Downy, Soft Clouds Gently Coercing The Intense Rays Of An August Sun To Travel In Practiced Patterns.
Downy, soft clouds gently coercing
the intense rays of an August sun
to travel in practiced patterns.
Shadow and Light slowly dancing
with the red rock spires as their partner.
It is only thru the benevolent nature
of the Earth Mother that such joyous
sights are revealed...dennis
"Dol Guldur"
Land of legends and ancient secrets.
Darkness rules the land with evil intent.
Light slowly erodes the darkness;
Revealing the art of wind and the sculpture of nature .
Last seen somewhere in the vast area of "The Swell" central Utah. Enjoy the story ...d
The light of the forest.
Calling out to the travellers
with a gentle voice,
in rhythmic tones.
Journey to the forest.
Trust your senses
along with the forest song
strolling thru your mind.

Snowflakes
A snowflake drifts slowly
and inevitably down onto the
white blanket of winter.
The heat of the sun transforms that snowflake
into a drop of liquid blue,
like a caterpillar to moth.
The snowflake spills into the trickel
as the trickel rushes toward the stream
with the eventual destination ever present .
The destination is not the lake like you assumed
,it is instead the eyes of the lucky few
to see the snowflake pass over the lip of the
green moss covered cascade.. dennis
The End...
The seasons come and go as the months turn from spring into fall.
The fresh buds of spring have turned into the verdant green of early summer and then to the vibrant colors of fall.
The final bit of life energy is transferred from these leaves into the host tree that they have shared for all of these months.
They gave their all and now the time has come.
The end of life so the tree may live on.
This is the way of nature.
The way of life.
The life as it is intended to be....dennis
Sunset is the end of the day.
It brings a sense of completion
to the wanderers in attendance.
And yet sunset is not the end, but
the beginning. The start of the next phase.
It is a birth as much as a death. ….dennis
Faith needs no symbol.
It is by definition a fervent belief that a human holds in their soul. Still ,we have continually objectified "faith" and built incredible businesses around the symbol of faith that has no price..
I hold my faith very close to my soul and need no false gods..
Still I do love architecture...dennis
September nights changing from warm to cool.
September days changing from long to short.
September leaves from green to gold.
The September of our days confirms natures need for constant innovation.
September urges us to begin to adapt to the coming sleep…

“The egg precedes the hatchling.
The hatchling cradled in the egg.
Alien shapes and forms are not unique,
except to the alien viewer.
You and I are the aliens here.”…dennis
Dragons
The night can hold many dragons.
As a child, they live under the bed.
As a teen, they hide in school tests.
As a adult, they can hide in the sky.
The building clouds on a spring evening very quickly turn into giant behemoths that spew fire and scream at the earth with voices that thunder across the plains and into the ears of the adults huddled safely fearing dragons.
Well perhaps not fearing, but certainly aware that dragons are out there,
lurking in the soft fluffy clouds of spring.
The weather is a part of nature we all need to be aware of and respect...dennis
We all walk through life not really observing the view. We put one foot in front of another as fast as we can. The destination is our goal.
I suggest, that is not always the best path. I submit that the journey is the goal. The destination is the result of the journey.
I seem to be traveling a bit slower on my journeys recently. Taking time to observe the steps in front of my feet, but not forgetting to peek back at the steps I have just past. This journey of life is not designed to be all about the result or the destination. You see, the destination is death and the result is similar. Life is, in its nature, a journey as opposed to a destination.
Live your life a bit slower and look for the forest bridges to cross. When you reach the bridge in the forest, stop and look back. Stop and look forward and thank God for the beauty of life and the wonderful experiences we encounter on the journey.
May your destination exist beyond your horizons.....dennis
