Kalaloch Midnight
```
Day and night, mist
Drizzle and fog.
The tide comes in,
The tide goes out.
Land.  Ocean.  Grey
Mirror images
Roaring, boiling
Raw, chattering
Minds to Silence.

Paths IA, iv

Whenever the soul’s descent ceases
   The building process can begin
   To revive the inner strength lost
   When mortal darkness grew within.
With hope commences the release 
   From our soul’s rebirthing desire
      And the appeal for earthly gain,
      Which was purchased at any cost
      And whose pleasures reaped only pain.
   Sown seeds of hope help to inspire
Our growing faith for the peace
   On earth that every soul requires
   When climbing paths ever higher.

“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.

The Rebirth of Time

Simultaneously
Everywhere

For even darkness of night
   Can’t keep the dawn away.

Wherever I go,
It remains so. . .
    At my side
    You walk,
    In my mind
    We talk.

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

“The black walnut tree”

The black walnut tree
Stands in majestic silence
Awaiting winter

Knowing that the falling leaves
Protect its fallen seed fruit
