sand-dust with cream
intensely mauve’d rust

WILD’ness

WILD
is beautiful
wild is free —

wilderness is not
an empty canvas
for Man to do
what he will —

wilderness is
an already full canvas
painted by God

Glows & blossoms

2022 July 5th2019 May 17th

The glow of the moon is poetry
The blossoming of flowers is poetry
The blossoming of woman is poetry
The glow of woman is poetry —
      and even more so, because
      the light comes from within.
