Distant explosions of light and sound
Carry across the valley
Anticipation stirs the core
Stillness is interrupted by a cooling breeze
Harshly descending from above
Chilling to the bone
Dewy spray is carried on the wind
Torrents quickly follow
Cooling the baked earth
Retreat to the warmth and safety
Let the elements do their worst
I will watch in awe

Puddle Jumping In The Rain
The still cooling driveway
is warm on the feet
as puddles collect
in random depressions
Looking up
liquid heaven pours down
relieving the earth
from the baking sun
drip, drop, drop, drip, plop
Heaven smiles down
on her child of nature
embracing all
that is innocent and pure
Bathing her in Love and Light
purifying her heart once again
begging her to run, jump and play...
puddle jumping in the rain.
splish, splash splish

GRASS
DEW DROPS
FRESH AND CLEAN
SPRAY THE LEGS
AS FEET PLAY THROUGH
LITTLE FEET
BARE AND SWEET
RUN THROUGH THE GRASS
AND THE EARLY MORNING DEW
MOTHER NATURE
CELEBRATING INNOCENCE
SUNLIGHT FILTERS THROUGH THE LEAVES:
DIAMONDS IN THE GRASS.

The Unlocking
- an ode to Sigur Ros
Joy fills my heart
As tears stream down my face.
I feel the familiar pull of childlike abandon.
Beauty emanates from your words, your instruments, your images
Stealing my breath away
Awakening something lost within me
Struggling to free itself once more
Every incomprehensible lyric uttered
With the beat pounding to mimic that of my heart
Resounds a truth that has escaped me
Until I hear your haunting melodies entangled in dreams.
Raw, real, true, pure.....LIFE lived with graceful surrender
Artful images capture a dream sequence
Children boldly conquering life, love and fear
Embracing life's poetry which has been captured
Through your melodies, your work, your ideas.
Poetry expressed both musically and visually.....
Overwhelmingly at the same time.
You bow the strings of my heart with a master's touch
My life forever changed with the knowledge
That you exist in this world
To fill it with pure, raw emotion
As if seen through the eyes of a child.
Your words are foreign,
But the feelings span the divide
Loving, sad, courageous, hopeful.......playful.
How I long to embody and ounce of your passionate abandon
Your creativity.........
Your innocence.......
Your mystery........
Your mastery.
You inspire me..........TO LIVE FULLY!
