    About this ebook

    I write all of these poems, and for me, it is exploring my mind and transposing my thoughts into written words And, in so doing, I do get peace of mind.

    For I am the strolling wayfarer; leaving footprints in the sand Searching for what is my future; seeking what is already planned Nomadic as it is to some; to me it's just mind walking Thoughts worth searching for; I find by doing, not by talking

    For love of life will go on and on And songs of mine will be my life song

    My mind library is public and my thoughts are free. Enjoy and sing along with me.

      Chapter Four

      Preface

      What is really interesting is the fact that through three books of poetry, I can still find enough material to continue writing about traveling through the mind. I suppose and hope that this ability will go on for a long time.

      Poetry is still being written with the same casualness and ease. What I have also found is that my architectural design has come to me much more freely and a solution to a problem is more readily attainable. That is excitingly satisfying. Now one form of creativity seems to spark the other.

      I have dedicated this book to the guy in the mirror. I don’t really know totally who he is yet, but the image is becoming more and more clear with each passing day.

      Please enjoy this, the fourth book, as much as I have enjoyed creating it and now bringing it to you.

      Dovetailing

      I sit reposed

      with fingers clasped

      and intertwined

      receiving thoughts

      to fingertips

      and soon the words

      begin to gel

      and all the pieces

      happen to

      come together

      forming

      interlocking

      beginning

      a creation

      of heart and mind

      and when

      the task

      is complete

      I’ve become

      the better for it

      Poetry in Motion

      flame flickering and dancing in cozy cabin fireplace

      gull soaring and swooping before the sky’s blue face

      meteor shooting and slashing across inky night space

      motions leave one awestruck of nature’s amazing grace

      surf pounding and thrashing upon the rocky coastline

      springbok gliding and springing over the lea so fine

      hummingbird darting and hovering about the columbine

      rhythm of graceful motion shows nature’s poetic sign

      cloud drifting and changing patterns in the azure sky

      swan floating and sliding white regal head held high

      swallowtail alighting and flitting, lovely flutter-by

      thru motion poetry, nature’s miracles thrill the eye

      CONDUITS

      Pipes convey liquids

      Ducts move gases

      Wires propel impulses

      . . . conduits of energy

      Vessels convey blood

      Tubes move oxygen

      Fibres transmit messages

      . . . conduits of life

      conduit all your energies

      and your life

      will take
