Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry.
There are moments in my life that are too wild and beautiful to be tamed or captured by words or sentences. Musical notes could do a better job at conveying the experience. D minor or C sharp major.
My mind replays the moments, alive with pentatonic scales and the taste of homemade apple cider, and pomegranate security. I smell the burning leaves of late October, and feel the smooth nose of my childhood Appaloosa, her dappled coat, and trusting eyes.
Sometimes the world, and all its goodness stupifies me, and leaves my spirit rocking gently in a cradle, where I know it's all going to be okay.
Wow, this is so good...and truth that shows there are some poems that are better left
unwritten, because the beauty they would try to depict would fall short.
Ah, but that such thoughts and memories could dominate our consciousness. As it is, the unpleasant memories, coupled with the current state of the world, keep us in states of stress.
