In the PRESENCE of Summer...
Join a daily celebration of poetry and the arts. This blog gives voice to the academics, the arts, creativity, expression and the pursuit of TRUTH. All art forms, all academic interests are timeless reflections and revelations of the human condition. Passion, poetry and the arts fuel the creative fires that move me to expression and deep gratitude. My published book of poems, THE WIND AND THE WILLOW is available at Barnes and Noble and online booksellers nationally and internationally.

A delightfully spent Sunday in the PRESENCE of Summer...
I, as a LOTUS
I, as a LOTUS
earth and the gift of sweet libation
waters that fill the soils with its elixir of grace
beheld be the flow of streams, rivers, brooks
pools of mud blessedly receptive, receiving
the gift of water, earth, sun, and PRESENCE
from depths emergent be the rooting, the bud, the bloom
a LOTUS, from muddy waters arising
so too, I, from muddy waters, from tears known
a bloom of beauty, bounty and BEING.
