Marigold still blooming —
my childhood never left;
autumn untouched.

Some warmth never fades —
even autumn forgets to take it away. 🍂

Marigold’s lingering glow.

I pull the words back,
Finding *one* more place to adjust...
... The edits never stop.

Every #beautiful scene
remains a #draft
until my #imagination
makes subtle adjustments,
carves you into it,
and it
becomes #poetry.
Good morning!

if you stop
and stand perfectly still,
nature will carry you away

photo: my pic captures the famous Snake River as it cuts thru a valley in Grand Teton National Park. Pure water, clean air, pines…a perfect place to get lost!

Forget all foreign #issues;
Tend the borders of your own.

If your life dwells in a cage,
No soul can truly bloom.

Freedom’s law is wind,
Its creed soars past the sky.

Discard all bounds—
Be boundless,
Or wither.

Chisel's silent dance—
#keen pain awakens cold stone,
red roses unfold.

To those who ask me
how many loves I have had,
I say to look into the woods
to see how many traps
my fur is left in 🦊

old river's bed—
an empty cradle sways,
tide scents the silt.

Part of you died each year
when the leaves fell from the trees
and their branches were bare
against the wind and the cold,
wintery light.

Few Moments

The #law of life—
not all turns new,
only a few moments truly do.

Small steps—
yet they shift everything.

In love’s quiet,
a few words open hearts;
the rest
dissolve
like morning mist.

Beside ailing heart—
Neither you remain, nor I
Only sorrow breathes

all I ask from time again,

Shadows and Sparks

Hands reach—
sparks leap,
fingers trace the dark.

Footprints scatter,
whispers drift,
shadows hold the sand.

Eyes burn—
silent lanterns,
hearts weigh the night.

And you—
catch every thread,
a sea of light
rippling in truth’s mirror.

…hatred blesses no one;
it steals
the light from eyes,
and writes
nameless stories
in the forgotten dust
of #history.

Fading light trembles—
the sun writes its last letters
on snow-capped peak.

The Inevitable Arc

This poem captures the eternal journey of light and soul—

Mountains rise in silent might
Awe in every fold.
