A Love Poem From the Tree to the Cloud

To my Dearest Cloud,

THE TREES AND THE CLOUDS
trees 0020

You are so far

Yet so near and dear to me

I often dream what it may be like

To touch you

For one precious moment

To have you in my arms

And caress your delicate face

And when I awake

I realize it is but a dream

That can never come true

Sometimes you look lean and mean

And you stand vertical like spears in the sky

And you stand vertical like spears in the sky…
trees-0026

And sometimes horizontal like 100 arrows shot at once

And sometimes horizontal like 100 arrows shot at once..
trees-0039

But most the time you have soft sensuous and voluptuous curves

But most the time you have soft sensuous and voluptuous curves..
trees-0011

Moving slowly and lovingly through the heavens

Moving slowly and lovingly through the heavens..
trees-0049

Me?

I am what I am

And only change

With the coming and going of the seasons

Just a little bigger as I grow older through the seasons

You on the other hand

Are eternal

Changing only your form as well as your position in the heavens

From second to second

Each time, a form more beautiful and unique

I love your unpredictability

A DARK CLOUD WITH A GOLDEN LINING
Always hope for a better day!

Your color also changes with your mood

And the time of day

You look most passionate and fiery

When the sun wakes up and goes to bed

This is the time when I love you best

I often dream what it may be like

To touch you

For one precious moment

To have you in my arms

And caress your delicate face

And when I awake

I realize it is but a dream

That can never come true

Fir Tree at Sunset

Whoa! – Wait a moment !!…

We are connected through the waters of heaven

The rain and the snow!

They are you!

And they touch me in so many ways

The blanket of snow when I am naked

The delicate rain when I am in need

They caress and moisten me from without and within

I am filled with your love for me

And I for you

Raindrops on the TreesWaterdrop on the Dogwood in Spring

Oh what would I do without you my dearest cloud

You are my life

You are my love

We will be together forever!

ABOUT TO FALL
A leaf and a water drop have a conversation
With both in a precarious position on the branch of a tree
Leaf – “I do not want to fall”
Raindrop – “Its our time
Gravity will return us to the earth”
Leaf – “Gravity sucks”
I just want to be green again”
Raindrop “To recycle is to be green”
Leaf – “Too profound for me!
My be-leaf is that life is too short to worry about gravity.
Please God Fly me to the moon.
I do not want to fall”

THE BATTLE FOR SPACE AND TIME

Green vs Brown vs White
Green has had her time and is a mere beautiful memory – and she knows it as she fades into the background
Brown has not yet given up, and rises above White
White rests in quiet confidence She knows that time and space for the near future is on her side 

Observations of a dOG wALKER  November 21 2016 – 173

SAID THE LEAF TO THE WATER DROPLETS ..
“When I was young and full of life,
You gave me life itself and I could absorb you into my body.
We were like one.
Now I am old and dying on the sidewalk
And all I can do is enjoy your beauty on my dry body
And sadly we will have to go separate ways!
I pray that we can meet with renewed miracle of life
When we are recycled by the heavens”

 ABOUT TO FALL IN THE FALL – a poem

Who shall live and who shall die?

…all of us! said the leaves with a sigh

Fall is a gentle remind
Not to leave any dreams behind

Not to go to bed
With things left unsaid

And to live the day
In the fullest way!

FROM ZERO to WHOLESOMENESS ON THE WAVES OF TIME –
a poem

FROM ZERO to WHOLESOMENESS ON THE WAVES OF TIME – a poem
JULY 27 2016

From nothing to wholesomeness
And then to nothing again
From zero to all the numbers
From the empty womb to new life
From the round seed to the wholesome tree
And then to recede
And then to seed again
And we cycle and cycle .. and cycle
With repeated spiraling of bonded zeroes till eternity
While time moves on its unstoppable wheels
And we are given a present to be present in the present
To understand the holy void and holy wholesomeness

LIFE SPRINGS ETERNAL

Life Springs Eternal. Just when I thought Spring was dead
                                                                                                                                                                                                   The earth was all brown
And then all white
And the white was relentless
                                                                                                                                                                                                  The air was 47 and then 22
And the 22 was relentless
With many days less than that
                                                                                                                                                                                                  We were teased with a rare 35
Then back to the 20’s
and I thought Spring was dead
                                                                                                                                                                                                And then the beautiful sweet Crocus
Reared its welcome purple head through the death of brown
And I sighed with relief
Life springs eternal
And just when I thought Spring was dead
                                                                                                                                                                                                         Courtesy dOG wALK aRT

OVER 32 AND UNDER 65

Over 32 and under 65 –
That is the water and me,
and so shivers the tree.. and me,
as we accompany the dog for a pee

ROMANCING THE MOON

AS THE MOON DANCED DELICATELY UPON THE TREES….

The moon was dancing  among the trees

…and then she rolled and folded onto the shoulder of the Fir..

… and in her mellow way, she gracefully moseyed her way across the night sky above the trees,

giving a quiet glow to to the night sky,

and quiet comfort to those below
