The Last Chapter
Promises of the mind set aside
in the days of youth; visions
stored in a hopeful place to
become dim memories and
fade away. A glimpse into
the window of twilight time
lays the tombstones of
yesteryear’s promises; rubble
covered with reminiscent vine.
Embers burn within the soul
no peace can one find; there
are fewer tomorrows, weep
for the uncertainty of the
future and of dreams left
behind. If you could turn
back time would you trust
your heart to relive your life,
accepting the future whatever
it may be, would you disregard
truth and trust what your eyes
see?
Yesterday’s promises are hidden
dreams, try to find new excitement
in your life, rid yourself of turmoil
and strife. Awaken your consciousness,
your journey is not over, there are
new mountains to climb, forget the
rubble of yesterday, wisely use your
time.

Sharing their knowledge
Looking in the direction
They expect to go.
Borrowing years of living
To guide them forward.

Sonoran sunset
Many colors in the sky
Shining through the clouds
Eleven years of sunsets
Seen here in Tucson.

“. . . before the morning watch when time stops and time is never-ending” — kenne
Becoming is Superior to Being
“Wheel Stuck In Time” — Image by kenne
The tolling bell
Measures time not our time, rung by the unhurried
Ground swell, a time
Older than the time of chronometers, older
Than time counted by anxious worried women
Lying awake, calculating the future,
Trying to unweave, unwind, unravel
And piece together the past and the future,
Between midnight and dawn, when the past is all deception,
The future futureless, before the morning watch
When time stops and time is never ending
— from T.S. Eliot’s “The Dry Salvages”

Picacio Peak State Park — Image by kenne
“In 1848, the Mormon Battalion constructed a wagon road through Picacho Pass. The forty-niners on their way
to California used this road. In the late 1850’s the Butterfield Overland Stage was carrying passengers through
this area. Picacho Peak’s most noted historic event occurred on April 15, 1862, when Confederate and Union
scouting parties met in the Battle of Picacho Pass during the Civil War. This was the largest Civil War clash to
take place in Arizona.” — Source: azstateparks.com

Desert Grass — Photo-Artistry by kenne
In the grass
the cactus, with hair-like spines,
irritate the skin upon touch.
Spring flowers have withered again
in silence, the desert awaits
the hours of great sorrow
and travail.

Chaos — Abstract Art by kenne
I’m not sure the words ocean and sea
mean the same to you and me.
Ninety-five percent universal confusion,
dark matter was born with the legitimacy
of an onion, the roar of a lion.
I sit in the rumble seat of judgment,
I damn myself for entertainment,
for wasting time on hopeless entertainment.
I am guilty of snarling lines, Gordian
knots in my “Shakespeare” fishing reels.
I must untangle this because eels
have hearts like us. The enemy
is symmetry.
In the spring of content,
I trust glorious chaos. I smell in disorder
the outhouse of order.
— from Chaos by Stanley Moss

Morning In The Canyon (Pima Canyon) — Image by kenne
Daylight comes earlier
with each passing day
I dress in translucent light
as the fading shadows
of night slowly move on.
I will leave soon to hike
in a nearby canyon
still, I pause taking time
to read poetry before leaving
preparing my thoughts
to be with nature.

March 2015 Flowers In Our Desert Yard — Images by kenne (See on Flickr)
This blog frequently posts images of wildflowers in the Sonoran desert,
to the neglect of domestic flowers in our yard.
So, it’s their turn to be shared.
What’s not to love about flowers, domestic or wild?
Spring flowers abound
Opening in the sunlight
Keeping us spellbound.
