Trading visions with Buddhist philosophy Sunrise is dog eared to long-distance runners Humpbacks writing courses of lateral moves Portraying HR with break heart openness Death takes a vacation with cultural centers Recognizing what most wrist watches have spoken I have lunch with Ocean City, Maryland We speak of Western PA, & White Tail Deer, resting on their own silence Understanding the shells people wear From rural Finger Lakes, hooknose salmon soar Into continuous eyes of the an endless shore Walking sticks, guide wonder into my cottage Listening to the inner languages of verse From deep southern neighborhoods of narrative Muses become priests of a controlled burn Sweeping the dirt floor of my cottage Discussing survival defense with limited editions Crawling in field grass observing white herons Where lives are completed here Putting an end to cellular phones Finishing my coffee, I think about payday And those highest levels of management Whom no one knows by trade… But by going through to the ceiling of His world Where He recalls every name that was hummed In a place where Presley and Joplin strums |

An interesting write, Lee. You always leave me with a fresh painting, a different brushstroke of life's palette. |

“Finishing my coffee, I think about payday And those highest levels of management Whom no one knows by trade… But by going through to the ceiling of His world Where He recalls every name that was hummed In a place where Presley and Joplin strums” I would love to frame this and hang it in my office!!

LeeJ "Muses become priests of a controlled burn Sweeping the dirt floor of my cottage Discussing survival defense with limited editions Crawling in field grass observing white herons Where lives are completed here Putting an end to cellular phones" One day I would love to sit down with you for hours, and talk...or just listen to the air! You are remarkable!  |

You continue to impress, lady! I always get this stream of consciousness feel from your work and yet it is linear and sharp, lucidly intelligent observations of heart. And yes, I've been reading you! (should tell you more often, huh?) sheesh Enjoyed. |

LeeJ Love this poem...:-) I live just south of the finger lakes (45 minutes from Watkins Glenn) This stanza rang a familiar bell in my head... "From rural Finger Lakes, hooknose salmon soar Into continuous eyes of the an endless shore Walking sticks, guide wonder into my cottage Listening to the inner languages of verse" thank you for the tone -------ice ><> |
