Mountain Wisdom

Spirit of the mountain, Holding strength impartial Roots planted deeply, A part of the earth mother Heights piercing the air, Mount into sky above Clouds dance from peak to peak, Spiraling and spin Hear my voice, my majestic friend I’ve come to listen once again When I’m blessed to walk, Under your towering trees To [...]

The Fall

I fall against a wall of air, Wall insubstantial, parting as I move My shadow follows, silent, riding waves Tides of sky or ocean, all the same Sun, but rose ember orb Drifting on warmed desert breeze Washing patterns, fluid, painted feathers Soothing, calmness, caress, peace I glide among the few highest clouds Over and [...]

With each breath, we become The universe, all that is, was, will be The very moment of creation contained within us Passed on to the rocks, the trees, animals and fish Beginnings and ends We are… The old ones say the essence of life is in water and wind Earth, stone, fire and bone But [...]
