Deep Waters
“Imagine a wilderness trail that intertwines its story with the calm and soothing babble of a river’s youthful legacy…”







What’s in a Name?
"dark waters haunt me—
with my Scottish name—Douglas
meaning dark river..."

Three Superpowers
“this divine therapy shaped me well—
three indomitable powers of time
molded into water, ice, and wind…”


Rivers Don’t Flow Straight
“rivers don’t flow straight
shaped by curls of daunting earth
challenges spread life”


The Nth River
“the final flows of our weary sky-blue rivers
turbid from stretches of exasperated erosion
stirred up in colors of boundless branches
will gracefully empty into an endless ocean”


My Water Cycle
“I love to watch the leaves change
then tumble into grass-wrapped fingers
of vibrant but obscure autumn streams…”

I Am a River
“conspiracies are dark dams of shallow minds
but hope and light are soft falls of a deeper love”
