Vickey Rhymer Poet Rhyme

Evergreen

Ever refreshing to my being
As the dew that fell on Hermon

Bringing new life to the seared psyche
of this particular earthly vermin

Designed to be made in your image
I regularly miss the mark

Treating this momentous opportunity
as little more than a lark

What is your favorite color? It seems it might be green.

All encompassing springing to life
In scene after scene after scene

I have wasted what you graciously offered
I see this clearly now with aged eyes

To know you and to love you an unfolding
Eternal surprise

Caught up in the minutia of being
I allowed myself to lose sight

With the time that remains me take these scales
From my eyes relieve me please of this plight

Evergreen life giving you have always
been and always you will be

Bring life anew to these dried bones
to rejoice for all seeing to see

Thank you for allowing this audience with you
YOU who made all things

Strike each day my hearts chord
 undampered by me fully ring

Vickey Rhymer February 24, 2023 at 10:05 AM You sent me immediately to my bible Gershon.Psalms 133:3.As the dew of Hermon ,and as the dew that decended upon the mountains of Zion for there the Lord commanded the blessing,even life evermore.Was afraid my memory had backfired.Maybe the weather has had a cycle that precedes our awareness and time or the vagaries of weather on high Is more complex than first appears.Either way I am glad to hear from you.So you actually looked upon it's slopes? Have a great day.Vickey.

Gershon Wolf February 23, 2023 at 7:28 PM Gotta comment on that first couplet there... So, even in July, Mt. Hermon was covered with snow in 1977-78 when I used to view it in the early morning on the way out to the fields to work... Perhaps no snow anymore due to 'weather differences' ... I guess it's due to the due! ~ Dude
