I dwelled on you without taking a breath.
Your hushed silence was too hard to conquer.
There was no headway in sight.
I gave up  on a reunion with you.
Anything hard to break  isn't worth keeping.
The lonely beautiful flower.
The lonely uninterested bee.
The lonely lingering silence.
The lonely soul watching.
The lonely universe abounds.

the sky is
dark night blue.
in a goldenish crescent
moon way,
a Cheshire cat laughs
at the waltz.
one, two, one, two,
the ticking of time,
thin breaking ice.
starless sky.
one, for no more.
two, what trees
stand for.
one, two.
silence fall,
tightening.
could have danced
all night,
charmed
by a blue,
dark night.

In their paper skin
Under the burning sun
Smile the paper flowers
In bracts, pink and white
purple or orange
Colourful red,
never fade or bleed
Evergreen in their woody homes
They fly with the wind
In their paper skin

Time has not been kept for long.
words we know
as well as
any message sent forward in time,
filled with a metaphor
filled with a meaning
in tended to change a state of not
known to known
in a measurable quant of time, this
time
totally im
material reality we live and breathe and
have our being in.
To the unknown god, that whole space and time led to now eventually
Failure doesn't seeketh the reasons.
Success doesn't belieth the efforts.
When humans become lax,
Nature begins to change.

When nature becomes lax,
humans begin to vanish.
You delivered love in snippets
when I needed it in torrents.

wyoming spring
is like a campfire

the sun's beautiful light
burns your face

while the constant wind
freezes the shadows

happy mediums
are for other lands
