Krakow Alive

ByRick Ellsmore

My feet
Clothed in
Gray Converse
My eyes
Bathed in
Beauty
Surrounding
My senses
My heart
Full from
My time
with Felipe
My Brazilian
Son

The city
It’s ground
Alive with
Rich history
Feeling the
Generations past
The richness
Of medieval times
Coming through
In the castle
Archer stations
Polish lure
Of a dragon
A people
Hardy and proud
Destroyed many
Times over
Tenacity serving
As a
Guiding light

I’m alive here
The Earth
Vigorously surviving
Embracing me
On a spiritually
Deep level

A simple life
Available to all
Surrounding beauty
The call
To my
Hungry
Searching
Soul

  • Totems

    ByRick Ellsmore

    Totems Pulsating The energy field Drawing me open My essence On red alert Sensating The welcoming Wave Of intertwined Connection The mountainside Luxurious green The early rains Bringing forth Spectacularness Large rock families Spiking the horizon Banding together In ruggedness They stand Erect and strong Guardians of Their surroundings Self-protecting Spikes sharpened Awaiting any Attack…

  • Hot Lava

    ByRick Ellsmore

    White candle Sitting next To the fire Wick alit Slowly running Pushing tenderly Over the rim Pouring down Onto the Stained wood table Building a Luxurious reservoir Lava running wild Out of the mountain top Pushing onward Slowly oozing Towards the sea Blindly consuming Everything in the path Unaware and focusing On the present movement…
