Yes mid the-
dance-of the-
weeds-love, is-
a gift, of life, 
given perfect-
union, form, 
fashioning, 
purpose. 


Advancing-onward, outward ... 
upward-throughout-within-all-around-
surrounding us-as it-grows. 


Hearing-the-sweetness-of-its-cry. 


All in flight ... birds-come fluff-up-billow grow 
full, make their-refuge-mid-His wake ... !


God's-Joy, illustrious-welcome-
lay anew under the sky's elucidated-
everywhere-and there,
peace, is-here ...
every way and lea way-dancing in-and-between the light ...
and-as-for now ... time lye still ...
is thrown about and-back-again, 
time-and-again-everywhere-asunder,

Truly ... . 


What-an-honor, this-sweet-grace ...
perfect a righteous gift-it-is.
 
The day waiting patiently-in the morning,
coffee-in-hand moccasin slippers-
waking-up-to-it-the-gentle-waterfall-awaiting-me ... 
cascading-into-a-shimmering-crystal-
still-fresh-rippling, gently-churning-pool-of-dreams,
the many-wonders-of an alliterate life.


Breathing ... breathtaking-to be sure-it-is-a-chore-itself ... 
 
it-takes-time.
 
 
Round and round-a throw-down-
in-and-out-tic-tock-goes the clock-
knock-it-down-drag-it out-
though-it-may-be-a-crucial, bloody,
treacherous seemingly listless brutal ... 
bruising, got beaten-up-again, lowdown hoedown-
gasping-for air-sometimes-

with mercy in hand-
forgiveness-taken-into-the-battle with-it,

Can't be lost.


Tender tales tall tell-timely
in-earnest the-fervency ... divinity-relevancy, 
 
reality of-the-story. 


Stars shine-cast-their-beauty-liberally ...
sheen's of glassy rays-of-overt light-
sparkle-freely-in-their delight-
under-the-moon-laughter ...

Swallows in their benignity ...
wade about puff-up-full-and-billow ... 
shadow's in their whimsy way, 
cast their welcoming ... 
in-the-warming, 
as the weeping tree weeps. 


Cool-pools shallow of-crystal-rock-and-alabaster-sands 
promote their-gentle fondness upon the pond floor. 


Kindred the swallows in-their-promise, 
beauty-benignity ...
in-the-moonlight-they-are one with love, 


and running felicitous ... 

touched by the union 
follows closely the dove ... 
divinity has found a home.


Liberty residing-evolving-
evermore-abounding well-
beside desire, 

the heart-makes-haste. 


Peace stakes its claim in faith, 
in-the-Son's-glorious-arrival, abandon, 
absolution, return. 

 
Cast-about-in-the gesture, 
blowing-free-in the wind growing-
abundantly like the humming bird-
sipping on wild-honey-dripping-
fresh-in-the-rising Summer-Sun ... .
 
 
Splashing-onto dew-drops-
glistening as you-know-
they always do lying upon lilac-

