Knowing She Sees How Deeply She Is Missed
(Tribute To That Greatest Of Love, A Mother's)
Blue-cold morns rising to light a fire
mother, cooked on wood stove truly ancient.
She out of sweetest of love's truest desire
provided nourishing food so patient.
Not asking praise for her unselfish deeds
washing dirty clothes in an old wash-pan.
By love's examples she planted new seeds
windy-flames of reliance such did fan.
Now time, with its many decades have flown
beloved mom, passed on to her reward.
We, her thriving huge brood, are now all grown,
feel her love and know why she worked so hard.
Knowing she sees how deeply she is missed
we thank her, each beloved face she kissed.

SONNET, (Tribute to our mother and to mothers everywhere, THAT SACRIFICE WITH THE DEEPEST OF UNSELFISH LOVE FOR THEIR CHILDREN)
------
I started this poem back in May, 2017. I finished the last two verses this morn.
Hesitant to post because I feel it is not worthy enough but alas (!), I also know with my meager writing talent , I can do no better.
Thus, with my wife's prodding, I post and pray it is deem worthy as a tribute by all that read and love ever so dearly their own wonderful and loving mothers!
Beauty That Rivals The Red Rose
He the gardener she the rose
She was only flower he chose
Days he gave her his very best
Under moonlight glow they both rest.
With great care he keeps her from harm
Always enamored by her charm
Whenever she mentions her thirst
Sate her needs, he is always first.
At dawn's first calling she wakes up
Her petals with his hands he cups
With true love, admiring her grace
This dark world together they face.
His life for her beauty so fair.
Together, love's beauty they share.

In silence, undisturbed tonight,
how softly, deeply Winter creeps,
imparting token mounds of white.
In silence, undisturbed tonight,
Full Moon, who casts pearlescent light,
is keeper of a world that sleeps
in silence undisturbed tonight.
How softly, deeply Winter creeps.

Lips touch the tip of morning with the awakening
of thine eyes,
accompanied
by inexhaustible
thoughts of only
you. Drifting away
from abed, thoughts
trace in tandem with
thy body in lost sight
within the flat-bottomed
vessel. Water pouring
down accreting to the
seductive oils
forming to
crystallized
foam.
Drowning
deeply
in
Love.
Pace, G

Feet not up yet dreaming looking into the deep distant horizon screams
need to take turf in remembering howls across oceans mourning dream special wish
You would want a good fire tonight for sure ice stormy fierce cold cutting
out walking giant waves hitting of the shore thundering pounds lashing clash
Today the wind fairly woke me up piercing wide eye opening vision
Then when I got home just felt ten years younger alive again one storm
Now that's a good omen laughing to myself carries one to the high Heavens
Must be the salted spray love mixed with sea mist smashes you to the ground love
New therapy go out to the sea front as gales howling with angry force break news
blowing giant waves crashing heavy of cliffs thundering roars echoes inside sad
Wind spitting sea salt sand peppering the face in your hardened heart
hate remains your driving engine unforgiving hung up on the past
This world has become so depressing
cutting to the soul removing the rights of prayer
everyday listening to a gestapo styled media that tells nothing but lies
morning noon and night it speaks of nothing but misery
Under martial law pushing restriction after restriction
pandemic is the new scamdemic that poisons minds
turning neighbour against neighbour removing peaceful living
Chaos you are the virus silencing the truth from speaking
war is declared on those whom choose to live life in faith
this new age has put their beliefs squarely on a piece of fabric
God be merciful to us all as many characters have become judgemental
they talk like the voodoo doctors that support the culture of death
twisted science has no place in society attacking our personal choice
the past repeats itself only under different tactics
Liberals are not Holy
they are wolves dressed up as sheep pretending to care
this is just another exercise in abusing human rights
There Winter Lonely Fallows Deeply Dream
Long after that ripe golden sunset gleam
Cool silvery tones, wavering light;
Then winter lonely fallows deeply dream
Into the grayish ghostliness of night.
Far off, yet looming bold and strangely near,
Within starry heavens they are aureoled,
Forested mountain-ranges far westward rear
Their high guardian towers as of old.
And lo! above their ancient stormy deeps,
In pensive grandeur, icy frozen browed,
One glorious forest summit there keeps
Transcendent vigil alone, pure and proud.
And we who see that shining symbol turn
A moment's while from its lone transient mood;
From that brief moment we clearly discern
Our lost souls within Nature's solitude.
Robert J. Lindley

