the night’s water nymphs
resolve into rocks and logs
at the break of dawn

in all the forest glades i pass,
i see the frosted blades of grass;
this windy morning, i can hear
this whispered warning: winter’s near!

every
mountain lake i find
is a sight
to behold,
and offers a peace of mind
more precious than gold

There must be an up
For there to be a down;
Something must be lost
For something to be found;
There has to be chaos
If there is to be a plan;
There must be a woman
For there to be a man.

fiery autumn leaves
don’t warm my extremities,
but do warm my heart

I’m walking the Mesabi Trail;

up here, the hardwoods prevail.

Some maples are only now turning,

Though most of them look like they’re burning!

Once upon a time, there was nothing.
I mean, there was nothing but nothing.
In fact, there was so much nothing,
That that fact became something,
And once there was something,
It quickly exploded into everything.
