a daily walk bends through a songbird town
for the cane I course the dewy grounds
it times the ryhmes inside my mind
with the band leading songs of gold
the flavor of the old wine shapes
they come to dream of the walking pace
it sets the tone for a brink on the edge
it storms into fields of color looking in
somehow it now begins to search the deap
with the other eyes of a right field sun glare
a ball comes descending too fast for the blind catch
but something let the skin be found in the leather
it burned weight in the glove feeling like a ton
this last time looking into the beeming sun
the walk drops through the bridge out of town
along the old hobo path wheels can't be found
so I turned for the line left to draw
it called for the watercolor space of night
left behind where the steps decide up or down
this walk has dreamed me out of a dry bone town
I felt the other hands holding this torch

but every footprint brought anderson pass the map of thoughts
ruins of fortress stone monuments in the slow growing cool
cascades of brilliant blue and white showering dreams of awake
drilled into the shale moment of high bordering the highest states
where the reason coughs a handshake upon clouds of still contemplation
I round up the campfire conclusion to be announced with creation
a toast of grape color to the host of the branding old mother shape
the grand amphitheatre of red quartz like features uniting the moon
to uncover the coals in the fire of the sun under a pure understanding
somehow somewhere someone sums up the equation with a puff
passing all the philosophy to quiet down a bending force of gravity
winds calming the mad reaction of what seems to be unseen buried deep
like time before the toll of a bridge bordering the golden gates to weep
the sounds cry among the tallest trees departing fused colors to fusion
a destruction of the distorted mound of burial sacred grounds
where the water soaks the sky while falling dry into a cross
I had to watch from falling on a step layered with odd moss&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-428083242317287064?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/428083242317287064'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/428083242317287064'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/07/bending-force-of-gravity.html' title='a bending force of gravity'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHm6IiJ9afI/AAAAAAAAAVg/wmZR9wiiouw/s72-c/anderson+pass+high+uintas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-3155581893847881029</id><published>2008-07-12T00:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-12T00:47:03.123-07:00</updated><title type='text'>inspired autumn reds</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHhaWtttHVI/AAAAAAAAAVY/zTW0Q6JMdgA/s1600-h/provo+peak.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHhaWtttHVI/AAAAAAAAAVY/zTW0Q6JMdgA/s400/provo+peak.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222023114211007826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;up inside the mountain of elevated life
winds trailed the old songs about to write
words that try and explain the name of rain
with the purest form imaginable under the sun
somehow I float through like a hanging glider perched
from the nest of a rooftop of limestone searched
for big eagle feathers bending dangerously loose
the dirt slips as I reach and look over the stretch
as I look beyond the force of calling colors in the divide
only to fall and stumble into gravel elbow blood sighs
neon across the pine needle bristles of a fresh magic scent
I relax the moment to look up into the opening bliss
to breath the depth of what looked impossible before
real as the daytime sun over the nose I compose
the name explained through inspired autumn reds
yellows blend other orange particles of movement
the head of the mountain perched like a thrown
wrecked among the stones of rock-slide hikes
I listened in with the binoculars of ear sight
before I stood behind the future in search
covered in dirt grounds of leveling worth
reaction moved the horse into blinding white
up inside the mountain of elevated life&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-3155581893847881029?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/3155581893847881029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/3155581893847881029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/07/inspired-autumn-reds.html' title='inspired autumn reds'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHhaWtttHVI/AAAAAAAAAVY/zTW0Q6JMdgA/s72-c/provo+peak.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-4379113024188294076</id><published>2008-07-11T18:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-11T19:12:02.775-07:00</updated><title type='text'>canines combined</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHgDMKpPoNI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/2YtGb86FiwY/s1600-h/Lab+smiles.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHgDMKpPoNI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/2YtGb86FiwY/s400/Lab+smiles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221927275486748882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;dogs are an amazing breed of animal
loyal to the core of man and women on their path
they are there for you when you're down and out
and all around when you feel complete joy about
they share the world with you along the way
their wildness helps them make mistakes
and at a closer look this is how we relate
so when they die it's a time to look back up close
look at the companionship they quietly gave us
this is that time to give thanks to them all
thanks for the memories combined in this final call
to Dizzle who lived so happily he had to go too soon
perhaps he dreamed of a mountainous escape
where other dreaming dogs met him for a swim
they pulled him through the dream into the void
and maybe now his happiness has surpassed this life
to Bear who lived with wild protecting companionship
she followed the endless tennis ball game to the end
rolling around rotty dread songs in dog shaman smoke
she stilled the tiptoeing mailman for a last laughing jolt
until the time eventually came to give up the dog ghost
to Natasha that had those big eyes of a boxers sigh
jumping in joy and exclaiming the echoing bark in the canyon
joining the deer for a midnight run for the fun of it all
exploring new levels of wilderness with sharp cutting speed
to Bullwinkle the mother of many other boxer beauties
she spent tons of time in the wasatch mountain views
from the maple ridge to the timpanogos reach of the blue
she calmed the madness of every day life like no other
and her burial is a symbolic reminder of that rose color
to Boris and his endless jumping and playing of games
his energy was at the highest of the highest mountain reach
he sped along with Natasha into a pool of mystic mountain water
for a swim chasing ducks with frisbee falling shapes and such
to Bud who possibly dreamed of driving his own red truck
going for a swim in the summer river canyon pools
growing larger and larger as the years layered through
bold golden lab days where good to this old veteran
to Sitka the crazed wild wolf mix of confusion in life
she lived best in the mountains as her tail would explain
smelling the call of the wild from the yellowstone range
I miss all of these members of campfire communes in rock canyon park
a sadness grips the heart when dog spirit heroes die and depart&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-4379113024188294076?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/4379113024188294076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/4379113024188294076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/07/canines-combined.html' title='canines combined'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHgDMKpPoNI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/2YtGb86FiwY/s72-c/Lab+smiles.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-4136468825098596177</id><published>2008-07-10T23:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-10T23:19:09.502-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Michael</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHb3_WzNZSI/AAAAAAAAAVI/0VZF9KC4MEU/s1600-h/arch+angel+michael.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHb3_WzNZSI/AAAAAAAAAVI/0VZF9KC4MEU/s400/arch+angel+michael.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221633485806855458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I felt a hand on my shoulder with the force of ten men
saving me from the false face of what could have been
all of every song played in a moment like holy gold
vibrating with the realized name of truth in the fold
served with caring and trust unlike any other friend
deserving of respect in the shape of direct sunlight rays
worlds apart but close to the shared color of my heart
where the force of lungs pumped the stomach apart
with love as pure as the river of life from another forest
revealed in a space of stars under traces of virus threats
they blessed the mistake of words with congestive failure
in the round of swords swung through creaking cold payment
sparks connected to the rest of uneasy disaster laid in cement
just before the thought burned open gates in a chain link sin

