These are wonderful! The first bird looks like he’s singing his heart out, and the last one looks like he just said, “Harumph.”

  Lol. The first one is such a good singer and that last one hadn’t found his voice yet.

Cryptic

Is the writing on the wall so cryptic?Graphic images depict rageflames of dissonanceyoung men bleeding at their own handscompassion incapacitated. A sad awakening for a society fixatedon rights and privileges, dominating culture excluding the nurtureof humanity, or preservation of life. How can we continue to closet our children’s pain – their vitality oozing – hopelessly […]

Needing a Sign

Restlessness accompanies meon this sojourn today –unfazed by ripe redbelly of robin,or shimmering emeraldof breeding merganser’s crown. My lens seeks out decay –rotting wood, darkened cavities,as if my soul craves reassurancethat life persists even where deathhovers – I need a sign Discontent, I move on-drive the river roadsnail’s pace – praying forsomething to shakethis malaise […]

Peace is Present

Infernal trek!Wasted, mindless daysthese chains of self-reproach Will I never reachyearned for peace? Carry this burdeninto the wind,feet shufflingeyes skyward Stalwart treesobserve my passage,birds offer accompaniment,sun’s warmth charms Nature intervenes –peace is present. (My image)
