So many life stages
Still, we group only a few
Let me count the ways.

Islands in the sky
High above the desert floor
Share the monsoon rains.

Let the Woods Crowd Out Leave a comment
Image by kenne
Lost and certain of it, the woods crowd in
allowing only glimpses of the track
that was so clear and broad and well traveled
only moments back where the sun fell bright
between the leaves to dapple the mast, but
lost and certain of it, the woods crowd in
spinning the senses like leaves in a wind
risen from the past to obscure the path
that was so clear and broad and well traveled.

Queen Of Many Colors 3 comments
Computer Art by kenne
I saw her to the south
a queen of many colors
on a bed of many riddles
young, yet slightly old
beneath her skin —
secrets in the shadows
from which revelation comes.
Who is this muse of revelation
when she passes through
the eye of the viewer?

This butterfly has arrived,
I watch wondering
if it knows of its
new freedom
still holding on to a host
in a new beautiful
yet tragic existence
with three perceptions
of life in one world.

home is where I am
home is not where I am
always in between
I am an island of consciousness
I have a cosmic consciousness
always in between
life is now
death is now
always in between
existence is being
existence is becoming
always in between
I am free
I am in prison
always in between
everything is implicit
everything is explicit
always in between
nature is an artifact
nature is art
always in between
nature must be trusted
nature must be mastered
always in between
humans are good
humans are bad
always in between
a sense of law
a sense of equity
always in between
there is a natural order
there is no order in nature
always in between
life has purpose
life is purposeless
always in between

The Hummingbird
The sunlight speaks. And its voice is a bird:
It glitters half-guessed half seen half-heard
Above the flower bed. Over the lawn …
A flashing dip and it is gone.
And all it lends to the eye is this —
A sunbeam giving the air a kiss.