cool calmed the hour for a chance to relax with me
to fall from the knees of a pool field full of wheat
or some form of a grain leaving the mind impressed
I opened up the burning chest of a meditation breath
to bless the sacredness of a holy moment surprise
like the common wings carrying the song higher up
beyond the golden chalice served with other cups
the brushstroke works are fluid to the sound of light
a stone force of work that bends the concentration eye
to focus clear into the next stage of what you feel is clean
the moment when you answer your own thought unseen
where you and I are the same reason why we unite
to look into a view that brings free the truest point
based at the foot of a blue mountain falling from leaves
like waking windy seas of a green smelling breeze&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-1836699448126225644?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/1836699448126225644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/1836699448126225644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-you-feel.html' title='what you feel'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHRghoFxX9I/AAAAAAAAAVA/IudXvNfcRFw/s72-c/478px-Vincent_Van_Gogh_0016.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-8777429293048717084</id><published>2008-07-07T23:58:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-08T00:17:24.083-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the stone traps</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHMQT6HypzI/AAAAAAAAAUw/QOQqSImkDkA/s1600-h/WeatherDancerDream_lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHMQT6HypzI/AAAAAAAAAUw/QOQqSImkDkA/s400/WeatherDancerDream_lg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220534327258031922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I dreamed of animals under stone traps
caught and killed by the rocks under wraps
my heart dropped with the bone shades of death
I could not understand why this was viewed
the bears met the wolves to see into fear itself
working together for an unusual dance of sadness
somehow knowing this was going to happen
the advance cleared smoke with wild feathers
turning colors into the native language spoken
I stood back asking for a review of a fraction
only to see the mound of stones under night stars
where cool winds stilled over tension of this moment
I felt amazing grace pour songs from this holy place
like the surface of the sun spoke to the moon
shaking the space between the very two
to find the earth raptured with unspoken voices
silently searching the strings of dream choices
caught and killed by the rocks under wraps
I died with these animals under stone traps&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-8777429293048717084?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8777429293048717084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8777429293048717084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/07/stone-traps.html' title='the stone traps'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHMQT6HypzI/AAAAAAAAAUw/QOQqSImkDkA/s72-c/WeatherDancerDream_lg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-3832469863439597615</id><published>2008-07-06T09:33:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-31T10:40:47.133-07:00</updated><title type='text'>wheelbarrow heaven</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHDz6EMBf4I/AAAAAAAAAUo/e8-0g79_WQ4/s1600-h/wheelbarrow+heaven.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SHDz6EMBf4I/AAAAAAAAAUo/e8-0g79_WQ4/s400/wheelbarrow+heaven.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219940147004538754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I mixed a batch of cement for the last catch in wheelbarrow heaven
where the old bodacious wheels creep past the rust dusting ravens
crowing at the amounts of progress they combined to punish us with
flowing with the stones building homes and border bending fences
how these amazing primitive tools are still possibly used in a pinch
could they pull another load pure past the perfect pour of an inch
would we build one last try for what they helped our spines resign
it must be best to let them rest under empty skies like old boat flies
as scowling lasers shoot at  my trowel with a glare  like I could even forget
how dare I try to cry these pines of retirement for a useful friendly tool
wheelbarrow wings must fly to a future of the stoned bones &amp;amp; brew
we'll mix a million layers of cement to build a pyramid among the ghost
where the wheels move and pour the mixture on their own sweaty toes
as they mix it themselves with the spirits of elves slaving the sunset view
I'll kick back and watch my old friend the wheelbarrow losing a screw

