About Freedom Hiker

I served in the USMC directly out of high school and then taught for two years in the Bronx, NY. I was then a Special Education Coordinator/Special Education teacher at a public high school in the Lower Hudson Valley in Westchester County, New York, for over 20 years. Although I love going to Anthony's Nose, I try to get to different spots in the area. One great thing about living in the Hudson Valley is the abundance of great hikes. You can do the same hike in different seasons, and it will be as if you were hiking that trail for the first time. It doesn't get much better than that!

First Touch

Forever looking for the first touch

Individual fingers, slowly moving over cool skin, exploring and defined

Remembering each soft caress as if they would never end

Savoring the anticipation and the ecstasy

Trapped in time, the moment builds

 

Tasting each infinite possibility,

Oblivious to the soft cloak of sensibility

Unflinching and unsure, apprehension measured with each soft breathe,

Captive to the fascination of the moment, the thirst building as if to fulfill a sacred promise

Humbled, each touch an affirmation of what is to be, what is meant to be, perfect in its simplicity.

Jase-A Haiku

 Eyes closed, tail wagging

Sleeping and dreaming, happy

I am loved by all

         Legs moving quickly

On the chase, can’t seal the deal

         No problem, I’ll wait

Sleep fades, eyes open

Familiar voices greet me

Radiating love

An Every Day Passing

Passing, the light mist of perfume saturates his senses.

Dizzy with lust, thoughts obscured by the quick nod and flick of the hair.

The calculated, pensive look, carrying an almost sad quality, dominates the ink stained paper in front of her.

Seen together, but always separate, beauty is renewed daily with the glimpse, the almost forgetful hello, the not knowing.

 

Dinnertime

I was visiting my parents today and happened to notice this bird waiting to eat its dinner. It kept its distance for about five minutes until I guess it realized that I meant it no harm. Soon after that, it moved in and chowed down!!!
