Paths II, i
```
Falling from divine grace
We forfeit our higher goal
To the self centered wheel
Which still cyclically spins
In utter ignorance
Of paths to awareness.

“Today a feeling has possessed me”
```
Today a feeling has possessed me
Of Life and a Love
For Man and Nature.

A calm understanding grows
In a body
Which a disturbed restlessness
Once called home.

Early August

The morning garden chatter spoke
Of the ripening chokecherries:
In a week the firm green berries
Have become a plump burgundy.

Soon after the fledglings have flown
The annual gathering begins
With errant flights of drunkenness;
Ending in somber discussions
Of migratory timeliness.

“Fireflies at twilight”

Fireflies at twilight
Illumine the Blue Ridge Christ
As it catches leaves

Blown from the disrobing trees
On winds of changing season

Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                IX
Modern day Luddite warriors,
Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
Tune out, unplug, and awaken
From the techutopian dream
To join battle late in the day
For the Soul of Humanity.

Prairie Cleansing

Angers away  Eastward
             Floating
Heavy cluttered mind
Baggage cast aside
	
Lakes   mountains   trees
Gone        Forgotten
Blind traveling folded
Into Saskatchewan sun
Rising over fence lines
Touching blue domed sky

Driftwood Daydream

Fifty-seven winters
I have perched on this coast,
To watch the tide rise up
Only to fall again.
I gawk at you bipeds
Gawking at me in awe,
When my outstretched wings touch
The distant horizon.

Wedding Vows

Let us not talk about Love,
       Except for all Living Things.
Let us not speak of Marriage,
       Except to the Ideals of Peace
       And Freedom for All.
Let us not desire commitment,
       Except to One Earth.
