I Color the Sky

I color the sky
With my eyes.
I draw the earth
With my feet.
I sculpt the world
With my thoughts,
And paint portraits
With my words.

Hope Blooms in the Winter

Though
I can't see it,
I feel it,
a flower
blooms in the snow.
Though the frost
kills its petals,
the flower
still blooms,
as promised.

I Want To Tell You / Immortal Words

I Am

I am small
thinking I am big
and important.
How could I be
otherwise.

Utilities

I give room
to power lines
asphalt highways
pipelines
landfills
they are utilities
necessities

but I also
give room
to forests
grasslands
tundras
shorelines
oceans
atmosphere
also utilities
necessities

A Predator is Born Before My Eyes

So quickly,
two beautiful creatures
morphed,
the sparrow into prey,
the falcon into
a predator,
before my eyes.

Thoughts While Watching the Snow Fall

I could try to run from my problems
and maybe distract myself for a while
but when I stopped running I would find
I was carrying them with me all along

and then the great secret I hid from myself...

I could try to search the world for my joy
and find many wonders and treasures
but when I stopped searching I would find
I was carrying my joy with me all along
