surreal the vision
sharing in the eye of God
majestic the pause
I was privileged to be sitting in the aircraft, as we flew past Mt. Ranier, Washington from Denver, Colorado. The very kind person sitting next to me, Elijah, a young man in his twenties, graciously offered to share his photo with me and gave me permission to share it with all of you. I would suggest enlarging the photo if you can—it was an amazing site to behold!

Resilient strength
Pouring forth nobility
Sharing its beauty
Free Verse # 340 (on her lips the full moon)
LOVE in all its glory! Please direct your likes and comments to: http://themischiefmemoirs.com/
She held his poem
against her belly,
pressed into her naval
like a fiery seed being sown
in the womb of the earth.
~
On her lips
the full moon
a wild flower
~
Two in appearance; in reality one light, one body, one soul.
~
Wrapped in the silk
of a thousand dawns
she comes to me
and I unwrap her
one dawn at a time,
unfolding
her ineffable essence,
poetry…
~
I’m not a poet
I am a perfume maker,
in the oil of her skin
I dip my brush
then paint her,
a burning fragrance,
poetry.
~
On the nourishment
of your skin I subsist
the way a butterfly
dips and dips
into the heart of the flower,
her tremulous sea of poetry.
~
Of all my yearnings
only one remains…
red flower on her lips
~
In the quiet of my heart
your flower grows…
moon…

painted evening clouds
dance delightfully goodbye
relishing in love
with the moments that have passed
carrying joy to new paths

nature guides us through
branching outwards from our core
as we dream through days
growing into crystal beings
melting into one another

The Resilient Reed

the snow breathes its voice
unsheltered strands of life sigh
brisk wind sending force
yet, the single reed summons strength
deep inside the love stands firm
