Smoky Hoss Poems

Intrinsically human
is the expressive urge;
to make the temporal timeless
to find rainbows
...

This day,
like all the days
that have ever preceded it,
starts with a rigid annotation,
...

He was the best influence
a boy could ever have,
right up there
alongside my dad.
...

Silver snowflakes fall
into the northern mystery,
so stark against the background
of the resilient evergreen tree -
...

The flames of autumn
burn briefly bright;
until the light of day gives way
to the dark of night-
...

It will all
just have to wait
until tomorrow - every thing -
For today is all I have, all the air
...

The teeming black waters
Of a wooded creek
Run amuck
To the waterfalls calling -
...

perhaps it'll pour down rain
at midnight.
or then again, could be
a smiling moon just may shine upon me bright.
...

Gentle flakes of snow larger than silver dollars
come decending slowly from heaven above unto earth below.
Nature stands motionless in deft admiration, for
here in the forest stillness is sublime.
...

(- these are the reflections that came to mind while I was looking at the painting 'Riddarfjarden in Stockholm' by Eugene Jansson,1898.
I simply wrote them down -my thoughts- just as they came to me.)
