A touch of Venetian red
next to cobalt blue
beside a bold stroke
of chartreuse green
with burnt sienna
rounding out the scene -
a moment of moments.
The artist’s vision
captured in time and space
by watercolors,
holders of truth.
Every stroke
defining the artist,
transforming the future.
Not one can be taken back,
once applied.
Absorbed,
it blends itself
into the present
of shadows and light.
It is neutral and pure
this moment
and, it lasts forever.

Sometimes we end up in a place that is neither here nor there
A place filled with emptiness sorrow or despair
A moment in time and space that we do not quite understand
When those times occur, we may fall wherever we stand
Nevertheless, we must know that for every heart filled agonizing tear that we cry
For every moment that we think, there is no way we will make it, no matter what we try
For the times we lay regretting and longing to retract the decision we have made in the past
Believing that then and only then, would these troubling moments seize to last
In those moments we must not give up; we must have faith and try to understand
That even in despair,our prayers are heard, we haven't been forgotten, God has a plan
We must hold our heads high, and let the tears fall where they may
For blessed are the righteous we too shall have our day

the carpet of the forest soft beneath my feet
i listen to the chatter as two streams meet
to secrets of the wind whispered tree to tree
until i hear naught
nor do i see
free of thought
and self
a non-entity
amidst the wonder of the Given

As our spiritual journey unwinds
we all find ourselves intertwined
So what is your role
in the journey of my soul
What is the goal
and
the price of the toll
Just let me know which way to go
so i can grow

You get only one life, this is it!
This is not a trial run for another hit or miss
We all have but one chance to do it right
To make others happy, to give hope to life
So, do not terry, and never pout
This one chance will soon be out
Our lives are a blessing, use your time wisely
And when the end comes, you will be smiling
And if you do get to come back and try again
Everyone will remember you for what you have been
So, live your life as you wish
You get only one life, this is it!

I am the Green Man, some know me as Jack,
My presence is here, my season is back!
I begin on the great dance, that time has not changed
It brings out all life, before me, Nature arrayed.
I call to the tall trees, arise from your slumbers
Bring forth your leaves,
Let your children be without number.
I call to the wild plants, the old plants, the healers
Spread forth on the green earth,
Send out fruit, flower and feeler.
I call to my creatures, of fin, hoof and wing.
Let your children be free, let all your hearts sing.
I play my wild music, the primeval beat,
It calls to us, moves us all,
echoes through bodies,frees our minds and our feet.
I continue my dancing, and I am joined more and more
Where I pass, Nature answers-
Life sprouts where my feet fall.
As the growing continues, Spring lives now do join,
Their children will follow, will keep the earth,
Share the earth
Becoming one with each other.
When the fruits grow and ripen, my season will end,
Green life will die back, lie dormant-
Waiting for me and the signal I send.
I am the Green Man- ever brand new and old.
My arrival is Springtime, Autumn my end: I will hold
My breath, till the wheel turns, and I dance once again,
For I am the Green Man, and my life will not end.
