majestic mammals
alert to their surroundings
unmoved by judgment




moments of my life -
sunlit hilltops, shadowy canyons,
infinite mountains




storms pass frequently
in an immense landscape
peaceful reflection




exhaling mist
the mountains patiently wait
for me to be still




voluptuousness
of nature when i sit down
quietly aware




wet and delicious
yet some would describe this day
as sad and soggy




indian paintbrush
reminding me of passion
paint the hillside red




the flower’s sticky
love note soon covers my hands
and doesn't wash off




hard human voices
bring me out of this world
of a thousand bird songs




hollow from dancing
breath gently moves in and out
holding to nothing




coyotes wake me--
laugh, play, be fully alive!
for yourself and this world




as the day warms up
the damp earth gradually
gives off memories




under this massive cloud,
resting in the moment
with these patient trees




walking along the path
beyond reason or defense
I am just happy




suddenly in awe
of what's been all around me
forest of deep repose




touching beauty
seems impossible to do
each one delicate




stop for a minute
delighting in life right now
blissful amazement




ahhh, to be a child
it is good to remember
sweet, simple joy
