Lone Wolf

For the Sunday Muse

 

 I have traveled many moons

in search of signs of the wolf clan

they once occupied this land

guardians and path finders

 

from generation to generation

the wilderness our beautiful home

now there is barely room to roam

old territory narrows, food is scarce

 

survival depends on basic instincts

a voracious appetite for freedom

wandering through each new season

where have my once large pack gone

 

hot from the summer night, I pause

the days have grown much longer

thirsty for a drink of cooling water

the only kin I see,  is my own reflection

 

a lone wolf, a free spirit, untamed

Summer Solstice - Welcoming Light

 The summer solstice ushers in light.  In the warmth of a hot June evening. My drum in hand, I stand facing the sun rejoicing in the light.  A pool of water shimmers as the sun dips beyond the horizon. The moon shines on my back, a reminder that light is still needed in times of darkness.

 The evening air is thick with the smell of jasmines and freshly cut grass.  Hungry sparrows chirp in unison for food, adding their own notes to the magic of twilight.  A chorus of tree frogs let out a melodious trill with each beat of the hoop drum.  Waving good-bye to the last piece of the spring sun.  

Summer's rhapsody
blooming with radiant light
music to my ears

Hey You, Be Happy

 

On a walk nature's oracle spoke
in two simple words "Be Happy"
reflecting in the noon day sun
feeling the day's shades of blue

in two simple words "Be Happy"
listening to the cardinals duet
a sweet message of devotion

 listening to the cardinals duet
happiness found in the gift of song
wispy clouds pass overhead

 happiness found in the gift of song
synchronicity in a blue stone
rejoicing in the moment

Calligraphy Is An Art

Using calligraphy a visual art

penning words from the heart

how to make you feel each stroke

verses of rain and thunder broke

etched across a parchment page

watercolor flowers set the stage

a teardrop falls, smudging thoughts

maybe, someday our letters will cross

Here I'll Be Waiting

One day in the temple of learnin'

will our words hold meaning

this world just keeps on turnin'

surely, love will be redeeming

 

unraveling riddles in the night

how much space must we traverse

somewhere our souls will unite

golden threads of lyrical verse

 

here, I'll be waiting

waiting  for you

the way I always am....

waiting for magic to hit

me with a wham..

 

enter the temple of sacred dreams

follow the desires of your heart

set sail where the water gleams

take a risk, let new adventures start

 

the stars and moon are calling us

let's dance beyond wispy clouds

heart to heart in cosmic stardust

embracing for as long as time allows

 

here, I'll be waiting

waiting  for you

the way I always am....

waiting for magic to hit

me with a wham..

 

One day in the temple of learnin'

will our words hold meaning

this world just keeps on turnin'

surely, love will be redeeming

 

solving puzzles in the light

how many poems will it take

how many words must I write

how many night will I lay awake

 

waiting, waiting, waiting for you

the way I always am

 Just a dream away

you’ll always be my man