a morning star leads the galaxy through for a sword
played with silver cunning chords across the divide
from the mouth of creation about benches bound to dry
crowding up the scorching levels of disaster reasons why
where a falling star grabs the other homes around from flight
to fall through metal corrosion layers of a bending torches might
just in time we settled up the stones into a calender of events
for chance searching beyond what could be inside the canvas tent
where the grapevine wood is piled higher than my spoiled chin
thousands upon millions gained the insight from a million sins
or perchance to reincarnate the dance of where to begin
however it's played is relayed through the milky way of songs
to death in the ultimate expanse fading from life into a drum

balloons from a stolen nitrous oxide crew
the ticket stub erosion fidget in the pocket
a dosed out body breaking dead bone sockets
crippled amounts of beverage burnout ruin
sunburn dust cloud brave drum volkswagons
crazy maniacal miracles flying above the cheshire moon
nights from a crowd campfire stored old burrito hell
just passed the missed turnoff from anything for sale
lights camera reaction to the spine entwined with strychnine
all confusion paid the cost to be with the magic boss
when it was all said and done perhaps even overcooked
we felt the energy expound around our shaking souls
sometimes not so much the specific show itself
but that strange person you met who helped you out
or that desert moment when the chaos slowed down
even that eternal smell that followed the tie dye crowns
sounds placed in a foggy memory box of rain tapes
reaching the pinnacle of a stella blue sky sweetly blissed
I miss those days often kissed by a stranger
painted in the fainting canvas time
falling form brushes left behind
shaping up to finish purple true
the days when tragic vomit flew&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-5810108131927689196?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/5810108131927689196'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/5810108131927689196'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/07/finish-purple-true.html' title='finish purple true'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGnZMheDtTI/AAAAAAAAAUY/2O4QUybkZSA/s72-c/tragic+nitro+minute.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-98543089913277553</id><published>2008-06-29T08:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-29T09:59:50.855-07:00</updated><title type='text'>elevation sense</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGetNbCjHAI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/urLFW_Fod3E/s1600-h/vlevet+beauty.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGetNbCjHAI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/urLFW_Fod3E/s400/vlevet+beauty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217329139440360450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;under the sun white balance I connect a blue sky
as layers of air pocket wind begin the swirling eye
I paused in the depth of the lint fabric seem
to drip my head into a velvet opposition team
faced down from falling through
faced down I envisioned clear blue
falling hard on my reaction view

something brand new struck me from the spine
something that bonds the whole of mankind
like nature parts the sea to free a better sight
whatever is better could be the contradiction tie
but frozen forms berate the bound up beauty
so they won't feel the mountain of elevation sense
we seem to fall and stumble along a pothole battered fence
but turning with the eye I have seen the lampstands of gold
vast grand canyons in bold red sandstone erosion strange
placed on the mind of my wasted time I played
under the space all bright with amazing stars I cry
under the sun white balance I connect a blue sky&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-98543089913277553?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/98543089913277553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/98543089913277553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/elevation-sense.html' title='elevation sense'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGetNbCjHAI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/urLFW_Fod3E/s72-c/vlevet+beauty.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-3114310180512289300</id><published>2008-06-27T15:00:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-28T10:05:18.962-07:00</updated><title type='text'>experience tools</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGVjnGGpy5I/AAAAAAAAAUI/bCc_A5UkCXQ/s1600-h/sacred+pools+montanna.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGVjnGGpy5I/AAAAAAAAAUI/bCc_A5UkCXQ/s400/sacred+pools+montanna.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216685266683153298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I spent the sunny day with change from sacred pools
thrown about the sunset into the night calling rule of thumb
all who come here are mounted on the monumental move
with surprise and torches set in the starry night reflection
rejection is given its own name and replaced with stools
every bone and muscle aches from the hike I would create
in soaked breathing pounds of joy the time was precious bait
thrown into the lake for silver pulling trout about the boat
where coats drain the humid passing pain with easy floats
folding away the day I paused to pray away from graves
looking forward with the living spirit experience tools

