the sun flees the stage

the show fails with no star

the scene fades to black

–photo by me

in the arrogance

of our youth

we created god

in our own image

and consequently

kicked ourselves

out of the garden.

we were no longer

part of nature.

but i tell you

the truth about

us is marvelous:

we are nature

and what’s more–

we are

cutting edge

nature.

truth be told–

sometimes our problems

really do

go away

if we just have the patience

to wait long enough

i

love to

have coffee

in the morning

with mother nature;

she always reminds me

to live life in the moment

for the moment is all there is–

the future will never come to be

and the past is water under the bridge

–photo by me

though mornings break

and evenings fall

they never make

a sound at all

for clumsy dawn

and tipsy dusk

exist upon

the thinnest cusp

they’ll never know

the wondrous light

or undergo

the dark of night

but dwell in time

all of their own–

a murky kind

of twilight zone

–photo by me

Yea, though I walk

Through the valley

Of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

For thou art with me
