“Stonehenge” by Tom Tiedeman
mortise and tenon
sacrosanct joinery
mystic of power
conveyed by a secret
artisanal oath upon
female and male
conjugation that
beautiful passion
of natural biology
lending its form
to the function of
structure who wants
of a durable union
a coupling contrived
for the useable ages
fine fitted precision of
desert-set pyramids
sarsen stone henges
Homeric sleek galleys
the chair and the desk
where this gray-bearded
stiff-fingered poet
declaims all and sundry
his odd bits of trivial
knowledge that seem
best recorded if only
in doggerel verses
before they’re forgotten

bold
stone
dwelling
integrates
function and form in
organic outgrowth of landscape
employing remarkable cantilevered design
wright had an uncanny sense of genius loci
parts in harmony with the whole
entailed with nature
continuous
presence
that
lives
modernity given expression
artistic design reimagined
a philosophy of function
schooled architects painters
and sculptors in industry
rendered a new generation
of socialized landscapes
cosmopolitan cradles bore
creatures of brash western
civilization whose stark
unambiguous features grew
into a twentieth century
blunt iconography marking
the civilized west until
finally running its gray austere
course it gave rise to return
of postmodern aesthetics
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be