it swerved with a curve passing a thought soaked man
what could he see under the city sky causing pause
the traffic passed him unwavering windy dust clouds
where is the mind that captures away the road sign
pointing the direction to aging empty imperfection
there it falls beneath the crown of a stone forming eye
dropping pellets of water like drowns into island skies
he stands within a cloud reaction of rain to come through
inside the dream a scene uncovers under the rolling thunder
pounding upon the material color drizzle sounds of dryness
ladders climb the blue jacket draft faces of entrapment sand

the old wrinkle lines of a mothers face
they drain the salty marsh of ruined days
with bags of phone calling card moans
they send their dreary eyes beyond yours
deep into the desert of complete cleansing
straight past the waste filled sand dunes
groomed with the rake facing folly in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;june&lt;/span&gt;
it was soon a lake filled with clear winter cold
it came from somewhere beyond the last season
like a wind picked it up from important reasons
laid it down in the barren shapes of this land
bringing back the life that could not stand
with the one leg perch of an egret in the fog
the dew was a blue heron sending songs along
where hearts hear the words forward in the maze
a dry bone &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;desicates&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;racku&lt;/span&gt; crackled glaze&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-3374435883083994899?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/3374435883083994899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/3374435883083994899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/barren-shapes.html' title='barren shapes'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SGKRYGcOTaI/AAAAAAAAAT4/V7oKGRuNmNQ/s72-c/dessicated+desert+west.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-1246043893962601587</id><published>2008-06-23T06:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-23T07:19:02.848-07:00</updated><title type='text'>emerald cave air</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SF-sVTLQFoI/AAAAAAAAATw/9BPsPhDsxnc/s1600-h/tin+cup+creek+montanna.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SF-sVTLQFoI/AAAAAAAAATw/9BPsPhDsxnc/s400/tin+cup+creek+montanna.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215076375443019394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;gold stamped coins where thrown into a tin cup creek
silver greens swirled there as the water moved clean
so brightly reflecting the sun on a high mountain wind
twisting stone lichen colors drawn into free flowing
tumbling along the compound nature of gravity
jumbled with numbers in bubbles under watery eyes
I leaned my head out far enough to inspire a frozen vision
it attached odd shapes of mountain dew all put to the test
annual rains sent the rolling clouds over saturation nests
bright colored wild rose nations composed new leaves
intertwined dry amounts tried reason over coffee &amp;amp; teas
melting through a week of camped out pine load seas
eternally encrusted with amazing emerald cave air
loose knit volumes of tree breath combined signs
equal left over balance brought beginning to the end zone
cold worlds fumed the hose shaping moss vine toads
heavy on the sacrificial reasons bring this to a close&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-1246043893962601587?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/1246043893962601587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/1246043893962601587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/emerald-cave-air.html' title='emerald cave air'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SF-sVTLQFoI/AAAAAAAAATw/9BPsPhDsxnc/s72-c/tin+cup+creek+montanna.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-8723214903528092557</id><published>2008-06-22T10:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-22T10:29:59.552-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the inferno balance</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SF6IqR3FLOI/AAAAAAAAATo/K2CYFXkNJCU/s1600-h/the+inferno.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SF6IqR3FLOI/AAAAAAAAATo/K2CYFXkNJCU/s400/the+inferno.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214755678471924962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;light quotes equal measures to the inferno balance
with a mounted horn on bark brass sounding trees
branded for the chime echo time to vacate these
forest reading animal fractured nests undressed
the strange became what is not the same game
loosed from a bent tinfoil dinner dripping stew
frozen in the pack of broken backs relating few
when the measures become out of whack
the broken back is quick to attack frozen facts
such as... the season is quite free of zero doubts
or perhaps... time turns with a magnet over shouts
then it collapses when hippos collide with horse snouts
the sound of this derangement is sealed into a log

