True Peace: a poem
Summer’s Sun
The all too familiar hum; lawn-mowers manicuring lawns that line the street,
A quaint reminder of the soon to arrive bliss, of Summer’s golden heat.
The brutal cold, the snowy blast of Winter’s storm, desired to be forgot;
Full knowing, it is a painful trial paid, for the most joyful season of four sought.
Much to do about the woes of climate change and, global warming’s effects;
Given the chance to choose between bitter cold or balmy heat, the latter wins I bet.
Though, the ills affecting the world from calamitous, thunderous seasonal storms;
The want to bask under the golden rays of Summer’s Sun remains, for most, the norm.
I am pleased to announce the release of my latest book of poetry titled:
REFLECTION – RESPONSE through the voice of poetry.
As an introduction, this collection of poems is premised on reflection of the many important and diverse issues facing the global human community today and, through the voice of poetry, express my personal response to a perceived affect these issues are having on human, societal evolution. Interspersed amongst these poems are several reflecting a personal philosophy toward life, sexuality and the environment.
I hope you will take a few moments to visit my Self-publishing website by clicking on the image below to review the contents of this book and, I would be further honored if you found it worthy of purchasing at a reasonable cost. It is available as Soft-cover and Hard-cover issues.
Thank you in advance for your time in this regard.

Walnut Trees
Binary Souls
Entombed to the Wood
Born to this world
To Know
To experience the tides of time
A living memeory
For all to see
To All, to know
Walnut Trees
Ominous yet, strikingly graceful, towering tall,
With wind-swept leaf laden branches too strong to fall;
Their thick, deeply channeled bark speaks to a timeless stand,
Defying death by disease growing mighty and grand.
Age-old witness to the passage of human history,
Intolerant to cycles of drought and winter misery;
Here only to serve their natural purpose; to purify Earth’s air,
Their lushful green grandeur of beauty; a gift to humanity to share.
As with all that is natural, an end time will one day come
When the boldness of their presence, no longer hides the Sun;
A sad day truly, for all whom have failed to witness, to see,
This wonder of nature’s doing, these centuries old, Walnut trees.
Earth’s Largess
Morning Sun rises to horizon’s shining glory
Golden rays energy to imbue the day’s story
Full essence of nature composes the coming day
Life for love’s fulfillment makes its ubiquitous play
Earthly bounty given for all to imbibe, to enjoy
Cornucopia of texture, color and sounds to employ
Calming tranquility of crystal-water brooks
Source to feed human senses beyond that spoken in books
Easily is lost awareness to what nature freely brings
Lush flora, fauna, animal cries that sing
Faith given to coldness of technology, running away from the rest
Modern-man has grown to ignore Earth’s largess.
this life’s place
it’s a sunny day but a cold wind blows
the kind of day it normally snows
though Spring season is formally here
by all accounts this fact has not been made clear
the seemingly endless months of winter’s norm
renders the mind grey as a raging storm
pointless seems the need from bed to arise
especially when snow-flakes float before your waking eyes
woh’s me; want away from this infused-winter gloom
endless back and forth strides in my living room
if this spring-summer’s warmth fails to soon arrive
It’s not sure how much longer this life’s place – I will abide!
Fractal Cycle To Reality
Cosmic conscious’ wave cascading, rippling through universal mind of One affecting the transcendence of effable energy force to the enigmatic presence of Being, cellular morphing thought-mind genesis creation of All emanating as fractal reality, programmed dissolution of Body, sole Soul reason to experience tactile, sensory presence of cosmic conscious’ wave cascading, rippling……

Nature’s Ceaseless Crawl
Snow flakes fall from a crying sky
Each sparkling crystal tells of time going by
The blanket of glistening white does not belie
Natural cycles of nature, begins from on high
Soon to come, billows of warm Spring air
Melting ice and snow, water for all to share
By brooks and streams meandering everywhere
Turn buds into blossoms with help of Sun’s energy glare
As the days grow long and temperatures rise
Spectrum of color abound, a feast for the eyes
Cascading fragrances waft about the skies
Summer, a time of charm, delight and surprise
The feast filled harvest bounty evidence to the coming Fall
The prelude period to Season’s last call
With temperatures dropping beckoning a sleepy lull
Announceing Winter’s arrival to Nature’s ceaseless crawl
Wintery Gale
the winds howl, lightening followed by thunder roar,
the house shaken violently to its foundation core.
snow laden pines sway to wind’s unabated force,
this wintery night is taking a viciously charted course.
sparkling crystal droplets of moisture reflect street lantern light,
their unbridled, swirling dance making for a wondrous sight delight
offsetting the harsh storm drama being played out this night,
abating even a shaken pet cat’s spontaneous fright.
cast in frozen watery cocoon of snow and ice,
all nature’s creation left clutched in winter’s vice,
defying its foreboding the picture created being visually nice,
it remains an experience not want to see happen twice.
