Dream Landscape Art

Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  The damaged and the broken ones; all rooted in the past,
	live life the way it always was, from their first day to their last.
	Motes of dust in beams of light, in the darkness of this day,
	we tip the hat and give a nod, for the truth we can’t convey.

	Everything is real, but nothing matters, anyway.
	Where life is only what must be, from the cradle to the grave.
	Everyone does what they can:  Nothing less, but sure no more. 
	Tip the hat and give a nod to the ones who’ve gone before.
	We tip our hats and give the nod to the world we’ve all ignored
"A majestic white horse standing in a deep, snow-covered forest as a guardian of the winter solstice. The horse wears an intricate crown made of frosted silver branches and glowing quartz crystals. Fine starlight sparkles are woven into its long, flowing mane. A single vintage lantern sits on the snow at its feet, casting a warm, golden candlelight glow against the blue twilight. In the background, a faint aurora borealis dances through the trees. The style is whimsical and surreal, with a soft, painterly photographic quality—prioritizing quiet magic over loud spectacle."

A night-time wide shot of a 33ft Sunset Creek bumper-pull travel trailer parked at a Texas campsite. Next to it, a white 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck is parked in the gravel drive. Both the trailer and the truck are draped in an extreme, "off the charts" amount of glowing multi-colored Christmas lights. In the background, tall long-needle pine trees are also wrapped in twinkling lights. A wooden picnic table and a small Starlink Mini dish are visible on the campsite ground. Clear night sky, warm southern atmosphere, no snow, ultra-detailed, cinematic lighting, 8k resolution.

This day, though, I hiked another autumn wood.  Eastern Europe ancient; overgrown.  So thick the view was dark at just a few feet off the path.  All red and yellow; orange and brown, a million trees, each one in blazing preparation for long, frozen winter.  I cannot but recall my friend’s words, lasting long, though he did not, and the instant truth that follows.  Looking upward at the fiery canopy, matched against the bright cerulean sky beyond, I embrace autumn!  Winter surely comes one day, but spring beyond.  I have a winter to prepare for, but it is not yet.
An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap.  Someone might think he’s sleeping.  He’s smoking heroin.  Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, 
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad.  Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy.  Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.
A koi pond seen from above, orange and white koi fish swimming among lily pads, clear water with subtle ripples, fallen cherry blossom petals floating on the surface, dappled sunlight
The monster (Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, 	all hoary-frost above behemoth shoulders.  Snake-like clouds adorning her, I crane my neck, Gaze fixed past the big white house toward uplifted boulders.
And at the South, like his namesake martyr, Hyacinth (Mt. San Jacinto) has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue backdrop
	he wears that legacy proud.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  Accentuate Sonora’s west extremes, and last night’s moon forgot to go away.

Snow Day Freedom

    A group of four happy children (diverse ages and genders) running excitedly out of the tall, red brick doors of a classic, old-fashioned schoolhouse. The school's clock face shows the final bell time. The atmosphere is pure, exultant freedom and joy.

    Scene Details: Heavy, fluffy snow is falling and has covered the ground in a pristine white blanket. The children are dressed in colorful, bundled winter clothing (red scarves, blue hats). In the foreground, one child is already throwing a perfect snowball, and another is sliding on a patch of ice. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow on the snow, creating long, blue shadows and sharp contrast, emphasizing the magical quality of the winter afternoon.

Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Nearer to the city now, the bus thumps and bumps to a slower pace.
Grinding gears mark spaces between dirty children, playing obliviously in the road.
Neither village nor metropolis, outskirts have no identity:
Just a blurry line of encroachment;
a temporary half-life on the way to something more.

Dust springs up from the tires of trucks headed both ways on the road.
A little girl stands crying in a mud puddle; her brothers laughing from the sides.
She has to learn rejection to participate in this brutal, belonging dance.
A little life, and a little death
for a product truly worthy of its name: a good woman is hard to find.