after reaching beyond the exit outstretched arms
the reach making bones crackle about the joints
light forms an echo across the universal pointing path
from the sun to the next one far beyond a source
the course covered abrasion is bleeding fire stations
folding the midnight riot chairs of bent creation
stuffing a caring package into the sun soaked eye
under the river the moon reflects the suns other try
next to a cavernous cave moist moss chanting om
whistled into the windy halls of foggy falling rain domes
late night sounds surround the trembled living drains
piped in the face work of fencing hero worship lips
language lavender mace mounted nuance nimbus opens
the painted mandolin of the sky falling clean for her
straight to the plate of saying what you meant for sure
where a bounce builds to roll upon abandoned farms

from the heart of a sweet sighing word
the word was of life becoming fluid blue
it shifted into rivers over sunny stones
reflecting the tree branches and bones
where the dipper sings a joyous truth
the gentle river becomes a stream
twisted around many roots of green
covered in moss fabric thick easy and old
the life expounds into creative songs
so we sing them as they form a muse
strange or basic elements from the deep
pain could bring the days of our youth clear
from the river of life dreams become a vision
glowing in the field of a blind healing white
so caring and straight to the point of an arrow
being shot over mountain ranges of danger
landing in my chest with the force of the wind
where it begins emotion flowing oceans
almost quiet in its forming still movement
to suddenly make the note on strings of gold
reasons float by and can't be quite sure

on soil so moist like old sponge rhymes
could it be the sounds inspire the whole bit
or is our movement the constant flow of this
is a question just the birth of uneasy answers
paged down and written for the ears to hear
placed there in a heaven to spark strange fires
working toward the stone face of fluid color
where the red flowers peak toward the summit
upon the pastoral meadows of early morning
where the ice is frozen in a troubadours tent
half frozen sleeping bags still keeping one warm
the songbirds fresh and new from where you live
like shaking the path through with a mandolin
using the tools of wherever now is being lived
gaining elevation for the saving days of sins
but lived beyond compare until the day of death
taking in the time to smell and taste the breath&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-8375743365893591816?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8375743365893591816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8375743365893591816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/taste-breath.html' title='taste the breath'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFkDyCAIFNI/AAAAAAAAATA/1Bt1nscDF2U/s72-c/good+timp+times.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-461060872739726322</id><published>2008-06-17T04:19:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T04:34:57.516-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the only hold</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFeeODrRFeI/AAAAAAAAAS4/EB9nnZCNPzY/s1600-h/metate+arch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFeeODrRFeI/AAAAAAAAAS4/EB9nnZCNPzY/s400/metate+arch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212809058046776802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I slipped at the edge of a strange sandstone drop
without the hurried hallway pencil point sharp
the warning signed the ruin below a bloody hand
upon a pool unwavering in a leaf fallen ripple block
from the grip of a pinion placed from the wind shock
I grabbed a hold of something far from under within
it was oddly colored in a pale silver purple truth
but another hand held the only hold available
and this one slipped again and again no matter how hard
no matter how many holds broke the barriers of gold
with every pulling try the falling fell from the sky
it shaped the new star bouncing gowns of greeting whys
flowing from bent erosion wasting away the beauty
when answers became their question covered stop

where the series of dreams dissipates into the day
I found the rolling reasons offered from mistakes
born fresh into a breaking balance of ringing bells
far away a distant sound alarmed the peaceful sails
fluttering in the snapping wind cracks of cotton droplets
working a minute time traveling about the ruins of memory
there I became a strange texture bleeding into borders
with color spread thoughtfully around a mandala fortress
standing strong to the sun filled face of something new
it spoke of unraveling twists like spiced up dainties in groups
with the hand held meditation breaking up a grape sour juice
spilled from the golden cup of service on a tape toned spruce
the texture was abrasively left behind to renew our time
it almost smelled to a point under the bridge of road signs
renting the broad basement must rust of coins under ruined rugs
how that comes into play is rendered language philosophy mud
somewhere the questions need to be explored beyond our reasoning
to accomplish this is often missed when this is that under every sap
dripping from the golden tree beyond where you and me sing
straight into the direction where you're are obviously going
the bread is bent from knowing too much under a rash armpit crutch
so we read and view the answer of a brave new insightful stew
what art is to you is most likely not ever going to be truly equalled
by the way our eyes are unique and colored beyond mystique
round or square forms in a triangle prism shooting stars about homes
branding a break in the new way to see through a wall of river stone
just as I bend it beyond what limits our reasons in sound
the compass passes around the fast fabric grounds&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-5370161952788394058?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/5370161952788394058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/5370161952788394058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/wall-of-river-stone.html' title='a wall of river stone'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFW4OSADqhI/AAAAAAAAASw/eAYUMpMwtMo/s72-c/the+ancient+of+days.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-596446249751989477</id><published>2008-06-14T08:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T08:59:35.990-07:00</updated><title type='text'>equally through</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFPnSi5q7BI/AAAAAAAAASg/FaN8m3h-F5M/s1600-h/200px-Huichol_yarn_painting_by_Rojelio_Beuites.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFPnSi5q7BI/AAAAAAAAASg/FaN8m3h-F5M/s400/200px-Huichol_yarn_painting_by_Rojelio_Beuites.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211763499590151186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;when it became time to spin another yarn blue
voices from the desert whispered of desires
open flaming red and crimson fires before
consumed in the circle with smoke entails
a magical button bounced from a purple stone
it flew like a thunderbird  straight from the smoke
swirling amounts of fear disappeared into the light
as the dark stayed cold hiding under the strange
the music that we played wore abstract woven beads
made of some turquoise amethyst connection seed
the white owl swoops down from the barn to you
where it became time to spin another yarn blue

