Rejection Narrow View Frost Fairies Our Sacred Earth Eternity He Is Final Hope

Preconceived Existence Images of Fire Reason Stumbling Admirable A Struggle

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

VLC1995

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 VLC 1998

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

VLC 1998


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


VLC 1997

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
