Grandmother Mountain (Poem)
lowering clouds grey as her distant eyes
barren trees crooked as her aged hands
far ridges flinty as her hard smile
but there, there-look
a hidden trail that curves and winds
opens to such expansive view
still not as vast as her loving heart
-
If I Told You (Poem)
what I see hear feel
would you understand
not here there anywhere
but everywhere also nowhere
these the same
I do not exist nor do you or you or you
nor does anything but there is
joy light laughter brilliance love
choose the term that draws you in
expands your heart explodes your self
and here you are
vajra posed in the gem in the lotus
dancing on the branches of the jewel tree

The Visit (Poem)
horses on the trail
fairy queen over the fountain
wolves in every corner
statuary figure as mystery
better wonders than these
are scattered throughout town
greetings for stranger and resident alike
flashes of kindness that warm in these chill times
friendship and care shining brighter
than even the light in the verdigris trees
making true in this day the signature signs of love
