Fireflys dance in the dark
Coyotes cry of times long gone
The joy that darkness hides
Envelopes and keeps me warm.
In a state of wonder
Of night’s magic
While bats circle and dive
And deer silently pass
Through willows
Into the eery moonlight.
Where the night holds
All that dance far into the night
In the dark
The dark wondrous night.

My journey is here. Now. Forever. Not passed or going to be. It is now. Live it. Love it. Embrace it. You are forever.

The magnificence scent of locust blooms
The buzzing of bees as they harvest its sweet nectar
This is spring becoming summer.

Patience is blooming. Patience is the one thing that I can count on to carry me through to the finale of my destiny.

Trust.
Trust is an issue. Who to trust? What to trust? How much to trust?
Too much trust. Unfailing trust.
Trust. A great gift.

A blackbird feeds her young a minnow
A red squirrel munches on maple keys
Hummingbirds buzz from iris to honeysuckle
Thunder clouds roar and march across land
Green, busy, full of promise in this heaven we see.

Thunderous moments, mighty strides
Duck in the canyon, there to hide
Treacherous humans hunting like vermin
Taking away freedom and all thats pure.
Nothing is sacred, nothing survives
This frightening roundup
Of all who live wild
On the edge of a continent
Where mighty exists
In thunderous moments, mighty strides.
Muscles ripple, hooves stomp anger
Noses blow warning, run for your life.
Hope for the best
And a gentle caress of one you love
In thunderous moments, mighty strides.

The easy way out.
Duck the clout and measure
The distance to get out.
Don’t hesitate and ponder
What it’s all about.
Just duck
Duck and get out.
The reasons are many
The answers few
Don’t worry what’s right
Worry about you.
Survive another day
Cause it’s all about you
That’s what it’s about.
Take the easy way out.

I see life as me. As you see life as you, thru your eyes.
Worlds apart in the same world.
