Along Poems

Premium MemberAlong Flew a Bee

We may sit in the sun,
remembering the fun
of our youth.

Then a bee buzzes by,
to remind us 
of the truth

That flowers are pretty
and to the bee, sweet.

But memories can hide a sting
we wish not to repeat.

Premium MemberVictoria, do your duty, Along with me'

Do we all hear the rumour? A funeral draws near.' A spectacle is intended I think that much
Is real clear.' There will be black gloves and the
Muffled drums, that measured tread..Somber
Theater spun.' Staged to draw compassion from those (who might come?) The cornet may sound? Majestic..But I think we all know
What's the come..'
That vic-pols funeral

Premium MemberAlong the Sea Shore

They walked barefoot on the wet sand.
The hot sun had dipped beyond the horizon.
The brine and fresh air intertwined,
How pleasant to walk hand in hand!

Occasionally she would stoop, 
Her wedding ring glinting in the dying sun.
She would search for lovely decorated shells,
Whilst he tried throwing flat stones
Across the calm stretch of the waveless sea.

Finally, they

Along the Line

Snooze of peace reigned on a collage
of sacred impulse for serenity of shelter —
bower-girthed and soul-inundated —
but along the line, a stampede, peccant
and harlotic,
framed the sun.

Premium MemberIn the midnight's heart, along the shadowed path, I lose myself in dreams

In the midnight's heart, along the shadowed path, I lose myself in dreams,
A river of thoughts flows, carrying me through the abyss's seams.
With every ripple, I draw near to the hidden truth's embrace,
In cosmic silence, my unfathomable soul I trace.
Under a sky full of stars, I dance with shadows of the past,
Each step an incantation,

Premium MemberAlong For the Ride

(“The Longest Journey”, 2020, original encaustic)

Along For The Ride

The older I get the less I seem to know
Or even care
And the more I feel a somewhat detached
Observer.

I’m okay with this
Simply because there is no alternative
Although I’m sure a doctor could give me
Some drug or hormone to change my view.

And being okay with it,
Not resisting or

Along came a hoopoe once again


Everyone loves him. A nice amicable guy, as he is no relative, he is no refrain. He starts within a rhythm when  often a melody is surreal and soars along the flight of the song, up high, high above, where God knows everything about eternal time, beyond the worldly cacophony and hustle and bustle.

Premium MemberAlong the Way

The raindrops fall into the paper cup of tea
The teabag shrinks as if it could be my remark
Unlatch the green door to the childlike mystery
It’s possible again to enter that old park 
The busts and statues of the gods and greats
And shaded benches in the niches of the trees
There in the memory another alley waits
I

Premium MemberSing Along With Summer


Summer stares, graceful
as the quiet chirps
birdsong, let’s sing along…
joy unfolding, on wings
listening for His voice
in the heart, the soul, anyplace

growing old, while the summer
restores the heart, the soul
breaking out in sweats of golden
sunlight, bursting from the heat
melodies so sweet…

gently playing against the ache
of a silent knowing, 
His love unfolding, like a distant 
star, reflecting all

Along With The Thunder


Along with the Thunder
came Tempestas, goddess of storms
turtle doves scattered on  
corrugated roof, grey feathers flying when glimpsing her fierce amber countenance 
this is time of rattling cracked panes
loose screws
when weather ruled, seemingly profane
warmonger wind howls or laughs 
I know not which, my Being dwarfed
by Boreas, serpents coiled at depth
 
sombre matter ripples within
