Vagrants and Vandals

Mused in mirrors of the mind  Perception is the key For what forsakes the lives of men And what does make them free The unopposed obstructed view Of who belongs or don’t The things that they be made to do And those that can’t or won’t  Pretend now not to see me here Pretend you cannot read Pretend that all you really want Is only what is need.   Oh vagrant minded vandal you I see through all the schemes What separates the great and small Is only what you deem.

Nature's Frivolity

Image generated by Meta Facebook,  November 2024 Writing by Jade Dane Jaspers  © January 31, 2026 You must know it's true  I am not aloof,  it's just who I am  in all my humanity. In spite of opinions,  that others rely on,  I tend not to harbor their ideologies.  It’s so not my genre,  holding no interest for me I prefer nature in all its frivolity  with all that there is to see  and all that I want it to mean, to me, myself personally, this is my genre. In quiet contemplations,  without pronunciations, allowing proclamations  from all nature speaks.  Not one thing or another, to whether or rather, simply allowing its multiplicity.  Its grandeur, its splendor, its rivers, its timbers, this sunrise, this star light, this tree bloom, this mountain side, of bird, vine, or flower woven gently by its power, I am of nature in all its frivolity.

Alas, The Spring

Image generated by Microsoft Copilot March 29th, 2026 Writing by Jade Dane Jaspers  Alas, the Spring © March 26th, 2026 Alas the days of spring have came in chilly mornings with frost remains,  over mountains through the dales, waking crocus and daffodils. Among the grass now new in green where birds again return to sing. Sparrows, warblers, mockingbirds, swoosh through winds on winged whispers. Sunlight bright, clear blue sky, Easter eggs, kites to fly. Warming air, longer days, teams to sort, ball games to play. Tractors plowing, seeds to sow, sprouts to gardens so to grow. Pollen sprinkles, grass to mow, rumbling rain showers away they roll. Charcoal scents from warming grills, creatures all sorts roam the hills.  Alas the days of spring are here welcoming all to share the cheer.   © Jade Dane Jaspers, March 26th, 2026

Road Trip

Image
Image created by Microsoft Copilot 3/26/2026 Writing by Jade Dane Jaspers  Road Trip Out the front door, through the streets,  crossing waters shallow, deep, sunlight bright, white cloud sky,  faces finding newer smiles. Onward, forward, farther go,  sweeping routines clean from souls. Trees in bloom, pink for spring,  adventure calls in visions seen. Motorcycles, water parks, roller coasters, museum arts. Weekend warriors plans in hand,  friend made road trips, sing with the band. Trunks stuffed full for family vacations,  schedules to keep in distant locations. Loading, unloading, off we all go, to breathe in the wonders untouched by the snow. © Jade Dane Jaspers, March 26th 2026
