The Soul in Me


Do you ever see wild animals?

I ran in the middle of Alaska snow

As long as I ran I did not know

There were always a wild creature

Soon waiting for me .

It could have been a moose who looked

As I ran by and turned and took

Another way always seemed best

Among the snow and quiet unrest

A moose is kind but unafraid

And has chased after me, many a day

Then there were the large ravens flight

Who ran and skipped and flew in-spite

Of seeing me just ahead

and never reasoned never dread

A red fox came by once and peeked

Then on his way with his swift feet

Snow brown bear in the distance

Bison’s caught some resistance .

If you venture to go running in Alaska terrain

Be prepared for anything from snow to rain

Embracing Darkness: A Journey Through Advent


Just sit with me in the darkness 

As Advent moves in.

You do not have to fix it,

Please, just listen in our silence.

Just sit with me,

in the darkness. 

Because someone sat with me,

I was ok,

the darkness soon faded away.

Scotland


If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

My family has roots

In a far away land

Where green is green

Among the sand

Of nearby shores

Surround the past

But the Celtic blood

Still runs the mast .

So the wind blew

Through open sea

And brought with it

A Celtic Me.

Forever Full Moon


Just outside my window 

The full moon lingers there 

Night after night the glowing stares

Into the silvery light it cast 

Cross the darkness the magic last 

As if to say , no matter what 

I will forever be , waiting in the dark 

Looking back to see 

You , looking for the full moon magic 

Across eternity

Remembering the Buffalo Soldier: An Eloquent Crimson Sunrise


I ran past and paused,

the crimson rise of the sun

gave honor to the Buffalo Soldier.

A moment of memory,

a moment of time,

a moment of the universe

casting crimson sign.

They are not forgotten,

they are still heard.

Poem


I gather my thoughts

As I hang the phone

Back to go quiet again

I think of our conversation

And become somber

Because now I worry

Why , because I hear the pain

Pain that should have never

Been your pain

Pain that should have never

Been my pain .

But it was and it still is

And we did not know

Until it was to late

To ask , why?

Here Comes the Sun


I loved my run yesterday. I felt strong and even the lone wild flower stood against the wood line and made it sparkle for attention.

The Encore of the Wind: A Poetic Composition by CMM (2024)


I have sat next to all the beginnings,

I have heard the rushing of the wisdom 

coming from the sea.

The wind calls out the encore 

against the rocks 

and it is me…

What brings you peace?

And Then I Said


How would you describe yourself to someone?
