WN1464

Beneath your blue lights,
my eyes, tired, try
to balance both the weight
and the breadth of hours lost,
of days spent drudging,
of moments now stilled.

But alas, I sit. I see. I wait.
This may not be my bed,
but my head found this place.

Reliant. You hold me sturdy.

Homage to Wisdom

All hail to her, the Queen of every man!
Whom spoken words of every tongue has praised…
Her prowess serves her since this world began,
when every cloud was formed and sun was raised.
She reigns in power…molds the human mind
to love and ponder mysteries unsought.
Yet, when our limits leave our awe confined,
We come to terms that certitude is naught.
For can we grasp all that she does possess?
Or comprehend the wholeness of her truth?
Humility—does now my heart confess
for she pervades from ancient down to youth.

You are in me…in them, in every soul!
For all eternity, may we extol.

Homage to Wisdom

All hail to her! O Queen of every man!
Her prowess still by every tongue is praised,
from when all time and space...the world began,
and when the clouds were formed and sun had raised.
For who can know the contents of her mind?
Or comprehend the deepness of her thought?
For us, her lovers, are our thoughts confined...
Without humility, our quest in naught.
The power she bestows, that we possess
ought find it’s grounding on the purest truth.
And I, infatuated, now confess
My love for her ‘til aged from my youth

She is in me, in them, in every soul!
For all eternity, may we extol.

That Silenced Timber

Upon the edge of axes
pulse these veins of obedient
and humble servants.

What more must they give?
Abundant air...abodes
struck down for finite fill.

That Silenced Timber
at service to their Maker,
sharing all with neighbor:

Allowing them sustenance,
Providing life's shelter;
Breathing hope into tomorrow.

Consolation of the Poet

With you before Me,
all choirs obey my baton;
withdrawing itself
that you may hear.

I speak. I rise.
In wholeness I wait.
Peace, our hearts did
find in solace.

Hear! He heralds hope,
healing heartbreak,
humbling haughtiness,
hampering hatred,
heaving humanity's
hindrances.

I am...here.
Patient. Gazing at
you.

Like Silent Giants

For God made it so--
that they may dominate
all the eye can see.

Rustling--swaying with
every caress of wind;
Cooperating with the silence
and breathing sustenance
for all His creation.

There they stood,
Like Silent Giants,
waiting to be a home
for all who dwell;
giving of themselves
for all who dwindle;
existing in our midst
to dwarf our prideful hearts.

Duplicity

Do you hear that noise?

A hissing of the mind

Offering so called happiness

Leaves its victim blind

See that luring sight?

A beauty deep as skin

Powered by emotion

What truly was has been

Feel that rascal pelt?

So from pernicious beasts

For at this point you've lost

And gracefulness has ceased

We all were once but young

And when we know what's true

This Greater Love redeems

Our innocence anew

D252

"Fasten seatbelt while seated"

reads the inscription. 

It's grey hue and it's sturdiness

has proven useful. Hinged on either

side and indented to secure my

complimentary pleasure; who ever

needs a SkyMall as a companion?

Mine is in its upright and lock 

position prepared to be my

comfort to lean on. 

To depend on. 

To support. 

Prayer of the Poet

In Your Presence.

The song takes flight.

All that once graced ears

was drowned in silence.

Unanswered, unleavened

untampered You sit.

Peace, our hearts did

find in solace.

How hums holy hymns

happening habitually

helping heartfelt homes

hitherto holding His

hopeful happiness.

And here I am.

Locked, fixed on

You.

Deception

Dare not see the light
That leaks on shady plains
For life thirsts for compassion
Which only time obtains

Dare not hear the air
That lurks in echoing caves
For minds hunger forgiveness
Which only time re-paves

Dare not smell the scent
That flows through winding hills
For the heart seeks affection
Which only time fulfills

Think not mal-intentions
Nor actions you'll regret
For beauty isn't worth it
And life's not over yet
