Come step upon another world, Faraway from the life you knew. Let us pass through space and time, Upon a line once so tangled. Bend with me and find yourself, Where the constellations are unknown. And we can run as children upon this rippling glass, To a place where time stops and death has no … Continue reading At Cosmos End- Michael Erickson

A Basin’s Call- Michael Erickson
Hush, can you hear their call? This ground speaks to my deepest parts, Oh Mother Earth that I was so wrongfully cleaved from- My blood rolls through these hills, Like secret streams that give life to everlasting trees.

Grooves- Michael Erickson
Fingertips playing over lined wood, Tracing memories long lost to time. Lounge upon a summer’s day, Breathing in the cool damp earth. Let the green grass whisper, Like the gurgle of a flowing stream. Ask yourself in the sudden still air, What was the secret of my youth? There if you can pay attention you’ll … Continue reading Grooves- Michael Erickson
Secret Cove- Michael Erickson
Find with me a secret cove, Sheltering from the storm outside. Beneath the bows of an ancient tree, Where I may lay my bones out to dry.

A Prayer For Green- Michael Erickson
As a child I stood by a rusting fence, Waiting for you to walk out your back door. There’d be a flash of while against black suspenders, And you’d be out the door with your metal cane. I’d stand there waiting to hear water run, Hiding behind leaves so wide they hid my face. You’d … Continue reading A Prayer For Green- Michael Erickson
Nature’s Tranquility- Michael Erickson
Stretch long theses hours with me, And drink in a bit of nature’s tranquility. The day is warm and scented green, Down lanes of dusted rock where no one’s been. We sing a lush song of quiet revere, While in the trees bees buzz lazily. The sky will stretch itself in an endless way, And … Continue reading Nature’s Tranquility- Michael Erickson
Go Away From Me- Michael Erickson
Go away from me, Beyond the hills of yonder mind. You have lost your way before my eyes, And I can see much you still will yet learn. Impetuous as youth you beg for an easier road, Old am I as one who has walked many paths. Go away from me, Into the unknown where … Continue reading Go Away From Me- Michael Erickson
Potential- Michael Erickson
What secrets wait to be unlocked, Within your woven depths? Between light colored strings and bands of fading night, Creation lies in wait. From silent corners of the mind and with fingers poised to roll, A single thread unwinds with thoughts and genesis begins. As a seed now sprouted, Only time will tell its end. … Continue reading Potential- Michael Erickson
Inspiration- Michael Erickson
I feel raw with the potential of a freshly opened mind, As a shutter drawn nigh from rusted years. Let ink run onto paper with my untidy scrawl, And bring me back to those places I once thought forgotten. My childhood does call to me, Inspiring work that I have to do. Open my minds … Continue reading Inspiration- Michael Erickson
