SOME OF MY WORDS
WHAT sweet poetry of NATURE'S anthem
resides in this inhospitable shell
WHAT mental stream of consciousness
keynotes a monologue of regret
WHAT creature exists on Earth's plane
at the changing mercy of NATURE'S whimsy
WHAT awaits the searcher
at the gong of life's end clock
WHAT unanswered calls of yesterday
go unsaid today and forgotten tomorrow
WHAT new dawn foretells
of fortunes lost on yesterday dreams
WHAT spent passion wounds
there cauterized by heartache
WHAT layers yet to unfold
reveal repeating patterns of yesterday shadows
WHAT sweet NATURE does restore
the balance and chase away demons
WHAT instrument NATURE's brandish
doth level the sharpness of lingering regret
WHAT rich nectar of NATURE does sustain
through moments of despair with assurance all's
well
[dht-2011]

SOME WORDS OF MY KINDRED SPIRIT AND COUSIN
This is "sweet
poetry" indeed! The poem goes so
well with the picture. The thing that first
caught my attention was the circular patterns in the photo and the poem seems
to be of things 'coming around', changing, the "circle of life" (so
to speak). I would venture to say the
above questions might be part of your creative process. "... phantoms, demons, shadows await the
explorer" to be sure, but adventure, beauty, and solitude also await. Although the season is irrelevant (to me), I
feel it is late Summer or early Fall ... and I am a "participant",
i.e., it is me in the photo standing outside the tent - waiting for my
companion to return (notice the two sleeping bags) and enjoy the perfect
moment-in-time together.

"OH MY WORD! YOU have such a poetic SOUL and
NATURE! YOU 'see' what is only revealed by the inner heart! YOU are truly one
of the NATURE'S BLESSED!! [dht-2011]
Twice BLESSED are ye who see the heart where time
and 'stance masks!"
[dht-2011]
"Blessed are they who see
beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.”
[C.
Pissarro]
