Dawn Ascends

Dawn ascends to brighten the day
Birds trill with songs of glee
Morning's breeze makes the willows sway
I rejoice with esprit

As Earth keeps on turning
I will be discerning
The sun will be burning

As night wends
Dawn ascends

Heaven 
awaits til our
last waltz amongst the wind,
mimicking that of yesterdays...(Sigh)
Nature applauds as we continue in
harmony; never ceasing til
the last tear. Dust we form...

Mind Ascends

Reborn here now without baggage, 
my soul revels in present peace;
Mind ascends through steps to salvage
Cares descend and put mind at ease. 

A stillness in my mind I feel, 
reborn here now without baggage;
As I pray to my Lord with zeal, 
From inner light shines my image. 

'Act with kindness' is the message:
Mindful of all my actions though
reborn here now without baggage, 
I know that I reap what I sow. 

As a part of the Whole, I see, 
such vibrance like peacock's plumage
of soul of the Universe be -
reborn here now without baggage.

Twilight Ascends

Twilight ascends as dusk arrives,
          the moonlit stars gather and thrive-
Sweet day dreams have come to a close,
while midnight softness does expose-
    The constellations have survived.

From mother nature dark derives,
beautiful shadows come alive- 
Crepuscule dimness does repose…
                                -twilight ascends

The Lord above sure did contrive,
               a masterpiece, love does revive-
A mystery nobody knows,
eventide, tranquil as it glows-
       Morning sun starts to rise by five,
into daybreak it gently flows…
                                 -twilight ascends

Premium Member Grief Ascends On the Rising Moon

 Trijan refrain

Grief ascends on the rising moon
   'neath frosted Winter skies
A lone wolf howls, wailing a rune
   desperate for replies
Her mate has died,  she must lament
beside him 'til last breath was spent
   Parted in death
      Parted in death
His body torn,  tattered and rent

Grief ascsends on the rising moon
   as thorns pricking my skin
There is sorrow in the wolf's tune
   My emotions akin
To shadowed darkness we lay claim
Eyes cold without a spark or flame
   Feeling such pain
      Feeling such pain
Love, it's you I seek to defame

Grief ascends on the rising moon
   Haunting my thoughts tonight
Who do I blame and dare impugn
   with defiance and spite
I would caterwaul to the wind
if death's warrant I could rescind
   His life restored
      His life restored
No longer would I be chagrined

- When Dusk Ascends -

day releases dusk-
streaming stars settle in sonorous susurration;
the grey glazed moon bows his subtle head,
and all the somnolent constellations shine...shine for me

Premium Member Grief Ascends With the Rising Moon

Trijan refrain

Grief ascends with the rising moon
   'neath frosted Winter skies
A lone wolf howls, wailing a rune
   desperate for replies
Her mate has died,  she must lament
beside him 'til last breath was spent
   Parted in death
      Parted in death
His body torn,  tattered and rent

Grief ascsends with the rising moon
   as thorns, it pricks my skin
There is sorrow in the wolf's tune
   My emotions akin
To shadowed darkness we lay claim
Eyes cold without a spark or flame
   Feeling such pain
      Feeling such pain
Love, it's you I seek to defame

Grief ascends with the rising moon
   Haunting my thoughts tonight
Who do I blame and dare impugn
   with defiance and spite
I would caterwaul to the wind
if death's warrant I could rescind
   His life restored
      His life restored
No longer would I be chagrined

Premium Member Luna Ascends

Sol bleeds at the edge of indigo skies,
inking clouds scarlet, as He slowly dies;
shadowing silhouettes in veiled disguise.

As Luna ascends in regal splendor,
a lone wolf's wails are mournfully tender;
upturned jaws, implying its surrender.

Howling summons the members of its clan,
as it has done before the time of man;
and it's not known how or why it began.

Families stealthily hunt in the dark,
and unlike packs of dogs, which yelp and bark;
wolves, howl at the moon, before they embark.

When Darkness Wanes As Light, Ascends

Finishing life's rare found treat, at her Chinese restaurant's
All which one may eat with a bowl of neopolitan ice cream
Gazing upon neon tides, bright lights; Hong Kong in the night
An innocent baby girl of around five, pehaps native's child ? 
Beauty's eyes amid such their purity glancing at myself; curiosity...
Her waitress or his cooks daughter possibly waiting out another day
While I sit to enjoy the city scape never turning yet knowing she is there
Entering my mind these two whom twine; touching this Spirit escaping, the dead.

Premium Member Kundalini Ascends

Kundalini ascends,
signalling soul’s intent
to raise it’s consciousness,
by granting love consent,
ensconced in blissfulness.

Kundalini ascends,
as vibrant liquid light,
transmuting nodes within,
in a dance of delight,
with bliss tingling our skin.

Kundalini ascends,
magnetising our form,
centring pristine presence,
whilst drenched by bliss throbs warm,
thus peaking soul’s vibrance.

Kundalini ascends,
aligning our five sheaths,
soul imbibing wisdom,
as blessings God bequeaths,
for within’s His kingdom.

NEW WAVE ASCENDS

 NEW WAVE ASCENDS

Workers waul at leaders sold
who rush to airports cold 
in hospitals wan women wallow 
tattered children nothing to swallow 
ideals trickling through untilled soil

will dreams and intentions expire
before patient arthritic grandmothers tire 
softly rain filters Earth’s corners
nourishing hills, herbs and mourners 
life follows death singing afresh

surely New Wave ascends roaring 
freedom showers cool us alluring 
in Golden Age Heart rules
teens dance while lovers drool
reach  within, be no fool

Premium Member Ascends New Sun - Andaree

Ascends new Sun- Andaree




When sparrows chirp, it's orange hue of twilight,
         Forgotten is yesterday's each fight,
                 Rise to another day's fun.
                    Leaves nothing undone,
                           Ascends new
                                  Sun.
                            Mystic view,
                         Be it for the pun,
                   Vivid dreams of everyone,
          Greens mesmerise, a colourful sight,
When sparrows chirp, it's orange hue of twilight.

Before the moon ascends

The wind whispered in my ears,
the secret that you told.
Before the moon ascends,
I shall come to your side.
Let us sit by the seashore,
beneath a canopy of stars,
bathed in moonlight’s glow,
speaking endlessly,
as countless as the grains of sand,
dancing with the waves,
until the sun rises in the east,
painting the sky
in hues of reddish orange.

The Harvest Moon Ascends

The deep tangerine glow of the harvest moon
has brought a sensual emotion that ignites. 
          The embers migrate to an ebon raven’s tune,
and bestows such magnificent perfect sights. 
For I am but a woman who loves nature’s best,
          as I lay my head below the harvest moon to rest. 

Ascending to heaven as the night shines on, 
          the outshine of brilliance has given such ease.
Soon and very soon will arrive God’s dawn,
          and all that is nocturnal will begin to cease. 
For the harvest moon is vivacious and clear,
          as all the little nightly creatures sleep near. 

          Stardust descends onto fields that will fade, 
lunar lace will redeem the season it brings. 
          There are moonbeams allowing a serenade,
and soon a brand and fresh new day rings. 
For I feel the harvest moon’s pure perfection,
          as we wander with hope sharing a connection.

          Beliefs in God's wonder has brought such delight-
          feeling the gleam of the of the bright moonlight.

As the Beacon Ascends

The sun is rising 
right above the horizon 
where sea meets the sky.
