Best Ears Poems

Effervescent elation arises and dances to ancient echoes; the rhythm of the drums heartbeat.  
Champagne notes bubble into the night sky; night music of Gaia’s children is music to my sleeping ears.

Ethereal flutes singing to the crickets, 
usher me into the dreamtime and there...

When life is like an evanescent dewdrop,
spirits fade like ashes in a cimmerian shade

but then you smile, 
enlightening like a crescent moon,
sparkling in silent serenity.

My heart floats like a sussuration of butterflies,
soaring toward an empyrean paradise of petals
yearning to stay for eternity

then you speak,
serenading like...

The mountains shout His glory,
As they stand in quiet splendor.
The rivers feed the streams and lakes,
And fertile valley's timber.

The ocean whispers mystery,
And surging, quiet power.
Seems everything in nature speaks,
Each minute, every hour,

Of all the things that God hath wrought,
And given unto Man,
And yet for some...

A mother’s ears  - fine tuned
will pick up on her infant whimpering
          in the middle of the night.

Whether the baby’s cries are soft 
or even if the mother herself is deep in restful sleep,
her child’s...

O for the Wings, Eyes and Ears of an Owl
~~~
Assuming we could do eye-popping things
As does an owl flying the night on wings
When no one knows of antics in moonlight
O for the mystique of a silent flight.

Imagine having circular vision
It'd be alike watching television
If...

My Ears Can't Tell Me, But My Heart Can!


My ears can't tell me 
but my heart can!
I talk with God

My ears can't tell me
What God says
because
I am deaf
How can I receive
His answers?
My heart can tell me!

My ears can't tell me
how
beautiful music
is about God
People think 
I...

It's music to my ears
when night falls quietly enveloping twilight
and the sun conceals itself from view
from my body rising in dawn's light
to the fall at days end into darkness
where I rest 

My mind unwinds from the clanging of men sweating
with sore feet and aching backs
My...

A lesson I have learned before the birds and the bees
was when I tripped, tumbled and fell, frightened by my bloodied knees
My mother came and helped me up, patched my wound, smiled and teased;
“When you fall, always get up, you don’t want to stay down...

The voices of my present state and feelings echo
down into my mother’s sympathetic ears,
They resonate…in no barriers, she decodes
with her warm understanding and great love overflow.

She hears my footsteps on trails of joy and contentment,
giving me her smiles with  supporting hands to go ahead;
She...

I sometimes feel a unique vibration within
my own ears. My baby’s crying, calling from beneath his quilted,
baby-blues. His sobs rustle the warm sheath of home. 
Before my mind reacts, my body is up, hastily tip-toeing
into the nightlight’s calming glow of a cow jumping over the...

I read Darryl Ashton’s poem Called Pinocchio Rex and this brought back 
memories of a childhood incident

When I grew up we had a smallholding – the house was called ‘Longacre’ as we 
had over an acre of land.  Over the years we had chickens,...

Santa, I have an important request.
Please don't embarrass me with ho ho hos.
If you'd looked at my face you might have guessed.
I'm serious about fixing my nose.

I can sense you are stifling your laughter.
Your bowl full of jello, nicely restrained.
Proboscis happily ever after,
Would not appear...

'Twas the night before Christmas, and ...


(THE REQUEST)

Reclining my hammock, very still
(Far too lax to persuade its swing)
I contemplate my Mai Tai's chill
And what I'll plead dear Santa bring ...

Hmmm ...

My hut, provisioned with all I need
Near enough, the white sand beach
A Tahitian wife -...

There's something I'd like Santa, may I ask,
I don't want lots of presents, just this one,
delivery won't be an easy task
so do the rest, leave mine till later on.
As long as you can drop her off by dawn
since I don't want the neighbours all to...

From my lips, to Gods ears
I bow my head and pray
I ask Him then, please grab my fears
and, take them all away

Please give me strength to carry on
when the days aren't going right
Just take these worries away from me
let me sleep throughout the night

I ask...
