The beginning—
And an avalanche of thought
For everyone.

Self Portrait

Somehow caught in the sands of time,
Consonants and vowels still commingle
To slowly waltz across the page.
In fleeting glimpses of the Eternal,
This child prodigy of plus forty
Wanders the deserts day and night
Endlessly scratching black on white
In full dress rehearsal of Life.

July Morning

Through the pink falling rain
The illusive catbird
Clearly calls me by name

Hanging from folded clouds
Rainbow fragments
Vanish     Reappear    
Then lengthen and double     
Brushstroking
The reflected mountains
To leave the lake awash
In kaleidoscopic color

“Nasturtiums slow dance”

Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path

Amanita Cloud

For centuries the Sacred Mushroom Ritual
Has been a vehicle for reaching Eternity.
We need not risk physical ingestion,
And the possible effects of its deadly poison,
If we symbolically see this visual keyhole
As showing us the way to that other world
Far beyond our day to day comprehension.

Children of the Sun IV
```
The solar family
Then welcomed Mercury
Forcing the relocation
Of brothers and sisters
To the former orbits
Of their older siblings

Today – Tomorrow
```
   Today

Can I totally relate
    My inner feelings
    And experiences
To You?

I think not,
But I must try. . . .

From zero stillness
The arrow of your desire

Adieu Once Again

The veil of history is lifting.
     The mind’s eye opens. . .
          Seeing, feeling, re-experiencing
          The lives we have shared
          And the innumerable times
               Our paths have crossed;
     The past events race by,
          As we, the minor characters
          In the eternally flowing
               Play of life—
               Intermingle.
