Best Elders Poems

A long time ago when our first grandson was young -
I think around the age five or six -
there was a phone call we made to him
to say hello and talk with him for kicks.

We'd tried to make it short because of his attention span.
He’s...

Wise Elders are patient,
fully embrace compassion's communication
and health care
of climates and cultural landscapes,
animated persons,
sacred spaces,
organic places,
panentheistic plants
and monotheistic planet
impassioned hopes
and pleasant dreams
rebuilding positive faith.

Wise Elders co-passionately listen
for karmic grace of love peaks 
overflowing.

If Wise Revolutionaries 
for revivalist change,
clearing murky swamps,
then WiseElder re-connecting evolutionaries
toward perennial peace
restoring...

Salute to elders for being adult!
Adulthood, mysterious experience
Of days of lightness and darkness
Of days of fear and confidence
Even though both at a time.

Salute to elders for being adult!
Mysterious experience
Spiritual and natural
Mount the chest
As though load.

Salute to elders for being adult!
Mysterious experience
Wide knowledge
They speak in proverb
Words...

Here today; gone tomorrow
In a blink of an eye there could be great sorrow
Jesting no more, just past memories
Kindnesses give always, even if you disagree

Embrace them as if there’s no tomorrow...

The elders speak in timeless tones to reconcile the past,
And offer truths from which we choose to fill the roles we're cast.
But though the sage will muse how well the truths can guide our way,
So few will heed and recognize the worth of what they...

The elders shall pray 








 My desired haunted trails, my soul feels warmth
 I seek the refuge in colors and hues
 In reality my spiritual fires aspire each orb
 With my feathered one, secluded wills

 The elders shall pray







 My soul with you in thy...

The Elders Say 

The Elders say that fears make you weak;
And you should always think before you speak.
They teach to treat all as your sister or brother;
And the planet as your Great Mother.

They say actions are more honorable than words;
And all messages are delivered by...

By the Sun and Moon, we see our home; Mother Earth and Father Sky.
These are the four corners of the gardens.
Teardrops from the sky sprinkle the rosemary, sage, and lavender during the Moon’s reign.
As the Moon resigns for the day, hues of golden light arise...

Alike an Elderberry tree and conspicuous
not a Honeysuckle sweet vacuous
we ripen with antiquity
an intoxicating aroma of iniquity

Folklore spirits rhyming in chant
Elder-mother wood nymph with plant
never growing obsolete as to everlasting
if faith be with red berries blasting

Blooming in all lands twas platinum
not of gray headed falsely...

Now that am in this deep dark hole am so...

I once saw two elderly Elders sitting side by side.           		
While one elderly Elder was thin, the other was wide!
Heard the older elderly Elder say, he was feeling old
And feeling quite ill from a terrible...

And round about the throne were
four and twenty seats: and upon
the seats , I saw four and twenty
elders, clothed in white raiment,
and they had on their heads crowns
of gold
— Rev. 4:4
Also, Num. 1:4-17


From Elizur to Ahira,
from Shedeur to Enan
These were renown princes of the twelve...

Elder's wrinkles--antique lace,
Taking selfies is a disgrace,
We're the sperm who won the race,
Staying positive is a grace,
Now put a smile on your face!...

THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IT WAS AN HONOUR TO SPEND TIME WITH MY GRANDPARNETS, TO LISTEN TO THE MANY STORIES THAT THEY HAD TO TELL ALWAYS WITH AWE AND AMAZEMENT.

BUT AS I HAVE BECOME A SENIOR MYSELF AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH...
