for the little ones

look out for the little ones fragile china dolls porcelain petite angels on tippy toes fire flies in jars the world in all their wonder as Jupiter finds His mirth in the land so green as known as earth has led them to their stars milk and honey days are sunny filled with giggles and…

fence

to and fro the wavering wheat and grasses run and flow billowing in a stream of consciousness the integral goal to find a place i may create with colors dancing upon a crest of breath and growth tossing each meandering cluster which with textures convey are ever-lasting foliage so cold into December, red wood alight…

eternal flame

keep cool in schools like fishes swim feel the coral reef beyond belief so thin the fin there is a bond to dive from the surface fathomed far below found fondly underground to neglect the one pure love suits harm bemoaning odious a karmic mental bar an obstacle superfluous of charms to throw away on…
