Waves bring messages,
Mankind waits along the beach-
Those of peace still drown.

Birds ripple the wine-
colored sunset, hoisting sails
on the summer sea.

As the menacing
summer storm builds momentum,
green leaves shake ? jazz hands!

Bumblebee, hanging
midair, not a flower near?
maybe lost in thought.

Breeze rustles dry grass
Birds sing, frogs croak, squirrels chirp
The sounds of silence
Birds sing, frogs croak, squirrels chirp
The sounds of silence
stark leaf-stripped branches
good-bye kisses on doorsteps
harvest moon waning
good-bye kisses on doorsteps
harvest moon waning
silence on the beach
your sky vast and crystal clear
my heart wide open
your sky vast and crystal clear
my heart wide open
Furious winds blow
Spineless branches scrape the earth
And then leap skyward
Spineless branches scrape the earth
And then leap skyward
Lights above the trees
Sentries of white, red and blue
Guiding our escapes
Sentries of white, red and blue
Guiding our escapes
Woods are so peaceful,
a place you can breathe the air,
and unclear the mind.

Sunset at the lake~
Empty Adirondack chairs
face autumn's twilight.

Hummingbird in air.
Cat hiding in the garden.
Milk now turned sour.

pink orchard blossoms
swayed by the breeze greet the sun
diffusing sweet scent
swayed by the breeze greet the sun
diffusing sweet scent
tall stands the pine tree
its twin in the calm water
whisper timeless tales

white-noise: copper-silver wind,
electric heaven.

Each day's earth begets
a fresh green philosophy.
Watch them sprout like seeds.

The sand strewn with souls
Sitting on the beach of Death
The tide rushes in
Sitting on the beach of Death
The tide rushes in
Her starry surf burns
The ocean is crystal grey
salty Milky Way
The ocean is crystal grey
salty Milky Way
across a gray sky
ragged red streaks like war paint
tribal chants in tow
ragged red streaks like war paint
tribal chants in tow
drenched in summer rain
thunder rolling overhead
we're caught in full bloom
thunder rolling overhead
we're caught in full bloom
Feather snow hardens
To cold white steel, by sun's glare
That fades its glory.
To cold white steel, by sun's glare
That fades its glory.
One love of one earth
Through hands of hope and healing
May it always be
Through hands of hope and healing
May it always be
Short autumnal days.
Paths darken, then disappear --
alone, the wind shrieks.
Paths darken, then disappear --
alone, the wind shrieks.
Dawn on the Ganges
Distant bells, a twirling leaf
Strokes the quiet calm.
Distant bells, a twirling leaf
Strokes the quiet calm.
The clear azure sky
That stretches over our heads
Makes one feel so small
That stretches over our heads
Makes one feel so small
Gentle blows the wind
That cools the hot traveler
And makes him go on
That cools the hot traveler
And makes him go on
our black van tires roll
over dark elm trees stretched long,
but where are the bumps?
over dark elm trees stretched long,
but where are the bumps?
Dark clouds 'cross the sky.
Raindrops beat against the glass,
playing the rain song.
Raindrops beat against the glass,
playing the rain song.
Tides washing the shore,
erasing the wet footprints
again and again.
erasing the wet footprints
again and again.
Weeping cherry branch
Underneath the risen moon.
Our soldiers come home.
Underneath the risen moon.
Our soldiers come home.
wilting rose pedal
weighted in the morning dew
drops tears of nature
weighted in the morning dew
drops tears of nature
moon shines on crushed grass
cat fight finishes my night
old tiger of mine
cat fight finishes my night
old tiger of mine
