Ode to my Valentine


I look into your eyes of steel blue and I see your soul looking back at me, smiling. Your hair is glowing with silver irredescent lights reminding me how long your spirit has graced this world And I count my blessings for the love we share, so priceless and rare. You reach over to pull me close like sweet sixteen lovers and we are dancing in the moonlight on the beach again, without a care ...it's just you and me and the moonlight, waves engulfing us in their power as our hearts beat in unison. My mind slips away to beautiful timeless places as your strong arms balance me tenderly, our step gliding in the sands of earth and time.

A Narrow Chasm that leads to Antiquity


The narrow rock spires reaching its endless peaks to heaven in wanton of the escaping sun. Shadows in the narrow passageway from desert valley to hidden ancient city below keep the rocky earth cool to the touch as hands gently kiss it as they pass. A glimpse of pink rock flirts with the sojourners' eyes through the narrow dark cleft, inviting souls to partake of her rosy hue and warmth. But do not hasten your journey into this hidden world. Rather, enjoy the mystery the shadows whisper of hidden tales from countless ages. Drink from the cup of wisdom that echoes from ancient souls whose imprint is indelibly etched into the spiring stone.

Mysterious Ocean Night Spirits

 moonrise opens portal At night when the sun sets a new world appears. Magical spirits unveil their forms in faded moon or sunlight. They are shy and only show themselves to those who are daring enough to flirt with night’s portal, the doorway to other worlds. Walk to a vantage point safe enough from crashing waves to watch and wait. I like to choose a high point on a cliff so I can look down and far out onto the water but still see the sun, moon and stars in all their glory. As soon as the sun drops below the horizon the moon gives its farewell kiss as they pass each other in the heavens. It’s at this moment the doorway opens and all the magical spirits enter earth time and space to frolic in the shadows of night.

Summer Breeze flirting with the mysterious night spirits at the ocean’s edge. This is one of my secret places where I go to commune with God’s creation and to receive spiritual inspiration. There is only one other person who knows where this secret place is located, and that is my life and travel partner Cephas.
