Sliding into history
Is a thought
That rings untrue
It whispers future presents

As it baits
The truth
From you.

Macau, China – April, 2019

Crashing through my thoughts
My heart remains afraid
It sees what rot has wrought
As it scolds –
A soul betrayed.

Val d’Isere, FR – March 2019

Whose rocks are these I think I know.
My chalet in the ville below;
We will not stop the traverse here
To watch our turns retread with snow.

Our guide must watch, and think and steer
No stop without a decent line near
Between the piste and frozen ice
The brighest day within in our year.

We give our harness lines a shake
To make sure quick and no mistake
As only we can move and take
Through delicate wind and lofty flake.

The space so lovely dark and deep
Because of many friends to keep
And breaks to find before I leap
And turns to carve before I sleep.

Tinges, FR. – March, 2019

Hat Tip – Robert Frost “Stopping by woods on a snowy evening”

Moving closer
Ever so slowly
To a vision of failure
And of triumph –
Intertwined secretly
Adept at deception
Of cloak and confusion
An invisible –
Perfect,
Wisdom perception.

San Francisco, CA – February, 2019

Shining rays of brightness
Envelope, our arcs, of time
Paving new ways of rightness
Alighting,
Our future,
Sublime.

Capital Hill, Washington, DC – February, 2019

Similar somethings
Seep
Into psyche
Seeking
A kinship
Set –
To a strike.

Shanghai, China – January, 2019

Weaving, through history
For the instants
That shatter
And scatter
Our visions
For the moments
That matter.

Bedford, VA – January 2019

I indicate, through silence
I vindicate, through rage
By fighting, through my anger
I simplify, my cage.

Guatape, Columbia – November , 2018

Bracing –
For fear, now defined
Overcomes,
The terror
Of mind.

15,600 ft, Sussex, NJ – September, 2018

I imagine
A future
Of the past
Rearranged

Where the present
Is imagined
As a future
Unrestrained.

Maniwaki, QC – August, 2018
