Cool brisk evening,
Stars obliterate the sky.
Silence stares at us
Small smiles and marshmallows
Keen eyes wander and focus.
Sitting By The Fire

Explore The Trail
Dusty, dirty boots
Explore the trail, Heaven!
Clear blue skies await
The soul ponders each moment
Loving the daily journey
Marking Time
The tree sits alone
Christmas passes, stuck in time
Blues, reds, greens, dimming
Replaced with memories of
Time, shifting and sliding past
Winter Tanka
Snow covered landscape
Cruel wind blows through naked trees
Icy branches sway
Lonely crow stands watch, waiting
The new year awakes, sober
The Hike
The gift is given
Vivid hues descend on the
Woodlands, rain falling
Like tears shed on a lonely
Trail, one step at a time, alone
Sunset
Simmering sun falls.
Orange delight gives way to
Blessed peace and calm-
A picturesque landscape of
Cool juicy watermelon
Autumn Hiking
Nature’s frosty breathe
Liquid skies, soft earth and love
Passion spreading life
Adventure found in each step
Fantasy fuels the psyche
The Onset Of Autumn
Swirling paths of light
Leaves gently falling. swaying
Deaths hand plays a song
Of fractured domains singing
Complacent in the calling
Early September Rain
Lightly falling drops
Crashing on the precipice.
Rolling, sliding on
The razors edge, sliced in half.
Questions answered, panic rules.
(Tanka)
A Return To Winter
The fangs of winter,
Thought to be in the shadows,
Reawaken with
A cold cruelty, preying on
The weak and unsuspecting
The Zen Hiker
