To Have All...

Things that shed love
things that shed fear
things that bring comfort
things that bring fortune
All things that encompass who and what...

Such complex human emotion
stirs such beauteous passion,
to be written
to be lived
to be given...
is it only human
is it all about ours...

In Nature, it is about all
in Nature it is about growth
it is about a gift that lives on
to all...
all will share in beauty
all will share in harvest
all will dwell in
the all...

The ancients new of the all
where did we lose all
was it greed
was it the winds, the waters, the Nature
was it the new man
incapable of seeing
the all
is it because of 'the Jones'
that we have lost sight of our brothers
to have it all...

What is your all
can you give more
to have all
will you see more to have all
will you feel more to have all
is natural to have all
is to be born again
for all...

Shadow shot Sunday--Oh, Loud Thunder

Your forest shadow echos in my heart

of a day in my youth when I walked your

depths before the waters came.

Once lush canopy hovered majestic

over deer trail and human path

turning an adventurous child

into a Native American legend.

We could run as 'wild Indians'

and no one was offended by a word.

In youth there is no prejudice

only a moment to run free into history.

To run and jump high with the wind

to soar with the eagle.

The scars of humanity fence you in now

only by boat can I get to your trail.

But your beauty remains steady

in an uncertain world.

Shadow on shadows

beauty and nought

I write with tears in my heart

secretly knowing the future

knowing what is my fate

knowing what is yours.

Your great green mounds

whisper the secret to my being

I will always walk your path

in beauty

I will always walk your path

in beauty

It is finished.
