voices out of the West, mostly poetry, personal to planetary

David Paul Kuntz

Illium Valley, San Juan mountains, Colorado

Snowscape

David Paul Kuntz has long lived in Colorado’s northern San Juans in a remote canyon not far from Telluride, in a house he built with his spouse Marti. Pulled toward every kind of mountain adventure right out their back door,David and Marti also open their rural home everyMonday eveningfor community sitting meditation. David's tells us his mid-life efforts at writing have stretched his appreciation for all the inspiring authors who manage to move the world through words.

Burning freeze

Glaring wince

Blowing into any opening

Filling all angles

The flake is moving again…

We shield yet embrace the bite.

And like to smooth and feel

The frozen texture

change to silk,

To wood,

To stone,

Again to fallen down.

Displaced by breath.

Floating beauty.

Rejoicing arms held high.

Honoring sweet layers of icing

On our now silent earth.
