First Flowers/Fence Project

HAPPY VALLEY FENCE PROJECT

This commission has truly been a labour of love for me. After eight months of finish work on this house and O'hana I was given the opportunity to create and build this giant 14 foot trellis for Jade vines to climb. This was a security and privacy addition for dividing the pool area. The multiple owners have been both patient and gracious throughout this challenging project. I will very much enjoy watching the process of growth in the coming months.

MINDFULNESS OF SOUL

Once, someone stirred me

in a direction never before spun

It felt so beautiful, so right,

to wake up to my Passion

I thought that it would last forever

Another Illusion !

Passion and love alone

don't seem to hold together

the reflecting mirrors of familiarity ~

that experience,

mindfulness and maturity,

enable us to see !

So, if the soul of a lifetime of searching

would or could

duplicate the presentation,

I would never try to pin it down or own it,

but let our love flow with the joy

of every present waking moment,

that was my good fortune to behold

with gratitude...

MEMORY

Desolation's desert.

I'm here with shadows of your voice,

your lips as mirage, now trembling.

grass and dust of distance

have let this desert bloom

with your roses.

Near me breathes the thin air that's your kiss.

It smolders,

slowly - slowly, musk of itself.

And further, drop by drop,

beyond the horizon, shines on Time's face,

touched it...

So caressing

that although it's shadow parting's morning

it's as if night's come,

bringing you to my brave arms.

NIGHT

Intoxicating Jasmines

thick and sweet

wafting perfume

tendrils wrap

around my Dream Sleep -

kind lovers

caring tenderness

sensual distractions

harmonic rapture

loving futures

~


Traded Waking Dream -

cricket drone

drunken geckos

rustling mangoes

dense avocados

dancing with the

music of the wind

~

Shadows of the moon

remembering -

lost loves

pain body stories

wishful pasts


thinking...


time moves on

life waits patiently

for

true waking
