Step Into The Light

Life is a finite journey into everlasting light--

An array of moments on the tapestry of time.

Let the good write memories upon your heart--

Your unique footfalls across muddy fields of life.

Step Into The Light

Heart Song

When chasing rainbows in your life,

Persevere down road less traveled

And you’ll discover that pot of gold

Has all along been your own heart.

That being so, when odyssey ends,

Put right all troubles born of regret

And resolve to live your passions

With all your heart until last breath.

Life After The Flood

Prairie Melodies

Discover music in windswept prairie straw,

Hear echoes of solitude in hawk's call on high,

Find repose in raindrops battering red mesa

And rhapsodies of wind in tenacious piñon stand.

Lend ear to crescendo of flowers at playa shore,

Then consider prairie melodies with mindfulness.

Let said age-old harmonies reach into your heart

And connect your spirit to songs of the universe.

Age-old Melodies
(Cooper on the Llano near Clovis, New Mexico USA)

Yippie-Kay-Yay!

For tried-and-true frolic with fleet pronghorn

Get into waist-deep prairie on a cloudy day,

Respect serpent in grass also cactus thorn,

Then, loose heart and soul, yippie kay-yay!
