Josh Moore ColoradoHail nails the skin.
Wind stabs the spine,
the mountain stretches,
breath freezes the tongue,
Snow visible on the summits
High-altitude crumbling
cracked hands claw at dry stone,
Paper thin air
sharp, jagged edges.
Bald Eagles circle overhead
Alpine sky, dry and broken—
no more Earth Day vegetation
Cherry Creek scrapes the sand
She lifts the bedpan
Chapped gloss superstar lips
Cocoa fur, stained by cigarette smoke
and...

"For the ones you choose to have around you will either build an empire or set your dreams afire"

putting one foot in front of the other the summit will be reached in due time"

The HelderbergsThe trails runs the edge for several miles,
a clifftop walk, it is no great trial,
atop a long precipice of limestone,
where big, black vultures soar, and make their home,
a rugged wall, by ancient peoples known,
so it looms, this stubborn piece of wild.
Atop it a state park has sat for years,
small fences up to calm a parent’s...

Overwhelmed Avalanches of DoubtSo many ways to say one thing
More than one way to turn pawn to king
Too many turns to the grocery store
Which turn shall I take?
Countless words to choose from
From sunrise to sunset
Too many ends to be met
With no end
So many ways to say one thing
How will I say this?
The paralysis of perfection pours
A whisper...

Crossed the Ocean in a Raft
I’ve seen the sphinx and pyramids
Climbed Kilimanjaro and Everest
Crossed the ocean in a raft, I did
So, which thrill was the best…
Lest you think...

Endless AffectionsEndless Affections
I know nothing but
A love in her smiles.
Years passed without a date;
Love was disappearing in miles.
The distance of time and place,
Mountains and valleys,
The love failed to race.
In the silence of many days,
The wind blew the message:
“For...

In playground of imaginationI'll climb
the tallest mountains with no stress,
I just need~
a helmet, rope, and other climbing gear,
warm layers, good boots, maybe some fear,
a bit of my heart in my mouth,
to chase the butterflies from my belly—
no need to fight against my shadow~
it'll be too tight upon the rock,
wrapped

Dawn by the Mountainside
As the last thread of darkness bids
farewell, it took a swipe at their
peaks,
A thick coat of mist casts a wet blanket
over their faces and swiftly leaves,
Then, out comes the glow of Dawn’s
first golden rays cascading warmth all
over them,
Giant guardians of the earth, through
it all, the mountains stood in silence,
Dawn by the...

Blossoms In The Wind
A gentle breeze stirs
Softly calling her name
Across the way cherry blossoms
Dance in a divine frame
Tangled petals swirl
Fragmented pieces blow
Touching Mt. Fuji's peak
Where beauty starts to glow.
As the wind whisper secrets
Blossoms rise aloft
Their delicate form, a work of art
Painting a memory soft
Serenity and wonder
Each image held within
Forever left to gaze upon
Scattered in...
