Deep dark rainforest
Man-eating Venus flytrap
Silently waiting
Pain takes many forms
Sting, throb, burn, fog, can’t hold still
Grabs body, heart, mind
Move across the world
New job, make friends, scraping by
What we’d do for love
Waves crashing ashore
Wind guiding sailboat to port
Natural power
Whistle tweets puck drops
Sticks crack skates slash coaches shout
Slap shot horn blares goal
Twisted cozy warmth
Impossibly twisted up
Perfect morning sheets
White glow high and low
Double beauty of full moons
Calm lake reflections
Black ink sky no stars
Hidden mountains lost landscapes
Lifeless new moon night
Wild wrecks with fury
Contained enchants with beauty
Conundrum of fire
