Welcome Weary Travelers
Welcome weary travelers
Come and take a rest
breathe a while
dream a while
before your hero's quest
Take some time
to stroll with me
and kindle what you love
of hope and peace
and deep release
Come lift your eyes above
Then sharpen skill and sword
and walk upon the way
of truth and life in fullest light
as love inflames your days
Breathe deep the depth of passion
Let flames ingulf your soul
O Live a life of passion
and meet your earnest goals

Field Observations
When was the last time you strolled through the woods?
When was the last time you lay down in the grass and looked up, watching the clouds sail on by?
Went on a picnic? Or watched the birds sail from tree to tree?
Or listened to the crickets sing as the wind russles through the leaves?
Or been outside on a cold day, smelling the fresh air?
Or smelled the smoke of a distant oak wood fire?
Or you came inside, feeling the warmth, smelling a fresh baked apple pie?
Or smelled the perfume of your own true love?
Sit down in a field and wake up to the wonders around you. Expand.

The Road To Autumn
I walk beneath a canopyof dying leaves
Still clinging to the trees
Down a path of golden memories,
I follow into autumn where it leads