people stay light
equally through
you with our eye
opening the sun
together as one
equally through&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-596446249751989477?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/596446249751989477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/596446249751989477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/equally-through.html' title='equally through'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFPnSi5q7BI/AAAAAAAAASg/FaN8m3h-F5M/s72-c/200px-Huichol_yarn_painting_by_Rojelio_Beuites.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-6261364636606912470</id><published>2008-06-13T19:59:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-13T20:12:45.515-07:00</updated><title type='text'>sun belts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFM0E94NR9I/AAAAAAAAASY/n7LB5fHxN-0/s1600-h/beauty12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFM0E94NR9I/AAAAAAAAASY/n7LB5fHxN-0/s400/beauty12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211566453732231122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;my face became a solid stone set engraved
tombs beyond the life and death decomposed
all quiet to pose with the sand swirling heat
strange beauty saved the day before we could complete
there the next face toiled in the image of a shape
placed to the night compass unleveled in the rain
great puddles of peculiar mirror reflected pain
in suffering the life becomes more complete
the surface gives way to the erosive force of light
the furnace burns on and on through the fight

it builds erosion forces in the wheels abate
with streaming air pockets residing in the reach
the thunder clasp cracks into echoes of debate
questions mount the striding steed of late waving light
galloping dreams fence a fragmented face in the night

what strength forces such measure of weight
is gravity just a lid to cover unknown states

with the groaning and swollen mounds of moss
like old ocean stones washed ashore into sandy pockets
trembling under the sky with my arms outstretching bones
reaching for the cloud swirling winds timing sky blue tones
like the oriole following me through the canyon pieces torn
the faces await the rocks golden gate tree banyan forever
standing eternal rewards beneath the sea of springs together

san juan astounds senses for sacred grounds of the mind
where the breath is savored into the chest of traveling signs

the flowing water
broad and flowing
the flowing water
old age and wisdom flys
my mind wanders by

the color quotes the band champions through
with the wind gripping widows claw eye dust views
the man stands to rebind the name of the game
it falls from the edges and clears out the clean
with the brush from spider wires of tired old teams
I opened the growth mongrel mistake with the sun
on the field of green rolling scenes it flew into one
where the heart opens to the reality of the day
leaving behind the false fabricated illusion string
pulled by our many friends we care for in hope
a new way shines to untie what binds the frail rope
so the milk and honey flows from the funny pointy toe
where a mile crawls into a map of sandbag sequence floods
the events mark our light future into grains of mud wet sand
built before the white house answers in the psalm of your hand&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-6775821899021628880?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/6775821899021628880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/6775821899021628880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/old-tired-teams.html' title='old tired teams'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SFEuRLTiPAI/AAAAAAAAARo/Vbvl9oBPJIY/s72-c/Heart_of_Huichol-Feb-05.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-859068305808553191</id><published>2008-06-11T04:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T04:26:51.200-07:00</updated><title type='text'>color chimes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SE-zUfHERpI/AAAAAAAAARg/YOBZXLgsJm0/s1600-h/mulberry.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SE-zUfHERpI/AAAAAAAAARg/YOBZXLgsJm0/s400/mulberry.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210580458420848274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;one thousand rain prying eye veins
marking the ditch bothered leafy plain
set mutual traps into motion sacks
full of aromatic spice and herb
enhancing some strange collision
where the decision slices paragraphs
beyond the next leg of a limping bruise
the view paused for a choice to choose
would it combine for the soaking cloud
into a magical fountain of old moss and stone
or bend down a chilling fragmented face
left to wither the star purple dancing space
I had to adjust the second feeling the weary push
to soak color chimes in a beautiful mulberry bush&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-859068305808553191?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/859068305808553191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/859068305808553191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/color-chimes.html' title='color chimes'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SE-zUfHERpI/AAAAAAAAARg/YOBZXLgsJm0/s72-c/mulberry.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-4785817469205335322</id><published>2008-06-10T07:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-12T08:28:19.324-07:00</updated><title type='text'>out of my spine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SE6PwCpijNI/AAAAAAAAARY/8Eh7u1Pbf4w/s1600-h/color+lights+forest.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SE6PwCpijNI/AAAAAAAAARY/8Eh7u1Pbf4w/s400/color+lights+forest.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210259874421837010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;upstanding old stones laid the grounds of a home
where the stellar jay chirps a crazy play calling to mates
it distorts the winds sending them abstraction back to blow
back beyond the highest reach of their unknown
straight into the weaving fabric of a gifted artist
she makes the blanket a story into its own
other birds collide with a sound reaching for you
pulling on the summer to bring strange moons in
the gravity unlevels a sandcastle virtue eroding
upstanding cool breezing trees sway joyfully
in a city of pines where the cottonwood combines

