Exploring the Tenth Dimension

Other dimensions

Outside YouTube video about the other dimensions.

Haiku

sticky spider web

vibrating in the sunlight

captures all who watch

red-shoulder hawk soars

weaving spirals high above

binds my feet to earth

While Waiting

I was waiting, watching, wondering

The red-tail was floating in flat circles

her feathers fashioned full against the pale blue sky

A sudden shift softly sent the silky sailer soaring higher

then, quickly a downdraft dive

deceptively delicate, demanding her full attention

Talons extended, wings held high
she touched down briefly
then glided low and disappeared slowly across the scrub

My stance shifted sideways

and without moving a feather

took a step

stood on the wind

and went where I was wondering

The Cypress Forest

(The Frozen Ballet)

They once swayed to a fanciful ballet

bending at the wind's pleasure,

limber and willing to follow every measure.

Now, dusted with a rusty algae

wind-polished to a silver sheen

they are twisted, and left to lean

in an orchestrated direction

of random, frozen, perfection.

The Crystal Castle

Rising in all its splendor

from molten depths once rendered,

the stone is forged and lifted.

A mighty shield held high and strong,

with a victor's cypress crown.

Far down below,

with secrets they know

the waves caress the rock.

And the waves caress the rock.

The cold waters lick

and randomly pick

the solid, crystal locks.

Too soon, this proud fortress

will be taken by the mistress

with each sweet and salty kiss

of the wicked waves.

Washing and playing

transforming and spraying,

until this rocky cliff

lies on the shore,

-- once more.

Golden Web

The golden web

ties the branches

to the sun

and binds me

to the path

as I watch the sticky

handiwork, shimmer

and ride the sweet vibrations

of the afternoon breeze.
