Hunting for Answers to Autumnal Questions
```
Within your sights is Life,
Breathing.  
       Can it be seen?
Can this miracle be felt
In a heart beating fast,
Or a breath being held?

Insects and birds sing
An autumnal opera
On Afton Mountain

Passionate in the moment
With no thought for tomorrow

“The time has been reached”
```
The time has been reached,
The limit surpassed,
For the games of old
Reoccur at last.

You try so hard,
Though you’ve failed before
To bridge the stream
And open the door.

Of Two
```
Windy is the night.
The storms of passion
Turned out the lights
And the love and the dreams
Of Two.

Grey clouds cover all
In their world
As the rains fall,
Streaming down the cheeks
Of Two.

Paths IIA

Peek from ego’s cyclic wheel
To glimpse the eternal Light,
Which eclipses mortal appeal
And pleasure’s fleeting delight.
Leaving blind delusions behind
The treasure of life we’ll find
In lasting gifts of sight divine.

Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life

Drive by shouting is requesting
Your generous contributions
To begin staff planning meetings
For the next Fall Semester.

Dream Fragment 5

Smartly dressed in red and black
The ants climb the green stalks
Slowly circling and circling
To coax a tightly wrapped bud
Open for the hidden pink
Gift of a peony sun
Rising over the green mountain
Of my flowering mind
