Winding Road
The briefest of peaks
From behind the parting clouds
Mt Rainier rises
The winding road a witness
To nature’s grand majesty

Mighty Succession
earth
moves
reform
There is a beauty
In wreck and ruin
Where survival
Is the leading lady
Time worn
But still standing
The scars of violence
Begin to heal
Her pyroclastic flow
Long since dried
But deep down inside
Her core still burns

Mental Hegira
As I stand on the precipice
I slow down my brain
Away from the city noise
Listening to my breathing
My steady heartbeat
The wind swirling around me
Carrying the sounds of voices
Ancestors who stood here before me
The caw of the crow
Observing me with amusement
For he already knows
What I am learning
To quiet myself
And let it be

Veil
My burning desire
Is to cast aside
My veil of self protection
To stand vulnerable
Naked, trembling
No longer transparent
Known
For who I truly am

Fire & Ice
Born from silica
Garden of fire and ice
Delights the senses

Contemplation
contemplating
my inner child
a butterfly
