What mystery lies beneath the palm frond;
and, in the gnarly branches of the tree?
I look upon them with expectation;
as surely a secret will reveal itself.
For the emotion stirred by a simple glimpse,
must have deep significance.
Can I capture it in a photograph?
It appears not.
I must just accept the mystery for what it is;
relishing my connection with the trees.

When Nature Calls
When nature calls;
Greet it with a whole heart;
Feel its presence;
Immerse yourself in its beauty;
Understand its power;
And remember your essence.

Strange
You think I'm strange?
Look at you;
Obsessing each day;
About all that you do.
My life’s simple;
I go with the flow;
My instincts tell me,
All I need to know.
Give it a try;
Just soak up some sun,
Wait, what’s all that?
Chair, towel and lotion!
A cooler of food;
Drinks and snacks;
A speaker and phone;
That’s how you relax?
Okay, you do you;
We’ll bask by the sea;
I’ll sit on my rock,
While you photograph me.
Sunrays
Sunrays halo you;
But all you see are the clouds;
Let the light prevail.

Head In The Clouds
When my head is in the clouds,
I lose sight of what stands before me.
I forget where I am;
I’m not sure of what I've done;
Is that bad? Maybe…
But, sometimes when the clouds clear;
And I return to my present circumstances;
There is a sense of purpose;
An illumination;
A clarity that can only be achieved,
By having my head in the clouds.

Sea Glass
Treasures hide beneath the waves, Searching for silver, ancient gold, Maybe some coins from ships of old. Walking along a storm swept beach, Plastic and garbage among the sea grass, With brilliant shine a piece of sea glass. Still a treasure in its own right, A broken remnant of origin unknown, Its ravished beauty standing alone.
