The roots..remind me

The sunlight, she glides through the trees...and escapes...
Rays of  shiny freedom shine through the green leafy gold..
The wind does whisper secrets to the branches to hold..
The river faraway has a faint song on shuffle mode like on audio tapes
There is moss entwined on the trees... holding us close..
I look up in awe at the forest of mighty trees..touching the sky...close..
Until my foot stumbles on the journey of their networked roots...
Reminding me that it is the endurance of the sinewy roots...
The quiet roots that overcome the apathy of the mountain rocks, with persistence..
That make the trees of the Olympic stand tall.. in the sky with magnificence

Gossamer Lies

He weaves gossamer lies....
Intricate patterns, a web that held her
Hostage to the lies he told her..
Sometimes she knew his lies
And yet..she stayed... like he fooled her
For he was the only soul who knew her..
Like the fly in a spider web...She..His eyes

Ephemeral

Love is but eternal truth in a moment..
Love is but a momentary lie in eternity
You and I...I pause to think of us for a moment..
A moment in the past...a memory for eternity
