slumbering river 
reflects blue skies beneath sun
mirrors moon by night

deep in its belly
meanders along the path to
deliverance

My Slumbering Muse


     My slumbering Muse in her hidden dreams

     Has slept still beside me and not stirred,

     And though in shallow sleep, or so it seems,

     Has not...

Seeds:
You, humble vessels of eternity
That 
God’s will into the core of your 
Very being carry,    
Hibernated wisdom you are, awaiting the
Call of nature  
For
To unfold the glorious slumbering powers in you, 
Materializing thus
The anticipated heavenly plan of 
Miraculous life!

Oh seeds,
Teach me...

Your little breathes of air
They're like descending cherry blossoms
Your rising and falling chest
It's like the lull of waves
Your flickering eyelids
Are like the songs of birds
Your peaceful face
Shines like a starry nights moon
Your tiny hands holding mine
Are like penguin families sticking close
Your smile when you awaken
Is...

Hard-working iron workers from Wales are slumbering now
They have earned the comfortable rest of the dead,
For years they got up in the dark and began their work
Clanging and banging iron together, forging and welding
That is all over now, their ears are quiet, and they have...

Peaceful slumbers arrive at later times as years do so pass...
Life's experiences has taught us all that every event in life only
flashes by to be listed in God's own records of our deeds and mis-deeds ever 
shinning or in the last past!

Sleep descends on our...

a cog in the wheel and a log on the fire

of dreams I hallucinate unless the days

are visions of sleepless delusions of truth


its real and surreal when nights close in

I used to be a knight in shining armour

kissing the princess after conquests won


life matured and...

Precious Baby Boy was slumbering,
In a manger once upon a time,
Adored by His parents, life sublime.
Soft-hoofed camels came lumbering, following a sign.

Three spiritual wisemen arrived,
Excited, though traveled so far,
Faith brought them to this humble stable,
Following a vibrant star,

They were welcomed in by the young family.
Where...

Slumbering Science

A world of separate objects
Has been the province of science
For centuries following centuries..
But now an occasional shudder
Cast by an uneasy perception
That our roots in separation
Have been only a useful dream..
The dream has turned sour 
And has drawn a darkened film
Over eyes..eyes seeking  
Understanding...

A beautiful girl everyone said, relatives hushed in reverence
Sweet baby who never made a sound, surrounded by love
Slumbering on earth as she watched our reactions from heaven. 
Perfectly formed tiny fists and pretty cheeks, gorgeous coloring
Trevina never opened her eyes yet impacted our lives forever

In the bounded citadel of slumbering souls,
Where the search is mute and the waiting - an unwritten world,
Wrestling roots of unplanned love twist and coil,
Bursting wild in the field where reason holds no visa.
While thought slumbers under a vault of silver, unasking,
Restless hearts, unsummoned, play...

Dark clouds gather slow 
A rumble in the distance sleeps 
Lightning's fiery kiss...

There was a man from Donbas

There was a man from Donbas,
   who sat on a headless ass.
"Hey! You're going the wrong way!" he did say,
   "and your breath smells of foul grass."

So, moved to the States he arranged,
   dreaming...

Softly she slumbers, a vision to see,
A smile on her face, serenity.
No worries or cares, no troubles in sight,
Just peaceful repose, a gentle delight.

Her snores, a gentle hum, a sweet serenade,
Cute and girlish, a symphony to aid,
My heart beats faster, my love grows anew,
In this...
