Red Rock, Sedona
Below the cliffs,
an old tree lies—
roots exposed,
its body weathered gray
by seasons of wind and sun.
It seems less fallen
than resting,
a figure stretched beneath
the iron-red slope,
its limbs now gone.
And yet,
in the stillness,
the tree remains—
not defeated,
but folded back
into the silence
that bore it.

1.
red stone sings—
shadows stitched
to light.
2.
rust & bone,
rocks burning
without fire.
3.
the canyon
keeps color,
time stacked
in silence.

Yucca bursts in bloom,
bees waltz through the silver stars—
summer sings in white.

It is not enough
It is not enough to know.
It is not enough to follow
the inward road conversing in secret.
It is not enough to see straight ahead,
to gaze at the unborn
thinking the silence belongs to you.
It is not enough to hear
even the tiniest edge of rain.
You must go to the place
where everything waits,
there, when you finally rest,
even one word will do,
one word or the palm of your hand
turning outward
in the gesture of gift.
And now we are truly afraid
to find the great silence
asking so little.
One word, one word only.

Summoning the Vortex, Sedona, Arizona (06/15/16) Image by kenne
Vortex to Nowhere
Vortex to Nowhere
Life sinning around
Death approaches the rim
It tries to take you down
Vortex to nowhere
The mystery beyond
Life in it’s final stage
The death race has begun
O great vortex take me home
My life upon this Earth no more
Take me to the world beyond
O great vortex take me home
Vortex to nowhere
Swallow me up
Take away my pain
Let me drink your poisoned cup
Vortex to nowhere
The darkness looms
Death awaits
Within your gloom
O great vortex take me home
My life upon the Earth no more
Take me to the world beyond
Oh great vortex take me home

Red Mountains of Sedona — Image by kenne
On the Pulse of Morning
A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed,
Marked the mastodon,
The dinosaur, who left dried tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
But seek no haven in my shadow,
I will give you no hiding place down here.
You, created only a little lower than
The angels, have crouched too long in
The bruising darkness
Have lain too long
Facedown in ignorance,
Your mouths spilling words
Armed for slaughter.
The Rock cries out to us today,
You may stand upon me,
But do not hide your face.

Intolerance is the father of illusion and evil deeds.
Tolerance is not its opposite; tolerance is neutral.
The opposite of intolerance is creative imagination,
sympathetically exercised in the service of ever-illusive truth.

“Armchair complaints do not leave your living room,
so fight for justice, question, protest, criticize, write
and read letters, poetry, songs, speeches, sermons or legislation.
The arc of history tends toward justice, but you must bend it.”
