Blissful Ignorance (+1)

Before I knew the answers

life was one big question

Wonder hid round every turn

laughter as my Muse

 

As answers came the questions left

each day like that before

Laughter but an echoed wish

 wonder lost — unfound

 

(Villanova University: April, 2024)

 

 

Colorado

 

I love it so

but stay away …

the mountains

prairies and streams

 

Each morning

the magic unveiling again

each night

a sky covered in dreams

 

I love it so

but stay away …

the cry of the wolf

in the snow

 

A warning to transients

skimming the top

of a landscape

— they’re never to know

 

(Leadville Colorado: March, 2021)
