The womb of a mother is a cradle for a child to grow in 
a nine month gestation grace period is a child's sweet elation 
Mother tenderly sings to her little one as she waits to give birth !

A mother is a vessel of purity,...

(Triple Tetractys)

It
happened
so quickly
I was amazed.
The fog lifted, to reveal a painting
like an artist's imagined fairy tale.
A sea of cloud
supporting
a new
world.
Peaks,
valleys,
and forests,
in the heavens.
I found myself looking for the beanstalk!...

Your love for song is all over known,
All fair boys lure you with the melody
Of their ill-tuned harps, and tone
Their ill-meant motives of the body
With deceptive tunes that easily tempt.

But I think there's much you can learn
From the didactic lyrics of maturer harps
That pipe the...

A love departs that could never be-
Tears trickle down  face,
Mahler played at his slowest pace,
Langsum,adagietto-slow.

   Laud and glorify Thy name

swaying reeds chiming with the breeze
as silver branches dart strumming a dream,
at will, beneath harps of light

Rain Harps

Angels pluck on strings of dew
that drift from rain pink skies.
Vibrations of their harps ring true
and touch our daily lives.

Angels pluck on silver strands
that shower from gray clouds.
Peaceful melodies from hands
in dulcet tones endowed.

I went down to the zoo today,
I watched the pink flamingos cuddle
their lovely long necks swaying
in little loving nuzzles.

Such graceful heartstrings they caressed
my spirit; brought me to a near swoon.
Such passion those two did possess;
were so very much in-tune.

Leaving my heart valves, all aflutter

The music had me feeling optimistic, hopeful.
They were playing love harps, an all-encompassing song.
In rain sleep, I sensed the angels before I saw them.
Surrounded by love, I feel nothing can go wrong.
