I Saw The Great And Mighty Wave


I saw the great and mighty wave
As it came,
The emerald glistening of its heart,
A chasing spasm under blue-lit sky
Dawn's glow gave a twinkling start
And in the mist doubt flew right on by!

I saw the great and mighty wave
As it...

I stand, the most statuesque, peeking through the clouds
that lend their softness as my pillow when sun in midnight drowns.

Golden sun, a fitting crown for a majesty such as me;
Somber moon, my nightcap; tundra stockings on my feet.

Veins of icy water; hair of snow drifts...

When the blackest nightmares were realized
and bitter truth pierced cracked, brittle armor
When candles of last hope flickered and faded
and darkness closed on the edge of vision
When despair careened towards insanity
and aching fists and fingers began to slip
When the abyss called, a mighty hand reached
and lifted...

It was always there, rooted deeply, in my backyard.
                   That mighty oak, it was so beautiful, so noble, and strong.

"the mighty sea is she"

mesmerizing is the body of ocean blue
bestowed upon me are sights and sounds
more than tides rolling to and fro
she is the mighty sea apart from earth and sky

beyond comprehension as I glance and stare
this wonder continues far and wide to infinity

Broken hearts
begged light to brighten broken hearts,
the frozen and forlorn
beckoned despairingly for warmth, solace,
and begging was answered, at last.
Unforgiving and radiant
he always came back
from behind mournful cover
at some place and time, unexpected,
to caress the land, or devour it.
Scorched and fevered
seekers lined the sands,
the sands baked,...

The paths were arcane
and the truth not easily known,
the creatures were formidable
and man's ways easily obscured,
be the black air warm or cold.
It was she who presided
over such paths and creatures,
and saw the man and his secrets
and knowingly kept them,
but cursed them all the same.
If it...

Storms, mighty storms proceed
Coming from the far west
Bringing Pacific's anger
On their trip with a quest

The north wind howls fiercely
Uses its whip on the trees
Bending, breaking branches
Nature brought to its knees

But during this chaos 
Somehow, I'm allured
At raw power prevailing
Wonder how the weak endured

In your raging...

Now usually when a spider finds its way into my home
I squash it right away saying, hey my space alone

But one day I came upon a fuzzy little spider there upon my dryer
Frantically running up and down the chrome strip which looked like a mirror

He...

you dried all my tears
i stand proud now like the oak---
no weeping willow

your splendid branches
wrap me into your shadow---
shelter from the storm

wind blows me down
your light lifts me up---
might i dwell in your arms?

A drapery flutters of sunlit glory
With lustrous stars gleaming near;
Hovering  around  the ‘ Pearl of Orient ‘
Where seven thousand islands adorn
Tints of liberty, peace, and independence;
Radiant in hues… crimson, blue, white
Flaming the hearts of a race blessed
By lush rice terrains and summer winds.

O,...

Redbone, A Mighty Blow Given Night That You Died


He a mighty dog, grandpa just called him Redbone
As big as a hog, he weighed in over six stone. 
Part black bear and part mutt, his growl scared one and all
Hellfire in his gut, Pap would bear...

Power begins a trickle,
     Becomes a river,
          From the giver,
               Of a river!

Infinity of divinity,

He is turning green…
Someone just made him real mad—
Keep the man happy!...

Your strongest day is standing
just outside your door. Let it in.

Each day the sun comes home to you 
it whispers with the wind
calling out your name.

This is no video game.

Life’s a bouquet banquet 
made from your reflections.

You do not need directions.

Pick your moments carefully.
Stop and...