 ~ ... and oh how I live to breath this ... ~

 
~ Because I believe true-love is unconditional and is 
the treasure so-very hard-to come by in this world, 
today. Like the sweet sound of breaking the natural-
freedom-of-rhyme; and-the certain-reverence stirring 
in-the spirit of a home that lives only for this; one pure 
reason. Seen now-and-viewed in-the likeness-
of the-orange and red-brown and-yellow of-a-
joyous-leaf ... blowing-free-in-the-ease of
the wind; and knowing the sound of a 
new hope rising-to-greet-the-greener-
grasses thriving amid-the-perfect-beauty 
growing in-plain view of-the other-side of-
the morning. Stirring-in-the-depths-of-
your-heart and the-well, of your soul ... 
riding-high-atop the puffy white clouds, 
billowing-up-to-greet-the-light of-Heaven.
Yes-those wonderful things ... like the
birds chirping fondly and the gentle 
sounds of a baby's laughter, and
slippery wet little kisses ... given-by-
the-lips-of an angel. As you-hear a 
violent-shouting wake up; wake-
up-and-a-tap-tap-tapping, on 
heavens bedroom door. As 
then your awakened again ... 
and then stumble to the 
challenge of not spilling 
the coffee, and you dance 
once more with your lovely 
daughter in the kitchen. As 
she smiles as-you-spill-it-and-
yell-oh-no-tenderly and you ask 
the wife if she could grab the 
morning paper. Yes that freaky 
tone of-a-squeaky-wet-balloon, 
and the ongoing run-of happy-
little-giggles-that-fill the-air ... 
rising to new heights in the
 pool underneath-the-glory 
of-the-summer-sun ... as your 
young son splashes chlorine-water-
in-your face ... and cup. And-so-is-
love-the-prize in all its' authenticity. 
Sweet-poetry ... . A true and-raw-
emotion ... boldly-running-and-
wildly shouting! "Hey!" ~

~ "Certain conditions-and-ultimatums are just fine, but-don't-you-dare-take my morning-coffee!" ~...

~ So when before I was brought to know such 
a day as this ... yes-once it weighed heavily 
on me the thought; will it ever-come ... 
yes and my pain, will it never-end? ~



~ While in the instance of my depression 
I was unable to see the love of God well 
within the waters, kind reflection; but 
now; now through Him I have come to 
behold and live to tell of the treasure 
therein contained and abounding. Within 
this joyous and ever humbling-divine day 
for me of revelation, and so now; now-my-
joy-has-been-sustained. For when I am to 
ponder the simple nature of His love in all 
of its purity, and patient delights; visions 
of these they skip across my mind from 
time to time. As my eager-hand ... the 
open-gesture, it moves to lay ahold 
of the promise of another. ~ 



~ As this intention that I've picked up I carry 
now and cast-briskly ... into the darkness of 
the moist liquids, to land. As the-ripples gentle 
gliding they come to move in freedom across 
the vivid reflection, of this glassy-sheen, while 
slowly they are brought to roll along evenly 
with me-and-onward to-lay in peace-beside 
the stillness; of the open-shores. As-swiftly my-
thoughts of God-and-life they move and-dance, 
upon the-humble shallows deeper and-ever deeper 
into the heart, of the waters ... and so my heart 
here stands-in view of-this-and feeling fonder. ~ 



~ For-the tender ... thoughtful-kisses I give each 
place here in my heart that abide-amid the presence 
of Gods' supreme love, and-perfect-goodness; given-now-
for the many blessings that I see. Amid the glory of-His 
many-other-wonders; I give my-heart again this-day; more-
time ... for the nature of their-open-beauty; to-ponder. ~

Gentle lullaby of truth so divine my Sweet Phonation of Grace Faithful Father,

find me well within Your mercy illuminated high, upon the beauty; of Your gape.

 
So ... that being-restored, entire, delivered (in all my joy secured there in 
Peace through You for the remainder of my days, here ... and beyond); 
I know it will be then; for me, when received, in true liberty ... Your

"I believe-that-my-faith-and-I, walk-hand-in-hand-with Jesus, my deliverer.
So therefore ... will-I-never-walk-alone".


So show me beauty; true love beheld ... 
butter cups thorny white milky baby, budding roses-
playing beside dancing lilies caught up in their passions, 
mid the prevalence ... of the new morning winds, undying 
laughter ... unable to be kept, purely acquired sown of faith 
through the fresh wounds; of our Lords treasured innocence.
As so it is I feel ... the beauty, you will feel, and too will see, 
what it means to be truly falling in love with God, furthermore, 
as you embrace the chance again ... .To view, and live moreover 
even greater as you look, openly upon these things,  coming to 
know and accept the Joy that all God's creation ... already 
knows, and holds up for you each day
maturing and arriving, 
in the welcome found adrift

offered, to you through the love of our Lord 
swirled up today here, and now, again just for you ...
