Welcome to my page! Thank you so much for your kind visit. May you be carried to heaven's heights and and be submerged in earth's passions while you linger here.
The poem below was written about my work by my dear friend Everwind Rising. I have adopted it as the theme for my page.

Tenchi
("tenchi" is Japanese for "heaven and earth")
Have you ever seen the rise
of transparent wings
(set against the azure heavens)
filtering shafts of scintillating sun?
Or felt their rushing currents
while lost awhirl in featherless flutter
wanting not for worded winds?
Have you heard choirs
of ten thousand cicadas
permeate, with searching verse,
the cadence of cloistered earth
and layer life’s lyrics
upon the evening’s every breeze?
The poem below was written for me by Bunny, (Cupcrazy)-- a truly great friend!

She Is
she sings to me
with notes from fingers
playing cords of words
delivered with harmony
oozing concern through
rising crescendos of
thoughtfulness
and I am rocked gently
in friendship's melody
like a babe in a cradle
with newborn eyes
seeing only the good of man
and the music of care
that survives only in
the souls of a precious few
her laughter needs no volume
for eyes shine loudly
of humor and spirit
twinkling in reflecting pools
of limitless intelligence
were creativity colors
each mood with radiance
and she gives from within
what others would not part
with outside,
she is ten thousand
cicadas
lighting up my life
with brilliance
bringing beauty
into all the empty spaces
she is tender as night
and the warmth of day
and my world is better
simply because
she is...
This is another amazing piece penned for my by my sweet friend, Bunny.

Ten Thousand Cicadas
Hum, strum of wrung Sages
waiting to molt their childhood play
by your hand, ten thousand cicadas:
you, who reaches for Oracle
on bark of a singing tree
in cloudless consciousness
of this new sky
eyeless eel of an egg, waited for you
to drag mountains, plains and earth
with your pen, to uncover Socratarian
secrets:
touch me with your clean hands,
go ahead, peel long years of labor
from this panting pitch from dark
for I was hypnotized by laughter,
by love, by life
and forgot I meant to write down
these dreams of parchment fine wings
held like a gem in earth
that would have me sing to the world
that we must pen all our passions
you tremble my trees with your soulful song
that quivers leaves and air with frenetic reason
to have Beautiful sung like praises
on unfolded wings… such passionate pen, my friend
rings with proud riverbed groove gratitude
