    cry so deep there would be no more tears
    nothing left to weep, envy or hate -

no more fears (2011)

Bad news, not today, quietude as might become you

2025

___

existential threats, anywhere, just not here today
shrieks, dying dreams, pending wars, anywhere
today, let all such calamities conciliate

surroundings of kinder thoughts and impressions
zephyrs gingerly wrestling with feather like leaves
wisping through trees, lessons in listening 

breezes mixed with gusts and swirls
snapping and squalling while healing
tingling touches upon the skin

nature calling in from branched perches
euphonious songs amplify rejuvenation
 moments too splendid for framing thought, ineffable
murmuring waters, eddying lakes, flowing brooks,
stilling glass ponds reflecting mirth and myths
stirring emotions of incandescent rapture

thinning air in the higher elevations affecting a lift off, or
a ponderous hoisting respective to the weighty moods of the carry
yet for today, no bad news in the way
