GOLDEN SUN DESCENDING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
golden sun descends
warmth lingers in autumn air
gratitude lingers
to live poetry
much better than to write it
Matsuo Basho said
lush vegetation
mosses ferns violets and oaks
verdant greenery
Like Simon and me
Phorgiving a Pharisee
Is done Jesus-ly
Like Isaiah, we
Say here I am Lord send me
With Gospel decree
Phorgiving someone
Is the loving thing to do
Convocation-ly
It is the PSabbath
We will pray and sing psalm psongs
Rightly and greatly
Lord we praise You now
Holy, holy, holy is
Lord God Almighty
Phorgive us our
Pharisaical, sinful
Heart attitudes towards You
Help us to be more
Like Jesus, Who gave His life
Fulfilling God’s law
Even so come quick
-ly, we pray as the psalmist
Awake, Arise Lord
So phorgive us Lord
Repent unrepentant we
Graciously Jesus
*WHISPERS OF THE WIND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fiery skies ablaze
sunset's final, fleeting glance
day's last, burning breath
whispers of the wind
through the trees, a gentle voice
a gentle goodnight
the leaves change colors
the winter will be here soon
all the leaves will fall
AWAKENING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dawn's fresh wakening
the wind's gentle kiss on skin
new beginnings born
SUMMER'S FINAL SIGH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
golden leaves descend
falling softly, twirling slow
summer's final sigh
Future days arrive,
quickly becoming our past.
never to return.
"Sorry", said often
is an "out of jail free card"
some play it daily.
RISING SUN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
softly, sun rises
dances across horizon
warm and comforting
When Trump Money Talks
Life-forms cringe crinkle and close

DEFINING AND DEFENDING CIVILIZATION
AUTUMNAL DELIGHTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
leaf-covered sidewalks
pumpkins ready to harvest
gourds covered in frost
When all is lost, then
You're dead. If you're still breathing
It's not over. Keep on!
As feathers ruffle,
they show toughness where they stand.
Tough Old Birds don’t fly,
