Man made heavens
A meretricious imitation
To trees covered in birdsong
Don’t get me wrong, I am in awe of the human capability to create beautiful art, but nothing compares to the cosmos which is what inspires our art in the first place. Waking up under a canopy of trees by a birdsong alarm is my idea of heaven (even if my old back is stiff from sleeping on the ground).

With morning’s first light
Overflowing abundance
Her cup filled with dew
Everyday struggles
The disconnect from nature
Restored by a camp
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #184: Dis Connect
From the moment we are born
Until the moment we die
Our lives are a series
Of calculated risks
That make life worth living
And ventures worth taking
When fear of regret is greater
Than the reality of danger

Breath deep her shadows
As secrets inside emerge
For those with patience

You reached for my hand
As shadows elongated
Sunset lullaby

Night
Creatures ball
As spring rains
Fall upon the earth
Worms