Note- Sorry my friend- I know I promised you a sonnet on winter and Nature written today but my muse insisted on two more verses.
I learned long ago. my muse is a very vindictive beast when disobeyed.
A thousand echoes
whispering through the deep seashell
As the common bond between us
brushing sands
is lovingly holding
Sweet gentle tenderness
On desert dry lips
winds of change kiss
Looking towards the mountains
snow covering her face
White clouds cap the head
Just a plain country boy
Drifting away with shadows of a past life's pain
Holding dreams
finding your love completes the circle of a promise
Believing something greater exists
As the birds sing over amazing grace
Searching the high plain
Blue holds heaven's vision
As a cold wind alone cuts clean to the marrow
Clearly cut starlight jewels twinkle star of stars
whispering seas turning tides move under waves
From within the sand their remains footprints
unfolding electromagnetically radiation beams
You are filtered through darkness love
emitting the most beautiful of light
Warm holding forever priceless clarity
silver lining every cradle under the moon howls
When the orchard grows deeply lush
filling all rows with grapes
etched by dusk like a bold paintbrush,
I trace its outline’s silhouette
and rove along this patch
Where quarter moon draws a vignette
as leafage unfurl like coiled frills
showing off plump of red …
fruits ripe turned into wine on mills
nectar releasing piquant scent--
A harvest which imbues
Nature, her life- giving intent.

I stand beneath a moon so bright
and ask for you to hear my plight
I yearn to know my love's delights
for that, I'd wait a thousand nights
My plea is gentle and polite
my wish is simple and forthright
I need your help, oh wondrous sprite
to bind our hearts, forever tight
I pray my lover's heart's your sight
and trust your aim be true and right
I beg you, stretch your bow string tight
and send your arrow on its flight
Pierce deeply, Cupid, this I write
and make our love come true this night
Kingfishers So Deeply Water Diving
The moon filled nights are now waiting
In a sky filled to its fullest view
As life catches the fish we are baiting
Hope brings love forth once again anew!
Sweet trees are now ripe and bearing
Huge fruit destined to be our gift
Faith and love are both softly caring
For streams flowing with us so very swift!
Future days await our faithful arriving
Hours we spend storing our hopes in dreams
Like Kingfishers so deeply water diving
Sweetest loves flow in the brightest streams!
Forever our hopes hold us in this deep embrace
We that love God and accept his eternal grace!

I am enthralled by his aura.
I am mesmerized by his strength.
He is my Samson.
I am his wanton princess.
He is as bronze as Tut.
Somewhere in the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, we will make love.
Under the sunset within a pyramid, my womanhood will evolve into beautiful Queen Emanuel.
For the Lord is surely with us.
As we honeymoon, I am his strength and he is my comforter.
He will take me in his arms and serenade me at night.
We will visit many places for splendor inside.
We walk in antiquity.
We are enjoying this time.
We are lovers.
We are husband and wife.
Somewhere in Ancient Egypt, we will make love tonight.
Our time here is brief; therefore, we want memories to capture.
As our souls integrate, our spirit ignites.
For the Lord is surely with us.
This is our honeymoon afire.
He is my essence.
I am his desire.
Enraptured, I feel the rhapsody of my lovers thrust.
A euphoric atmosphere is the effervescent.
We will take these memories to higher plateau.
We are so deeply in love.
Cairo, Egypt is our last visage under the Egyptian sun.
We will be here three days and two nights making love amongst the stars.
Our lunar existence is astrophysical.
We will conquer our destiny and embrace our wealth.
Love so deeply does not happen often enough.

Penned on October 21, 2014!
Memory particles blow away like dust,
while heart emotions root deeply in us.
Sweet talking buttercups
when your petal lips moved
I was held in a butterfly trance
floating warm heartbeats of breath
skipping inside drum rolls
batting lids whisper silently
behind scenes on chamber walls
precious deep gem shines
Dancing vision of beauties light
dark jewels sparkling star luster treasure
Princess pearl of the night sky
alone wolf cold moon in shadows of life
smiling beautiful silver lining thoughts
dreaming of your smile
The happiness in special moments
your eyes such mirrors dazzling me
in you I found a beautiful soul
floating with the spirits
singing an angel
