Piper's Adventures
Walking through the forest
contemplating heaven
sun filtering through the clouds
a beautiful intercession
A doorway appears
reflections in the light
past, present, and future
all within sight
In this perfect moment
love radiates from within
sending hugs and kisses
through the wind
The golden leaves fade
door is closed
time is reset
leaves decompose
Seasons change
fall to winter
soul rejoices
in nature’s splendor

Water flows
cleansing my soul
the blessings of the day
shimmer in the water hole
Encouragement from a new friend
over a cup of tea
answer to a prayer
sitting with me
Feeding the hungry
with a hot meal
listening to a story
life is quite real
Sitting with the sick
holding their hand
healing of the spirit
grace in command
Admiring the beauty
breathing clean air
gift of nature
reflections everywhere
Walking home
sparkles in my eyes
sun is shining
puffy clouds in the sky
Meditation over
spirit filled with glee
listening to the falls
grateful to be free

In the midst of the cobweb
there is a pocket of dreams
interpretations of life
trapped in a screen
Thoughts holding a conference
determining what holds power
discussions begin
at the midnight hour
Emotions assist thoughts
as the leaves glide in the wind
colors represent feelings
the veil is thinned
Red representing rage
at things that are unfair
feeling trapped
caught in a snare
Others leaves without color
representing death
is it all over
at the last breath
Yellow leaves
representing life
hope and love
defeating the strife
Morning comes
dew on each thread
sparkling diamonds
there is nothing to dread
Joyful thoughts
rule this day
feeling love
protected by a sun ray

Euphoria in the night
regurgitating tales of old
friends gather
in the autumn cold
Hot apple cider with rum
a homemade drink
gnarl in a tree as a tray
toasting as the mugs clink
Lighting sparklers
dancing in the night
a squirrel joining in the fun
causing a fright
Gathered in blankets
ghost stories are told
of devils appearing
with promises of gold
The moon is full
as the revelers make their way home
filled with joy
allowing imaginations to roam

In the storm there is a melody
encapsulating my heart
consecutively woven
a brilliant piece of art
Raging feelings
loneliness with each lightening strike
fighting for suvival
with all my might
Why can’t I see you
or feel your presence
voice as loud as thunder
you are not a rememberance
Becoming part of the rain
flying in the wind
dropping into the ocean
yearning to send
Living each moment
feeling the pain
searching for you
hoping to gain
Reassurance comes
in the form of a rainbow
getting closer
time is slow
Meditation over
never alone
you are always with me
my spirit has grown

The vestige of my soul
is hidden within a mask
showing joy or sorrow
is too much to ask
Living in the world
unknown to others
blending in without knowing
who are my brothers
Always being watched
freedom is gone
trapped in a matrix
feeling like a pawn
Making a bold choice
to live in the light
show myself
soul getting bright
Reaching out
giving a helping hand
comforting others
across the land
Meditation over
in a beautiful place
blessings are abound
gifts of grace

The star spangled matrix
lit up the night
souls spidered into the crevices
out of sight
A figure hovers
with deep resolve
swindle a soul
in which to evolve
The figure is empty
filled with hate
wanting to love
before it’s too late
Into the matrix
the figure searches each room
finally finding an unguarded soul
determined to cause doom
The soul fights
there is fire within
the figure strikes
with an evil grin
A light appears
an angel in the mist
striking his sword
the figure begins to hiss
Hurled into the darkness
the figure diminishes
blinded by love
the figure is finished
Love wins the day
the souls emerge again
embracing each other
for the matrix a win

The scene is grisly
blood where the corpse lays
yet a certain beauty appears
as the light begins to play
On this cold night
with snow on the ground
the wind is eerie
making a whistling sound
The corpse is
placed on the table
the heart is removed
and given a label
Before being stored
the heart gives a beat
flying through the air
down the street
Through the sky
feeling the need
there is a calling
answering with great speed
On another table
a dead heart is removed
the beating heart placed
dancing to the groove
Death in one place
loved ones filled with grief
another place has life
prayers of relief
A spooky beauty to it all
we are all related
connected in life and death
love is inflated

Out of the volcanic fissure
the ghost arose
searching for conversation
everywhere it goes
Matching opponents
in lengthy debates
subjects range from politics
to what was just ate
Coming across a silent one
deep in thought
ghost is mesmorized
and spoke naught
A smile on his face
as the meditation ended
looking at the ghost
he felt splendid
Asking the ghost
about the spirt world
it is happy or sad
content or in a twirl
The ghost replied
it can be any
filled with want
or a land of plenty
Fire and ice
twist and turns
much like life
what is yearned
Adventure continues
as the ghost floats away
exploring this realm
each day

Halloween night
dressed in a costume
stole some candy
hitting my friend with a broom
With intense emotions
he cast a spell
wishing me to be a frog
in the soil to dwell
I gave a bloodcurdling scream
as the spell came to fruition
everything was gone
except my intuition
Dirty and covered in mud
eating a fly
jumping around
feeling quite spry
Along comes a dog
taking me in his mouth
struggling to be free
afraid this going south
Let go
thrown under a fence
trying to breathe
the air is dense
Finding my friend
mother said to change me back
croaking an apology
using great tact
At home
filled with relief
gave all candy to my friend
small price to stand on two feet
