September Apples- Michael Erickson

September 5, 2021September 4, 2021 / inkowlme / 1 Comment

A fullness has settled within the air, Comfortable and familiar to the touch. Like a lazy River running, Smoothing stones to polished gems. I feel the growth of summer culminating, As bows droop under handfuls of sun warmed produce. Now I’d the time to drink honey with the bees, And thank each tree, bush, and … Continue reading September Apples- Michael Erickson

Summer Monsoon- Michael Erickson

August 22, 2021August 21, 2021 / inkowlme / Leave a comment

I wait for moments like these, Where nature seems to muster strength, And forces older than humanity itself, Converge upon this place. When summer heat turns to furious cold, Heavy clouds gather over leathery ground, And all our yearning thoughts turn skyward, As the very sky tears itself apart. We lay quietly in the night, … Continue reading Summer Monsoon- Michael Erickson

Dream Upon Dream- Michael Erickson

August 15, 2021August 14, 2021 / inkowlme / 3 Comments

Wake me from the darkness of my mind, And lead me to places more wholesome. Where summer sun no longer cracks the earth, And causes all things to crumble to dust. Walk upon slate stone between flowering bushes, And vibrate with the industry of bees. I need to break free of these dark cobweb thoughts, … Continue reading Dream Upon Dream- Michael Erickson

Days Gone By- Michael Erickson

August 8, 2021August 7, 2021 / inkowlme / 2 Comments

Do you wonder at days gone by, When worlds were younger with mountains so steep? The skies a bit more alien than this sure blue, Or perhaps throats long silenced now sing? A time where man was in its infancy, And the world beyond an open door lay waiting to be explored. This is my … Continue reading Days Gone By- Michael Erickson

Magnolia Tree- Michael Erickson

July 18, 2021July 18, 2021 / inkowlme / 2 Comments

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. Now amidst the dry summer heat, And battle for survival intensifies. Cracked earth do I walk upon, And dust swirls as life faces mounting odds. I seek … Continue reading Magnolia Tree- Michael Erickson

In This Grandfather Garden- Michael Erickson

July 11, 2021July 11, 2021 / inkowlme / 5 Comments

Follow the laughter of this babbling brook, As we step from our busy road of life. Upon carefully laid stones, Wreathed by soft thyme and lavender. Wipe the dullness from your tired eyes, And bask in the cool green air about us. You are now in the Grandfather Garden, Where peace dwells among the lilac … Continue reading In This Grandfather Garden- Michael Erickson

July – Eugenia

July, oh, July under a marmalade sky sultry laden days nature struts her ways with a riot of color dotted here and there trees dressed in their green a happy frog in-between napping in dew drops July, oh, July under a cerulean sky ever so lovely day in and day out © Eugenia Hoffman Eugenia … Continue reading July – Eugenia

Within Viridescent Depths-Michael Erickson

June 27, 2021July 4, 2021 / inkowlme / Leave a comment

Softly speak through murmuring leaves, As our feet pick their own paths. Beneath nodding blossoms, And swaying stalks of a living sea. We are two among millions, Burning with a star’s intensity. Yet glowing a lovely green. Dappled shadows play across skin, Covered in soft down. Our wick is young and ever pulling, From our … Continue reading Within Viridescent Depths-Michael Erickson

Summer Renewal- Michael Erickson

August 1, 2020August 1, 2020 / inkowlme / 1 Comment

Renew this flesh of mine upon the heat of summer, That my bones may be warm until winter’s end. In the passion of a setting sun, Let me ignite my soul that it may live on. I cannot forget the pleasure of cool water, As it courses across my worn and dried out feet. Or … Continue reading Summer Renewal- Michael Erickson
