Of Nature....2

Everything that is rich
turns me into
a possessive admirer
and what comes of Nature
I call my own and mine.
It is nature's way
to simply be 
and be giving
of itself
and let things be.
Here I am standing
amid plenty
trying to pull
things to me
and it now
appears so
utterly foolish.
To pull is to fool.

Of Nature..

Hurries gone past
I stand contented
not needing to move
needlessly
taking in 
Nature's pace
unhurried
as shadows lengthen
I look around
to find
things setting their
own order
and I too belong 
there
in the scheme of nature
becoming quiet
and quieter.

Being deserted...

It isn't easy
to stand
amid a slideful of
soil and rocks,
even to get a toehold.
When all hope
seems to leave
behind heaps
of bared bones
and tangled vines
I trust my feet
to carry me
through 
all the turmoil
to foot hills.
What use the peaks
when you need
the water of life
to run through
dry deserts?

smoothly...2

The beauty of the dry thick bark
blends so smoothly
with the tender green
that sprouts with the rains
and freshness descends
lightly
from the skies
into my veins
and almost overflows
through the loins.
I am enthralled
by the stillness
and smoothness of it 
all
and want to hold
it in my being
for eternity
just like the skies.

On my own....9

I knew
things could never
be smooth
in this rough and ready world
that prides itself
on smooth talking
and smooth sailing
and smart deals.
And so ready I was
and ready I am.
To be tossed and tumbling
cursed and crawling
shamed and shirking.
It's a matter of time
and patient bearing
before everything
passes out
and I keep moving.

Across..1

To get into the thick
of things
known and unknown
I don't want to 
carry
any baggage
of things 
that have grown
their weight
simply by adding
regret and grief
to the bygone.
I want to strip 
off all pretensions
and perfumery
and just stand
naked 
as I learn to 
accept myself
and its risks. 

Smoothly...

Aleksandr Fess, model: Stasia Shpits

Smooth is the light
and smooth is the touch
of the pearls 
that I hold in 
the necklace
that sits smoothly
on my nape
as I circle 
my breasts
smoothly
with my hand
and the curves of my
body
smoothly drape
the sensations
that drop from my mind
into my space.
