An inner flame

Let your inner fire

burn with hot intensity

it will transform you

you must tend it with great care

it is where your courage lives

Life unfolding

Life is unfolding

in its own way on its terms

embrace it with love

Succulent sunrise

A succulent sunrise

climbs in the eastern sky

Heating up your day

Morning rain

Just because it rained

don't let it get you down

there's beauty everywhere

Summer heat

The heat of the sun

on a warm summer morning

sets the world on fire

Bylgja

Billowy waves crashing

on an empty summer beach

do you hear the roar

Projection

Mental projections 

transfer your desires to me

careful with wishes

Hidden beauty

Sometimes true beauty is hidden from sight

we search high and low on our mighty quest

Lean on me

Lean on your love when you are filled with fear

life is as fickle as a Buddhist koan

The embrace

embrace your love every day of the year

time goes by and finally leaves you alone

Trancendence

Platonic love may well be incomplete

and it does lack desirability

Passion

Passion will bring to life a certain heat

but with it comes responsibility

Innocence restored

Exploding in bloom

and restoring innocence

enjoy the moment

Summer heat

As days heat up

and humidity saps your strength

can fall be far away

Pinwheel

When life was simple

and pinwheels made you happy

aah the good old days

Morning light

Early morning light

brings on a certain calmness

keep it through the day

Eye candy

Eye candy

ribbons of visual delight

sweet

Marred

A beautiful rose

also has its blemishes

we all have our flaws

do they detract from our beauty

or add to our character

Emergence

As new blooms emerge

older generations peak

to each their own time

A red dot

A delicate beauty

symbol of love and passion

with fleeting grace

Look to the sun

Look to the sun

feel its warmth on your face

and enjoy the moment

For Dayton and El Paso

Dayton and El Paso

A vigil light

The insanity must end