somehow he maneuvers a distraction from winds
to begin locking chain remains of captured friends
but the shade of this creature rings up a slime feature
when the magical blue pheasant announces his presence
he rips the snake into pieces left floating the course away
down the river that appears to the angel of rainy days
the blue king puffs out his chest displaying the breath

minutes found me in a brush with burning stone roots
passing the hour glimpsing painted red dread suits
when the bread from the table bounced from plates
straight to a determined drain swirling old places

the star foam filmed the shore of days beyond grains
where a wave salted shoulder devils demanding levels
as a prism of light is shooting rays into reaction instance
we subcontract the attacking sun on the wind of chilling sin
by simply applying a magnet to the source of disease from within

it's the triumphant horn of metallic tongue farms
it blows creation escapes plotting  illusion with rain
from the bow pulling heat sending arrows away for messages
we bend our loose mind into a gym class hustling  maneuver
it demands the respect of penny whistle magpie abstraction
the flavor of complete disaster word jamming mile after mile
three maiden discoveries combined unity until it seemed futile
with a shroud of loud gold covered shows loading the bullet
their ritual was the true stone ruin of the past performance
it sealed the tombs of gray covering dust bones for impermanence
abandoned in their magical wreath of laurel hellos wishing you goodbye

it melted a walking meditation into broken bone homes
with the trail receiving me in song and strolling wings
I vanished into decay with the barren beauty mud shapes
where the moss congregates to feel the astounding life
where I connect to the off beaten trail of no footprint
the shape of what looked like a deer had been here
the cold was borderline snow to escape a future rhyme
seven breaths a counting chest paying respects in time
skulls and roses on the wild field of green bringing themes

new life reflects exploding into the color of the next cloud
old rings conjest in a tree bent and twisting me through
tree sap stones like tears torn into incredible deep roots
new leaves shake the rain on you passing from beneath
a wild turkey calls to the new storm of perfect ambiguity
songs of going home to where the sunshine mends stones
the graveyard forest renews a year coloring it burnt sienna

I live most in this place of tree spirit ghost holes
I die in a reason of rhyme losing season souls&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-8412126114062140521?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8412126114062140521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8412126114062140521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/season-souls.html' title='season souls'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEfh8IEGx7I/AAAAAAAAAOc/yJb24RD5yG0/s72-c/loriestree.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-8979665973342837247</id><published>2008-06-04T05:55:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T06:21:02.442-07:00</updated><title type='text'>join the singing forest</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEaQyYEGx6I/AAAAAAAAAOU/WCrbjsAuPNk/s1600-h/800px-Great-horned-owl-in-flight.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEaQyYEGx6I/AAAAAAAAAOU/WCrbjsAuPNk/s400/800px-Great-horned-owl-in-flight.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208009214228088738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;in the evening twilight I listen close to the forest
keeping the one who is sweeping the blue ghosts
he reminds me of a jazzy tom waits color fold
the great horned owl singing the endless croon
he sings for his mate upon crowning tree tape
stuck in the moon barren fixed form of time
crying like a lonely old pair of shoes left behind
waiting gold into a bronzed silver afternoon
they all combine into a frozen ice filled mist
his echo is the clockwork in a field of rusty ticks
his clock also tocks upon cliff side hollow rocks
they dribbled sad but alive and content muses
I respond with my cheap recorder flute embarrassment
it does the abstract job a fuming of polluted notes
in turn the owl flies closer and closer to the heart
striking tumor toad roads in a mound sounding chart
layered and resoiled in the trouser tripping gowns
a cool rain quietly paid the respects of passing clouds

