THE AWAKENING

In early morn at 3 a.m. before a day is born

Clear thoughts transmit clarity - minds mystical magic

As deep understanding rides tranquil waves alive.

Pure Love exists entire empathy, compassion, selfless - ness

Dead: controlling ego, gone singular anger, anxiety, greed.

Birthed: universal love lives

Floating free are we who have lost the inhibited me.

In the Forest

In the forest;

squirrels scamper 

arboreal acrobats aloft,

above drifting docile deer.

A foresters’ handsaw 

recreates 

Jay birds’ call.

Homeward bound 

boots

 break bronze 

brittle 

beech leaf,

next years mulch.
