Within a pumpkin patch we find, A young and malleable mind. With questions that run as deep, As an endless imagination is wide. Oh to slow down and partake, In a simple game of fanciful thought. To relish in the sheer size of this pumpkin patch, And walk beyond a solid reference. Into what could … Continue reading In A Pumpkin Patch- Michael Erickson

Laugh, Sweet Harmony- Michael Erickson
Speak to me of harmony, As we step from the road of what was reality. Into a living, breathing furnace, Where milk and honey flow. As if time itself forgot to tick, And all of these counted moments mesh to one. Harmony exists in each broken twig, Connections flowing between rounded rock. And the world … Continue reading Laugh, Sweet Harmony- Michael Erickson
Magnolia Tree- Michael Erickson
In the midst of summer my heart stirs for spring, With its promise of summer to be. Oh energy of a growing world, How my inspiration does flow.

I seek … Continue reading Magnolia Tree- Michael Erickson

Find Me Among the Hoodoos- Michael Erickson
Search for me not in my old familiar places, I’ve fled this mild desk of shifting papers and familiar things. Through an open window and down a long winding road, Have I gone to look for that which man cannot create. I’ve descended a gradual incline, Into a mineral bath of cut and glistening gems. … Continue reading Find Me Among the Hoodoos- Michael Erickson
Ponder Existence- Michael Erickson
Leave me to ponder words of existence, For my voice has left upon the wind. Footprints lead me to the edge, As the known world ends before my eyes. What is left in the fading light is unknown, And there my thoughts now go. Let my skin feel a breeze move round the world, As … Continue reading Ponder Existence- Michael Erickson

I’ll never forget the dance of lilac blossoms, Tossed in a warm spring breeze. Their scent kissing me behind each ear, As I stood before a wide open world. With eyes squinted I saw as fields of alfalfa, And lines of swaying poplars blurred together. This moment bares an imprint upon my heart, As I … Continue reading Grandfather Poplar- Michael Erickson
