Best Attunes Poems
Infant DaybreakAmbling in the charm of Tidal Basin
We hold hands with a lilac morning
Long before it pleads with the sunrise
To sparkle the view of a purple dawn
Saddled in the daze of hazy fog.
Strolling under gleam of a starry night
Along the trails of romantic banks
We handed...

GraceThe autumn sky attunes itself to hearts,
a sour grey murky wash where lost eyes tire.
with insubstantial dust it affects so,
that vision blurs and minds retreat to when
those aged weary organs last supped hope;
and still they seek to quaff before it fades.
Mere dregs they hunger as...

Today and AlwaysToday and always, only you made me gay
Eye-to-eye we collide at the quay
On one blessed moment of spring May
Today and always, you have a way
My heartbeats you made 'em sway
Sweet lovely bard I want to play
Today and always, passion you display
All by my side...

She hears the gentle stirring of the womb
rejoices in the musical duet
attunes herself forever to this tone
a beacon that will always lead to home
tuning forks that vibrate – each - as one
She understands a language – ever new
attuned to eyes and grins and coos

Sounds of SummerThe roar of the neighbor's tractor
as it pulls the cultivator,
the buzz of the helicopter
spraying the planted field,
familiar sounds of summer
near my little rural home.
A distant howling coyote
coveting my clucking hens,
the crowing of the rooster
proclaiming his domain,
the swish of my sickle as
I decimate the weeds
are ordinarily...

Your Heart Knows(Dedication: For Ann, who knows.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow your heart and listen well:
Do what you love and let it show;
All good things start when urge in-dwells;
Your musing dove inspires warm glow.
Go with the flow with inner voice;
Dare to dream big as wonder flames;
Discern and know your steadfast choice;
Sweet...

YeshuaYield to the light,
Embrace love's call;
See heart's grand sight,
Heed rise and fall;
Urge springs to form,
Answer with choice.
Now flings the norm,
Opt cheer to voice;
Word in a word.
Joy hurls the way;
Endow is heard,
Sense attunes say;
Use love's bold quest,
Stillness moves best.

A Tale of DarknessThis is midnight, all slept indeed,
The factory bells do chime,
Ding-dong dong, thrice the sounds arise
From yonder darkling clime.
No one is there, two faint lamps glare,
Who rang the rusty bell?
It must be three, a shade does flee
In earshot...

The Charm of RusticityThe Rusticity
Greeted by a cool morning breeze,
I'm unfolded to a place so serene
With a scented fragrance around, and
The vastness of blue canopy so exalting
Pleasing chirping and twittering
Replace the maddening modern melody
Patterned dew peeks at me with smile
Emanating fragrant air, just right.
The glorified sun...

IntuitionDark is the night when sight feels lost,
Seek the true light that outweighs cost.
All that you know is of the past,
Experience shows that nothing lasts.
Be aware then beyond mere facts,
Why, where and when greet reason's tact.
The path unknown ends with logic,
A way wind blown sculpts...

A Human Quest“Cease not, it’s a human quest”
It’s a whole lot more to see the wonders of nature
The mountains, rivers and trees give delight to human sight
Like for one which searches where beauty rests
it’s in this haven that unlocks its essence.
Perhaps man shapes himself with nature
In simple...

Belief in the beauty of unrequited love blooming
No relief as they replay the sounds of war looming
A chief at the mane of the horse he is grooming
A thief that refrains from the loot he is consuming
A monument erected...

Symphony of SoulsIn corners of the world, where rays smile bright,
There are furry friends, speaking souls in the light.
Cats that prance and dogs that bark,
In every heartbeat, they wait for us with a spark.
Dogs with a shining longing,
With paws whirling on the gleaming asphalt,
Carriers of joy, in...

We Need Not Dance
We need not dance, to others tunes
If we do not wish to
To pulse divine, our heart attunes
Each bliss throb within’s new
There’s no cause to engage
For this world’s but a stage
Bind not soul, in a cage
Let’s keep distance
We need not dance
