You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on.Continue reading “Wild Geese: A Poem by Mary Oliver”

colors
deep in my earth your words survive there beneath the ageless, the night, the moon’s silken eyes deep in my earth your words quietly stroke a palace of blues, of grays, of an artist reborn as a lover awoke
bond: a haiku
obscure is the wolf knowledge bonds with the morrow in autumn’s echo
skip: a haiku
read me a story only skip to the last page where it all began Doors are a subject I love taking pictures of not only in appreciation of their architecture, but for the dreamer in me that can’t help but imagine up worlds lingering behind every one I stumble upon.

I giggled at first sight of the morning’s mist in its stream along the lake at the irony of theContinue reading “mist”
salt: a haiku
trimming the distance salt water blankets bare thoughts waves caress slowly I captured this image along the shore of Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a storm was approaching. Bird watching along the shore line is enjoyable to me, in watching their flight, their determined (and sureness) in finding a mealContinue reading “salt: a haiku”
wild: a haiku
in the wild of me special thoughts rain blissfully forest grows louder I captured this image while in one of the bayou’s outside of New Orleans in Louisiana. I love the look (and feel) of Spanish moss and how it seemingly rains throughout the branches of trees. A moment after I captured this image, IContinue reading “wild: a haiku”
benthos
beyond the shallows where your waves steep extracting the flavors of the sea in the rush of darkness, i bloom most silently into this garden of benthos, a blushing bride i become where you in most ardent steps nakedly roam clutching the tapestry of emeralds woven about my hair draping upon the coral of myContinue reading “benthos”
