a trail begotten

the trail

begotten via a rail

beauty on each side of left and right

speed cyclists take flight

and walkers walk

and runners run

then the rare inline skater

i fear they may never see 

the million treasures along the way

i stop on the trial to simply look –and

someone always asks –are you ok?

yes of course I say I have found a toad!

 

see there it is in my hand! or maybe it is a flower -or rock

–oh, ok glad you are all right…

i feel lost in these encounters where nature intersects humanity....

people forget we all are related and all is begotten -not made.

warm fuzzy

cat of seeming affection

yet with air of indifference

i reach to touch you

but you remain at an arms length

as you follow me round

and mew for attention

split

a variation on life's diversity

 inside looking out

on the shoulders of giants

 -a good place to perch

best buds

 "wanna come over my house for lunch?"

in the mist of discord
hummingbird comes to us
i 'catch' you tiny bird
with an American flag
you hop onto the patriotic perch
and i release you
out a window
always to fly to the
highest place in the sky
to freedom...

riding in the twilight
a south Carolina sky
an early night sunset
soon after a southern storm
makes me long
for the way it was
when i remember
that way it was
between you and me

the eyes 'have it'

blue door

 there is a place -where people meet, who understand why we must come together

transcendence

 note the dragonflies -we must understand nuture is a must beyond nature it is what brings us together

The first tiniest plant on Earth
From which Sequoia trees got their birth

DNA dragon

a long tale

ambiguity and ambivalence

Samson and Delilah

Fertility: In a world

all (or many) come round for Delilah

for she decides and chooses him

to dissolve the power of 'him' into 'her'

and only one survives 'the cut'

as most will have lost their strength

in their spiral journey into the world of the living

it is true in nature and -of human beings

because of each among us

-one must sacrifice (almost) all of our self

for immortality...

 

corridor of walls between us

various shades of gray

wondering where there is

a light for our day

might as well have a

question mark in the end

guess that is where

I will always be
