A whistling craving
Barrels down the mountain loud
And into my ears

So quick do grasses rise above
The freshly-sodden ground
Fast pop the daisies after rain
Has sprinkled o’er their heads

Yet trees are slow and plodding
Their branches grow sans haste
Each day t’ward the sun nodding
With patience.

And with open eyes and ears
One turns to the world
And sees
And hears
And all that you knew
Changes in a moment
Like an eddying wind

The world is as a swirling cloud
Uncertain, ever-changing
Through which thunder booms
And lightning cracks
To see it from without is to see little
To see it from within is to be blinded
What, then, is the cloudburst
Of the world?

With the morning sun

My mind goes t’the horizon

Longing and dreaming

Once again I’ve missed a day. Once again, you get two poems!

To breathe free

To look on the horizon
And know it is within reach
To gaze at the mountain
And know it can be climbed
To look to the stars
And know they are unchanging
To see the ocean
And feel its colossal breath

This is to breathe free

To be free
