Every branch a witness, To terra firma’s fitness. Mahogany mansions day and night, Court gallant gatekeepers of flight. Twigs and branches build castles to time and space, As grateful creatures rest in their embrace. Trees, silent guardians of nature’s soul, Their deep roots, body armor to the soil.

The colors of water – A Poem

When great whales surfaced for air for the very first time, When pelicans and parakeets and penguins, Found rest for their feet in Havilah’s prime. And, it was the dayContinue reading “The fifth day – A Poem”

Slow dancing with the Sun – A Poem
The Sun at Dawn’s gate opens To a rainbow of earthly gardens. Chandelier cotton clouds sparkle, Slow dancing with the Sun at noon. Sunset lifts its copper shield towards the horizon, Where the silken shadows of the deep – the night, falls.
