Spirit of the Forest
Spirit of the Forest Far above the towering redwoodsWhere the lone bald eagle flies,Steely clouds conspire and gatherTo break in alabaster skies. Monsoon descends upon green woods,Crystal raindrops mingle with tears.Shadows creep within the forest,Stirring up my deepest fears.

Withered Sunflowers Smoke and flames frame the horizon;Red blood runs cold, hope forsaking.Distant gunshots are growing closer,And the sinister skies are breaking.

The rain beats down upon my windowOn this endless and forlorn day.I crave yourContinue reading “Withered Sunflowers”

In the Wilderness
In the Wilderness In the wilderness, the word itself is beautiful musicfrom summer cricket songs to moth’s wing flicks,cool nights bedecked with planets and radiant starsfar and away from the cacophony of rumbling cars. In the wilderness, the rolling river bends and flows,trickling down to all the places that silence goes.Rhythmic lapping, gentle beneath aContinue reading “In the Wilderness”
