine eternally above

He is finished

As he looks up to the heavens

He spots a lone wolf in the distance

He joins her

Together they sing the beauty

Of moonlight upon the water.
