Wandering Through the Forest Mention fleetingly that you’re going to a friend’s house. You’re not really, Are you? Instead, you turn left, along the path; Not right, towards the village. You’re going towards the forest. The magical forest Your mother says it’s off limits. What she doesn’t know, Won’t ever hurt her. You reach the edge of the forest. It’s dark in there And cool. Taking out your Jacket from your bag, You slip off your shoes And put them into the bag, Along with the sketch pad And pastel blue pencil case. You know the sweet spot. Tip toe, Barefoot on the cool, dry leaves. Quietly; It’s like there’s A big do not disturb sign. You here a bird chirp here, Nervous scurrying there. Suddenly a strong wind Picks up. Blows, almost howling. Awakens the whole forest The loose leaves, Now floating around your knees, The trees, now alive. Watching. You’re nearly there. It’s a small clearing. Like Jacob’s Ladder, A patch of sun Shines upon the grass Between gnarled old Maple Tree roots. You sit, and lean against one. Now you watch silently And wait. You take out your pad and pencils. You run a pale hand over the roots, Then sketch them. You sketch the critters That scurry with Such nervous haste. The trees; The entire forest. In all its beauty, It’s your one spot To truly call your own. Where by taking off your shoes, You can feel the leaves, Feel her breaths; Beneath your feet. It’s your place Where you Can feel alive.
As I Sit
As I sit,
I stare
At the bright blank page.
It screams at me:
Write something meaningful,
Or humorous,
But something people
Will actually like.
And if it turns into a chore,
You must cease.
As I sit,
And ponder,
I stare around my surroundings
Whatever to write about?
I wonder.
Perhaps a dashing man,
A lost cause;
A yearning love.
Perhaps a wild horse;
Or even one of
My fears;
My dreams.
Behind this veil,
I write what I wish.
Those people
Who read this
Won’t ever know
Whether it’s imagination
Or maybe something more.
As I sit,
I smile.
For what
I have created
May not be a masterpiece,
But, man;
Writing it
Was like living a second life.
Happy New Year | 2010
Happy New Year | 2010
Will the transition to Twenty Ten
be the same old New Year again?
-with half-hearted resolutions
OR
will we all start revolutions?
of Self
Shift Happens - within
where all ideas begin
It is a matter of Source of course
so flow with the Force
of all creation
and live in elation
with your heart’s desire
set the world on fire
and give up the [...]

Happy Halloween | Trick or Treat
Happy Halloween | Trick or Treat
A night of ghosts
goblins and ghouls
Where behind a mask
we can act like fools
playing our tricks
sharing our treats
staying up very late
eating too many sweets
often awakening
to a toilet papered scene
Oh what the heck,
It’s a Happy Halloween!
