Cowpen Daisy In Tanque Verde Wash (Tucson, Arizona) — Image by kenne
Morning walks along the wash
months have passed since water
flowed above ground down to the river.
A lone daisy takes on the odds
standing in the parched sand
having found the right place
to display its beauty.

Follow what you love! . . Don’t deign to
ask what “they” are looking for out there.
Ask what you have inside. Follow noy your
interests, which change, but what you are
and what you love, which will and should
not change.

“Sisters” (Jeri & Joy, 01-04-07) — Image by kenne
For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands

Birds Flying, an Abstract — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Snowbirds
The big birds feel
it in their feathers
nature’s call
to start the long
flight to their
northern home
having spent
winter near shallow
desert waters.

Listen and I will Tell You A Story 1 comment
“Listen and I will Tell You A Story” — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so bold
Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, “Hey! Get a job!”
“Why do you only do that only?
Why are you so odd?
We don’t really like what you do.
We don’t think anyone ever will.
It’s a problem that you have,
And this problem’s made you ill.”
Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so bold
The artist walks alone
Someone says behind his back,
“He’s got his gall to call himself that!
He doesn’t even know where he’s at!”
The artist walks among the flowers
Appreciating the sun
He does this all his waking hours
But is it really so wrong?
— from The story of an Artist – Daniel Johnston

Cowboys are known, to have a way of their own,
to sort out a sense of fair play.
You ride for the brand, or a shake of the hand,
that’s always been “The Cowboy Way”.
“The Cowboy Way” is not a phrase,
to be abused and misconstrued.
It’s a way of life, a reason to fight,
it’s a lifestyle through and through.

A Winter Sunset
The winds are blowing
across the winter sky
colors moving in this
land of the setting sun.
Lovers raise a glass of wine
hearts warmed by the colors
as they lay quietly together
embracing nature’s moment.
Other sunsets will happen
bringing passion and joy
each sharing day’s passing
with those who participate.
Sunsets are always new
generating energy called love
to be shared with someone
since the beginning of time.

Fishing From the Boat Dock — Photo-Artistry by kenne
No bait,
only a bullet weight
on the end of the line —
does it really
matter to the boy?
A quiet boy
in a world
all his own
where silence
creates inwardness.
He was six
when this
photograph
was taken all
those years ago.
It’s easy to
wonder what he
was thinking —
‘what’ doesn’t matter
for they were pure.
It is these
moments
sliced out of time —
melancholy with
all its charms.
Moments exist,
otherwise
everything in life
would all happen
at once.
By watching and
connecting with
everything around me,
I have become a
connoisseur of empathy.
