Free to be with the clouds
and blue skies calming hearing
the aspen leaves quaking feeling the warm sun
inviting my eyes to close my breath
to slow my dreams to float and reshape themselves
into what needs to be in this moment this instance
this experience (more…)
Begin to lose focus
of the overgrown thoughts suffocating the view beyond
casting shadows and mossy gloom
around those weathered dreams that are expansive
beautiful and right in front of you beckoning
your eyes to look to explore their needs

with the seasons evolving with each passing month
ready and ever waiting for

Fan out and discover
let the wonders unfurl
no need to resist them
they are ready
to catch you
And so it begins outstretched
lands slightly covered
in the last
of the nights air waking
me holding me reaching within (more…)
Today the sky was undone
wild showers releasing and cleansing beyond
my imagination stripping the land
And my thoughts bare
churning into dreams
wild dreams crashing before me (more…)

of chaotic apprehension
not all victories are wrapped
in fanfare and ribbons
they are internal and take

feeling their roots expand into my heart their sap

their shade comforting my quiet pain
I have wondered if they were only in my dreams
so many times (more…)

Shine softly draped
in whimsy and delight calmly
enjoying the morning dew
drips soaking thoughts
still smoldering through the night (more…)
