AUTUMN’S ARRIVAL

Blue water tongues carve mountain sides

Pure singing into ocean tides

Rich ruby, amber, golden gems

Now carpet mother nature’s den

The living light that scraped the sky

Is cloaked in autumn’s cooling sigh

The beasts of warmth and chill alike

Prepare for winter’s bitter bite

Tick tocking towards a season’s death

Life shall renew in springtime breath

I HAVE AN UNDECIDED FACE

I have an undecided face

Genetic pool swims tranquil grace

In beauty there is power held

Refuse, abuse, it's mine to weld

With punctured peace from thieving looks

Comes etch-a-sketch that’s roughly shook

Class 101 art amateur

Distorted lines, caricature

Slip sliding eyes will never yield

On cartoon face, protective shield

SAVAGE SURVIVAL

You know nothing about the savage survival

No praying to God in foot stomping revival

I know you say that you listen but do you hear?

And tell me what does it take to open your fear?

I always swat away words of sorrow from sin

You need to buckle your mouth until you step in

As you wake every morning to new light that’s born

What life have you salvaged that’s ripped crumpled and torn?
