    My feet are wet from stepping in a puddle
    I could not see, because the drive way is dark
    shrouded by woods and the thick smell of moss
    I walk, with thoughts imbellished upon imagery
    that has weaved itself into this night air
    I can see the dim light at the end of the way
    woodsmoke utters distraction as I stop
    to stare at the existence of everything
    simply nothing

    I make my way home

    Clouds brought with them a cold breeze, rain!
    There was no shade to play under
    Walking through the drizzle
    Like nothing out of the ordinary
    I feel ordained by something great when I stand
    Here amongst these old bodhi
    There knowledge is formed in the rigidity
    Of there twisted bodies
    How pleased I am the seasons are changing

    A joy to see you return,
    with the changing seasons.

    May the stars shine light
    on the damp fertile earth,
    beneath your feet.

    There is a stand of trees
    Sitting innocently within the forest,
    Foliage drifts lifeless to the floor
    Rain pelts the green backs of ferns
    This will be the last month I spend in this place

    Again I will fly in the heavens
    Where I know I do not belong
    I will see the whites of gods eyes
    Captured in fields of snow where I will wander
    Unsure of anything, just the way I like it
    Only enticed to follow the sun

    I am sure I will see you there in my thoughts

    (thank you sylvanlightning I am happy to return)

    I think that this one is absolutely stunning. I LOVE reading stuff I can relate with, and I relate with this one. I say, good job; it's hard to convey what you are feeling, and you succeeded.

    murder of crows
    pressed against the back of my mind
    how they moved in the rain
    one landed on the van, we could hear his feet scrap
    like tap dancing or the sound of water
    falling from the sky

    I read and drank tea all afternoon

    (Thank you AshtonsMom, I appreciate your words)

    I walked to the side of a small pond
    To fill a bucket of water
    Instead I stood still and listend
    To its endless movement
    Waterfall

    sounds of piano
    so delicate I could possibly cry
    a mediation of my heart
    where there is nothing but memories
    of the people I love
    I could laugh at this cliche

    (this poem can be for you ashtonsmom, you can read more of my poetry on this website, www.exiledpoets.bravehost.com, my work is under redhawk)

    I have been asked to take time
    to walk beside a friend
    so we may share words
    a thousand dragon flies sputter
    from the edge of our toungues
    we may discover the ideas behind
    companionship

    Young tree roots cling
    to the edge of a barren stump
    life perpetuates through death
    foliage goes from green to shade
    to silhouette
    as I hitch hike slowly
    on the side of the road

    I have a friend who seeks the relevance of hidden poetry
    Out amongst the people she serves in a coffee shop
    Desperately the dissatisfaction of her heart fails everytime
    She looks into there eyes

    To be apart of, what does it mean?
    To find the stillness of all things, what does this mean?

    Pen scraps the gentle or violent words of this hidden verse
    This magic of all things
    Etching the fine defintition of each thing percieved
    Light, dark through letters that form
    Understanding
    Bent natures, forged personalities
    Creativity
    Creating
    Created
    Creation throught the soft written lines
    Of all things
