Venus, Moon and Jupiter all aligned. Heavens lightening, a gorgeous display. Planets creating a celestial chorus line . Singing praises of a coming new day. Gradually Venus and Jupiter are fading. Mountaintops radiate a copperish glow. Quarter Children's Moon left hanging. Shining against a dawning sky of indigo. Awaiting arrival of a warm morning sun.

This was the summer of 1963.A vacation of change for me. I just a boy of sixteen, young and earthy.She an older lady, much more worldly. Lessons taught were very real and sensual.Often dreamed but most incomprehensible. Showing me much more of life was attainable.Dreams come true, incredibly sweet, insatiable. Visiting places I had only been in my mind.Journey around the world totally unconfined. Changing from a boy into...

Waves gently washing onto deserted beaches. Moon light glittering across a watery expanse. Warm breezes wafting softly across naked skin. Fanning hot flames deep, deep within. Fire raging, starting to roar, searing my inner soul. Wishing I was not alone, but with another. Sharing this serene, sensual night together. Giant moon gradually sinking into the sea. Leisurely allowing darkness to seize its grasp. Blocking images...

Sometimes I have to strain to hear.Sometimes they are loud and jeer. The things said, sometimes are bizarre.Sometimes cutting deep, leaving a scar. I don't know from where they come.They do at times make me feel glum. I ask where, or who they are often.Never do they respond, and soften. Most times instead, passing through.Leaving me with baggage they strew. Telling me that my thoughts are weird.Dark, hazy, stuff that shou...

Sometime showing glitz and glamour, the cover of a book deceives. When opened and read, the wordsshow no sparkle, or sex appeal. Judging a book by its cover alone, does not let you see what is within. When we first meet another person,it is very much the same. Judging by their appearances alone,the real person can be missed. What appears inside can surprise! A heart of gold, full of love and caring,a real gem, full of sci...

Dark morning clouds filled with smoke.Horizon appearing to cough and choke. Outside edges lined in crimson flame.Looks like the devil is at work again. The sky on fire, alight with embers.Hanging like bright red suspenders. Spikes streaking high, as if leavened. Spreading hell fire across the heavens. Strange this beauty, the devil's design.Clinkers scattered from his fork, divine. These sights that nature constantly shar...

What a pleasure it is to watch the sky.Keeping track of clouds passing by. Seeing pictures appear in the shapes.Now and then there are landscapes. Bears, faces, fish, flowers and more.Too many to count, score upon score. Constantly changing before one's eyes.A collage of images, a constant surprise. Watching the other day, the wind blewMufasa, Simba's father, into my view. Clouds were moving at a very brisk pace.In no tim...

Is it a phenomena of our time,this so called meeting online? Meeting out in virtual space.Touching each with embrace. Souls have a way of connecting. Without ones heart expecting. Hearts make connections real.Sentiments are hard to conceal. Often ones mind fills with fear.Not letting true emotions appear. If this connection is embraced.Pain sometimes can be erased. Never seeing the others face,doesn't change the interlace...

Damaged goods, is that what I am?Has society sent me on the lam? I try each day, a better person to be.Not allowing all the world to see. The hurt, the pain that I feel inside.Hiding tears that are often cried. Each day a smile I try to place.Upon an others heart and face. Does that make me a bad person?Others pain I try not to worsen. Sending good thoughts to everyone.Hugs and cuddles, leaving out no one. Happy go luck i...

Today I was sitting as I often do,smelling the roses, sprinkled with dew. A bee came along doing its work,probing the flowers, not one to shirk. Amazing I found this to be,as I watched tiny honeybee. Studying with an inquiring mind,staring at this honeybee's behind. Caressing petals with its feet,suckling flowers nectar, sweet. Probing deep inside with its head,pollen gathering for it to spread. Anther of one, to stigma o...

What a gorgeous morning, not a cloud to be seen, the mixed scent of apple blossoms and lilacs filling the air, fresh and breathtaking, nearly intoxicating, the birds singing melodious songs, as they await the arrival of the sun. The air, crisp and cool, invigorating actually. Morning is such an awesome time, the awakening of life, the anticipation of the day fills my heart to over-flowing with good feelings, images dancin...

Standing, thinking upon my porch. Came to me, an epiphany of sorts. Answer to a question identified.Something finally I recognized. Asked far too often over many years.Recognition, brings my eyes to tears. Haunting things from my past.Always feeling like an outcast. Hollering out loud; I have found the clue. What are the tools needed to deal with you? Heart beating fast, breaths laboured, hmmm. Asking myself; where did th...

A country boy I have always been,crowded places make me cringe.Open spaces are where I thrive,away from the city's fringe. Out where not many dare to venture,is where I always want to be.Walking mountain trails cool and crisp,or deserted beaches by the sea. Listening to the birds sing their songs,or watching animals cavort.Hearing the waves lapping at the shore,or sounds of a whale's snort. Sunsets at the edge of an open...
