   Rejection
 
    Rejection is a despairing word
        it gnaws upon the soul
        too slowly sever all the strands
        which bind us tight to hope
 
  
 VLC 1994
 
 

 

 

 

 
Narrow View
 
It is such a narrow view
    the tree which grows
    the tree which blooms
    the tree which time
    unfurls it's essence
 
Till left is only a forgotten image
 
VLC 1994

 

 


 



 
Frost Fairies
 
Chasing specks of sunlight, glistening
on the hard crust surface
of winters cloak
with heavy foot, fumbling
to be free of the quickening
possessing stuff
 
Regardless of voracity, they wink
out as shadow passes, flashing
fleeing faster, as I
with ragged breath, forming
clouds in frozen air, run
and frost fairies allude

              Our Sacred Earth
 
               She breathes for us
                     our sacred earth
               She bares our travesties
                     with grace
               And though thoughtlessly
                     we desecrate
               She holds us forgivingly
                     in a mother's embrace

Eternity
 
My dark weeping soul
a desert it is
to see the one
of my fate
a likeness of heart
to embrace
oh gentle one
do light my way
and from my life
the darkness stave
 
VLC 1989

 

 


 

 

 

                  Final Hope

                  Sky holds an orange red dawning
                          casting an eerie after image
                  Air smells of foul fermenting
                          warning of something left amiss
                  Humanity must stand as one
                           striving together to save the earth
                  Humility came with heavy stun
                           seeing corrupted places of birth
                  Yet final hope must be shared
                           perpetuating thoughts of responsible care
                  Comprehending that preservation of future lies
                          on the honorability of all mankind

Preconceived Existence
 
Beyond this preconceived existence
of worldly escapades
of darkened fascinations
 
Beyond this empty aching heart awaits
freedom from this stagnant suffocation
this desolate preconceived existence
 
Beyond this physical doorway beckons
a universe of myriad possibilities
a reality of unlimited spiritual bliss
 
VLC 1995

 

 

 


 

 

 

            Images of Fire
 
                Dancing with a blazing frenzy
                enthralling all within it's zephyr
                gradations of flaming colors waver
 
                Within the effulgent of color's existence
                are reflections of emotional ties
                where images of spirits thrive
 
                    with yellow, the gentleness of friendship
                    with orange, the yearning mother too child
                    with red, the swirling madness of lovers
                    with blue, the consummate promise of demise

He Is
 
He is the brilliance of the rising sun
       as it touches the edge of night
Like an elfin lad from days of old
        he haunts my moonlit grove
 
With graceful dance his body flows
        slender in it's elegance
        supine in it's perfection
 
To capture this of mortal man, no other could obtain
         the mysticism of his soul
         the supremacy of mind
         the gallantry of his heart
         almost impossible too find
For all of these he truly holds, with such astounding beauty of spirit
         that it consumes the darkness
         of my despairing thoughts
         purging with love, compassion
         and forgiveness
     
VLC 1991

 

 
 

 



 
                    Reason
 
                    Recently it occurred to me that something was amiss
                       as I wandered down a narrow way
                       observing nature's bliss
 
                    I saw there, maimed and tattered things
                       gross misshapen nightmare trees
                       which to their state no reason clings
 
                    I failed then, to comprehend, the reason of destruction
                       for the giant sentinels were mutilated
                       to make way for man's construction

Stumbling
 
While stumbling through this wretched life
mistakes abound aplenty
to trip
to snare
to shame
to haunt
the untrained sensibilities
If only one could learn to walk
instead of always falling
 
VLC 1992       

 

 


 

 

 
Admirable
 
You Friend, are uniquely cherished
and what wonders you create, amaze
with thought of line and part, reflecting
with extraordinary beauty
with jewel like perfection, the artist
who you really are
admirable in my sight
 
Of inner realization, of loneliness
I feel your yearning for enlightenment
for companionship, for a greater
sense of being, and I want to help
as you hold back, and hide
who you really are
admirable in my sight
 
I share with you, my inner thoughts of
who, I really am, hoping that as I come
forward, you will not fall back, meet
with me, on even ground, for we both
endeavor to know, who we really are
and may you view me, as I view you
admirable in my sight
 
VLC 1997

 

 


 

 

 
 
A Struggle
 
A struggle of dark and light
     exists inside
Throughout all eternity
     life after life
The test is time and the prize
     is peace of mind
 
VLC 1992