we thank this day and night for everything connected
the good and the bad and the ugly songs we sing
the faces that say we've been places in streams
drowning confines of thousand lake mountains
placed in the soul of our traversed circulation department
conducted like a vagabond in the branding of a chorus
in the evening twilight song I join the singing forest&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-8979665973342837247?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8979665973342837247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8979665973342837247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/join-singing-forest.html' title='join the singing forest'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEaQyYEGx6I/AAAAAAAAAOU/WCrbjsAuPNk/s72-c/800px-Great-horned-owl-in-flight.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-3670025661701988554</id><published>2008-06-03T06:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-06T05:43:33.915-07:00</updated><title type='text'>peel the remains</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEVJ6oEGx5I/AAAAAAAAAOM/mqjqkhD0ZPU/s1600-h/Bob+Art.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEVJ6oEGx5I/AAAAAAAAAOM/mqjqkhD0ZPU/s400/Bob+Art.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207649815659726738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the morning whistles from the old steam engine dream
in the still quiet field of green the trumpet traveling sings
it echoes reminders of silver time on spike driven rails
reflecting golden upon cottonwood river bridge trails
amazing weight in a fury of steel power force
the heat melts coins in a pancake flour source

I used to imagine it sending me over the sea
where I would meet great heroes with swords
perhaps in china or upon other gleaming shores
before we flew in the planes of insane speed
the train would peel the remains into dust
raining the cargo onto uncovered trucks
holding the hobos dangerous journey road
in the rattling boxcar advertisement load
the heavens would open or flood towards stars
counting and searching the names of the cars&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-3670025661701988554?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/3670025661701988554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/3670025661701988554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/peel-remains.html' title='peel the remains'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEVJ6oEGx5I/AAAAAAAAAOM/mqjqkhD0ZPU/s72-c/Bob+Art.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-391377832848478583</id><published>2008-06-02T07:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-08T11:06:19.929-07:00</updated><title type='text'>complete our joy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEQAxIEGx4I/AAAAAAAAAOE/IpcZSA4a1F4/s1600-h/angels+%26+shepherds.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEQAxIEGx4I/AAAAAAAAAOE/IpcZSA4a1F4/s400/angels+%26+shepherds.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207287913125431170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Once I faded into a dismal mistake of shade
dark and bordering edge gripping graves
there I stood looking around my remains
from this vantage point I felt weak blue
the color often fading from a storm
the color not busy being born
the color being busy dying

But I turned around
took a bigger breath
falling to my knees
finding how to praise

the brilliance of the light struck me down
I awoke having seen the man all around
a million eyes shield his light like suns
warm and caring faces around the balance of one
thousands were there with me to erupt in cheers
thousand in a roar facing the love shining clear
I cannot understand or define this amazing view
but it changed me for the better shade of blue
it seems like a turquoise painting of mountain skies
the words of life being born from an old boy
I'm writing them to complete our joy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-391377832848478583?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/391377832848478583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/391377832848478583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/06/complete-joy.html' title='complete our joy'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEQAxIEGx4I/AAAAAAAAAOE/IpcZSA4a1F4/s72-c/angels+%26+shepherds.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671394074990076431.post-8748392421534019157</id><published>2008-05-31T02:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-31T03:18:50.996-07:00</updated><title type='text'>healing power of the raven bundle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEEhUoEGx3I/AAAAAAAAAN8/dewozh8AmAY/s1600-h/healing+power+of+the+raven+bundle.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEEhUoEGx3I/AAAAAAAAAN8/dewozh8AmAY/s400/healing+power+of+the+raven+bundle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206479282452744050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I felt sick at the edge of polluted fields
where the raven bundles up despaired fear
he caws in the echo of countless streams
passing the beaver dam drowning scene
beyond the winds whipping brave eagle peaks
straight into the solarplexis  sunlight reach
pulling out the chords attached to gripping pain
the pollution screens the scrape of pure wild
recalling the thoughts of bent sad styles
contained in the caws where a cave dreams
a gentle smoke cleans the air around  freedom
it searches hearts and minds to feel through
battered and breaking the remains in two
breathing rebounds the prick of the thorn
with sacred songs clearing out a cold storm
riverside shamans found my new power shield
where I felt sick at the edge of polluted fields&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671394074990076431-8748392421534019157?l=forwardpath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8748392421534019157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671394074990076431/posts/default/8748392421534019157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forwardpath.blogspot.com/2008/05/healing-power-of-raven-bundle.html' title='healing power of the raven bundle'/><author><name>Adam Christian Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17714382455261257491</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SwSJAEfm1KI/AAAAAAAAAoI/eJ9JiODd5J0/S220/lion+of+judah.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yqSm3tI5lg4/SEEhUoEGx3I/AAAAAAAAAN8/dewozh8AmAY/s72-c/healing+power+of+the+raven+bundle.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
