Premium Member Rites of Passage
Remember the day
Apron strings loosed,untied
as maternal voices faltered and cried
Remember the day
When a soprano voice lost its elan
and a boy became a man
Remember the day
Peer pressure would not hide
and diffidence was replaced with pride
Remember the day
Desire,with warm whispers heard
questions,answered with just three words
Remember the day
Filled...

Passage to Beyond

Our loved ones leave this world
 softly fading
 a secret smile playing 
upon their lips
What do they see beyond the mist?
Is someone there? Waiting?

Others volunteer to disappear from this place
thinking it is the only solution 
to their heart shattering
from events old and new
Seeking...

The Passage of Spring
The face of Spring on this misty morn
invites the seer of sights.
The mountain peaks in fog are adorned
as you view ascending heights.

Quiet rules this early daylight hour
while some yet nestle in bed.
Here, amidst misty morning showers,
of beauty, so much can be said.

Nature parades this passage...

Premium Member Time's Passage
Vernal springtime is departing,
Leaving plush carpets of petals,
All along scented garden paths,
And also in luxuriant meadows.
The sun has grown deep orange,
With distinct traces of old gold.
Stars embedded in purple flash,
As moon magic charms the hills.
Rosy halcyon days are leaving,
And the mellow hours are near....

Premium Member Pastoral Passage - Church Crypt
Butterfly wing door vestibule builds anticipation  
Shuffled, carpet muffled greetings, familiar embraces                     
Piloted by Holy Spirit, seated hushed congregation 
Ritual of ornate cathedral thanks...

Free Passage
I just got free passage out of the graveyard,
I got my Get Out Of Death jail release card
It’s all GOOD ... all very, very GOOD
Grace coverage bought on crimson cross bloody wood
Resurrection is my free ticket out of here,
if you’re not Christ connected, you’re in...

Persuading October from her quiet lair
Shedding the pleasures of life’s fictional realms
Mouthwatering plunder, gathering to share

Swirling through the silence, round oaks, pines and elms
Secrets and shadows reflecting nature’s rush
Flames of ginger, shushing dark who overwhelms

Sweet dreams are splattered with hope by God’s paintbrush
Storm wrecking peace...

Rite of Passage
We seem to have it all
As we want for nothing
In the darkness of the womb 

We are evicted into the light
Sadness, then happiness 
Unaware of the looming doom

We seem to have it all-
Sadness, then happiness
Cloudy-vorfreude abloom 

We hustle, we jump huddles 
We cry, we hate,...

HAIKU PASSAGE 4


Adjust your gaze:
Soul flame now lights
Discern the flow

~~~~~~~~~


True being springs
Watch vain stuff fall;
Address focus

~~~~~~~~~


Frangipani tale --
Beauty blossoms;
Flowers chatter

~~~~~~~~~

On the verge
Haiku passage;
Nature nurtures poise

~~~~~~~~~


Sacred word
Aromatics --
Bottled cheer

~~~~~~~~~

Premium Member The Sanctuary's Unsafe Passage
That kiss parted lips 
like Moses parted the Red Sea
and all the Love in words and deeds
walked out of the darkness 
of a cavernous domain 
the inner Everest rising 
between the time of drowning
the mind climbed 
the tongue rolled out
like a red velvet carpet
delivering unsafe...

Dear Ancient Sister
I hear your distant calls finding me on a gentle breeze
You have lived in my dreams for many seasons

My voice 
Your voice
My soul
Your soul
And our Coming of Age

I have always known you...
I have heard your 
Quiet whispers echoing in
The night coming...
