My light



www.pbs.org

 

It is found amongst family and friends

Smiles shared and time spent

A drive in the fog unable to see

It is found within me

 

It is my light you see

A synonym for life

The grand paradox of separation

Found within the whole

 

It shines in the forest

The deserts and wetlands

How we are all connected

Unable to see that string

We can feel

 

I take a chance to ruin this poem

But I must express my wish

Where we can all find this light

Free from criticism

From a truth that truly does not exist

For isn't every different lie every mans truth

and is that not ok?

 

Alone on the trail

But not alone

I feel the grass on my hand

The sweet fragrance of a flower in the air

The brightness from a singing bird

 

This is my light you see

It is not something that you can take from me

We all have our own light

Shine on

Shine on

Flaming Gorge 2012

Red rocks

Over green river

Side by side

Clogged with a dam

Beautiful cliffs

Make way to smiles

Of family

Enjoying togetherness

Break from city's

happing and doings

Space to truly

Be in concert

Every one together

A first

makes me smile

I love

Being a part

This experience fleeting

I will enjoy this life

Delicate Arch

Climb up

The slick hot dry
                                                                                              

Navajo Sandstone

                                                                

Walk on top of the ancient red rust

Under the aged Juniper tree

Through carved gulches

Nwf.Org

On the cliff face

The path is something

From a dream

The slick rock

Orange with

Setting sun

You turn

And it is

Upon you

A picture frame?

Life’s marvel?

A rock?

A beauty?

What you make it

What it makes you

It is what is

Missing that makes

You wonder

Sand Dune Arch

At night

Arches National Park

Is yours

No one around

No cars echoing in the canyons

No voices from chirping humans

mbdreyfuss.blogspot.com

Nothing

The sound of the wind

Makes you look up

At the night sky

A city slicker can actually

See Stars                                                                      

I lay on my back under the arch

The old as time rock

Lays symmetrical above me

A face on the rock wall

Stares at me

A desert bat yells out

Complete peace

Connection with

Something deeper than words

My head rests comfortably in the sand

                                                   

I listen to the wisdom of this arch

I try to understand

I think my soul did

Even if my body and mind

Cannot comprehend

A Good Day

Why is it that Friday

is a good day

thefunnyblog.org

It usually is for me

Started off kinda scary

But I got on my motorcycle

Went to school

Met up with a friend

Visited my wife

Home at two o clock

Feeling kind of sad

But I got on my motorcycle

                                                                                                  

Went up the canyon

away from the smoke

leaving the fire behind

The cool air

The precipitation evaporating

The wild moose

It is good to be home

Free Fall

   

(capetownskies.com)

Climbing on gray boulders

Big as the mountain

Jumping to the next

The fall could hurt you

Landing just right

It was on a slope

Boots clumping with a thud

A heart palpating relief

The cool breeze on the face

The heat off the ball in the sky

The stream passing by

Swishing in the distance

Gentle leaves brushing the arm

The hairs swaying like trees

A goat in its habitat

A feeling of peace

Healing with green leaves

Swelling the soul

Breathing with the air

A cleansing refresh

A part of this world

All that fly

Into the clouds

Must return

To the sea

Go For It!

Feel the heat of the grass

The winter storm in your ear

The hose trickling down your spin

Makes you feel alive

Sailing down a river

With the wind to guide you

There is no path

There is a fly in the garden

Devouring the flowers

The birds are singing

It sounds like water

The dog will hog the bed

Take a picture

Use the light

Real film

Is it alive?

Are you breathing?

Full of life

Full of love

Fill your lungs

Fill your heart

Live your life

Go for it!

Really go for it!

BREATH!
LIVE!
LOVE!

And be merry

The Old Tree

I sat by the old tree

I begged it to tell me

The secrets it hides

The old tree just stood there

Unacknowledging my existence

I stood up

And pleaded with the old tree

“What does it take to be happy?”

It just stayed

Still, allowing its leafs to trickle down

I kicked

And yelled at the old tree

“Tell me what I need to know!”

The old tree was still ignoring me

Standing tall and proud

I got an ax

And chopped it down

The old tree was now in pieces

Its sap lay sticky on my hands

I made a fire

And burned the old trees limbs

The old tree finally was talking

It crackled and popped

Alas I could not understand

I lay there around its burn

Empty and warm

And looked up at the heavens

Being Human

We are all undesirable elements

It depends on your point of view

Take my hand

Let us climb mountaintops

Alone with our nature

Allowing the surreal feeling

To take over us

As we climb into each others arms

Alone in the valley

Its is just the two of us

That’s all we need

Let us be free together

Let us sing to the heavens

The fantastic song of life

Bare foot on rocks

Let us step out of this rotten old box

Let us build a fire that

Ignites our souls

Let us run past midnight

Allowing only our heat

To keep the fire alive

Let us get the hell out of here

Before they fully take

What is left of us

Let us jump naked

Into the cool blue waters

And feel what it is

  To be alive

And actually feel it

Not just mimic it

But to feel it

Really feel it

Experience that feeling

That feeling will bleed into our souls

Then

We will truly understand

What it is to be human

Thank You

                       

Thank you

I needed that

It made my day

It made me whole

It wormed my soul

Thank you

The sun felt so good

The sky was so blue

The grass was so green

There was no where I would rather be

Thank you

I saw the butterfly

Lots of them

Some in the grass

                                                             And one on a log

Just enjoying

Its beingness

Thank you

That was what I needed

That was heaven

That was the perfect moment
