Nature Poem

A rock stands the lonesome guardian of a hill

The grassy slopes crawl to it's base

It was here then, it is there now, and always will be

Each crack and chip creating a shadow, gives the rock a face

Sitting on top, admiring, wondering, watching

A small tree has begun to grow from a dirt filled crevasse
Views all around, no wonder the rock chose to stay here
I lay down and fall asleep with a breeze as my sheets

Free Association

The Melody of the moment
Everyone in Tune with each other
The wind, the sun, the Singing
Driving to wherever 
Freedom falls through the window
A final destination is Open for suggestions

List of Things I Enjoy:

Rock warmed by the sun bringing life to my hands

Air like rain without a cloud in the sky

Days where all I can remember is the smell of pine

Falling and not caring if I'm caught

The motion of waves lifting and dropping my body

My fingers clinging together with sap

Tent zippers used as my alarm

Being outdoors and only thinking about the moment

Knowing that something could hurt, but still doing it

Looking at the sky from under water

Listening to nature

Climbing anything, anywhere, to see the view from the top




Ballad

Mary Worth, I can see your pain
What could Drew have done to you?
The shadows become darker in the frame
Although you're in a comic, your words are so true

Your emotions perpetually trapped on paper
Plots twist and no one could have guessed
I know Mary is real, it would be impossible to fake her
Although your feelings change each day, you never change the way your dressed

Now you're caught up in it
Men, once again, have foiled your life
What did they do? The possibilities are infinite
You'll persevere, you've seen so much strife

I'll know what happens tomorrow what happens next
Tonight my dreams will involve your text 
Tomorrow I won't be quite as perplexed
As I flip every morning to C5 direct

Minority Poem

I open my eyes, but it's always night
Colors are fantasies, like light
All of my thoughts are dreams
My touch pictures things

People see my family, see me
They think how hard it must be
I know their looks are sad
But I'm fine, I cannot miss something I've never had

Haiku

unzipping tent flaps
no sheets, no clothes, pure comfort
peace made with nature

carefree, time is lost
humidity sticks to me
sitting silently

spray of the water
sitting, thinking, listening
rocks warmed by the sun

mittens warm cold hands
gliding down glistening hills
red cheeks stuck smiling

colors mix and melt
drifting leaves in the breeze fall
wind tickles my nose
