Shady Solutions

To fix the problem

Unwired discreet

Imperfection

Loss of connection

Ascension

Into a malleable solution

The fires of past

With the winds of the future

Hold the fire at ease

While the shady solutions

Arrive today

So hold the twig in

A palm so tight

As we wait

For a better time

Bones in the Wild

Beyond the city

In the depths of the sand

Swell

And the Lake Michigan

There is the bones of the wild

Made of every creature

That has walked the face

Of the earth

Under the water and

Over the dunes

The bones of the wild

Are calling out

To you

The Weight of an Empty Chair

The weight of an empty chair

Weighs on my mind

What could be filled in that space

Misused and misled

The full weight is beyond the number

So know that the empty

Could one day be full

When Time Speaks

My own choices

Boiled out

Through the years

Distilled and ancient

But when time speaks

In a visceral tone

Known

To those who hear it

I have to take a moment to

To embrace the path

Of what was

And then breathe deep

To see what could

Be

Moonlight Wears No Chains

Through the evening and

Into the night

The free approach

Of the darkness

Unchained

As it goes

The smallest off dew

From the later afternoon

The moonlight has no chains tonight

In the crystal clear sky

Blanket Spring

Comes with the season

Set up by the turn

Of the earth

Each small bloom

Prepares a life

Force

To construct a

Vibrant

Spring

On the edge of the blanket spring

And

Can’t come soon enough

Sweet Discovery

In the silence of thought

The only new strain

Is the discovery

Of a hope

Buried under the lights of

A past gone by

But dispatched in haste

Makes new waves

Hopes

And opportunity

For the bright

Future ahead

The Postman of Forgotten Letters

Beyond the notes

Stamps and collections

The overdue letters

Sit waiting for a life

To have purpose of direction

The postman of forgotten letters

Grabs each and every letter

Poem and

Description

To take the words

Home to the rightful

Place of the address

To be sent

The Language of Trees

Unseen above the ground

Not a sound

Or a note

The trees collaborate

Well below the soil

In the connected roots

Below our leather boots

They can speak from miles

Away

The trees communicate

All day

And night

What we don’t see

We can’t understand

But what we can’t understand

Is the great work

The greater plan

Until the Morning

Waiting all night

In the distant hope of alliance

With oneself

The moon creeps over the dunes

Soon

The sun will return

In glorious

March

To the day of another

No other

Than to see the morning

Rising in the eastern skies
