Melting
Glistening, peace
Streaming with epiphanies
Resting gently in laughing sprays
Descants of richest notes
Sunlight dissolves the shadows, so peaceful
Echoing across the meadows and hills
Singing to the twilight edges who stills
Revealing gentle, silence so easeful
Winds expose the secrets of the morning
As autumn’s glow colors the world in calm
Gifting the whisper of stars through a psalm
Poetries rise from the heart’s adorning
Seekers of grace rush toward light’s soft flow
Listening in earnest to nature’s song
Descants of leaves whose waltz is never wrong
As winds sing and laugh in a voice so slow
Wild impressions who lulling love conveys
Glories of God who will always amaze
spring songs
eerie storm warnings
mistrals turn new leaves silver ~
baby eaglets hatch
banshee ballads rise
ice frosted meadows shiver ~
pineapple express
rain hums sad lyrics
in mantras of humid breaths ~
sleepy snowdrops wake
plaintive wind oboes
pensive gusts of sad flute songs ~
raindrops pound downbeats
spring songs come in waves
misty descants of plainchant ~
parched earth drinks deeply

Friendship Garden
Springtime plants a friendship garden
Daffodils bloom – a smidge of sass -
Conducts chorus exuberant
Nodding snowdrops chant with pansies
Sing plainsong through dark days of cold
Crocus hum the harbinger’s song
In shades of purple, yellow, white
Narcissus join with harmony
As the melody crescendos
Dainty Jonquils add pure descants
Heart lifting joy in blessing songs
Poppy solos sing in crimson
Fiery notes of breathtaking grace
Hyacinths then trill arias
In sweet notes of lavender blue
Spring garden friends sing operas

WORDS OF WISDOM
CAPTIVATING BELL ON A STEEP SLOPE WITHIN AN ISOLATED WORLD GAVE
SOLACE TO THE HERD
AMONG ANGELIC VOICES MESMERIZING CHANTS ALLEVIATE THE FEARS OF
A LOST NOMADIC SHEPERD
SILENCE UPON TRANSCENDENTAL DESCANTS AND ENIGMATIC RHYMES ON
EVERY NOTE PLAYED BEGAN SINGING
THE HEART CONCEDES AS THE ENDURING SPARKS INSIDE LOVE INTONING
WORDS OF WISDOM REVERBERATE A HEALING

USA
a sanguine set of sun
descants the symphony
of ocean's pulse
within the confines
of my soul
i find serenity
in the depths
of its hold
as my heart
serenades
in quickened strums
beneath the rise
of misted breaths
within the serein
of smoother skies
as they break
cloudless
above the wake
i feel the quake
of tongued whispers
as sand surrenders
below the wave's
firm caress
hear the moans
in climatic gusts
as they thrush back
through the lure
of depths unknown
searching for something more
than this repetitive pressure
against its shores
my mind contours the same
through the grains of time
shattered in memories of fate
where soul escapes briefly
in salted stains
across folds
of ivory flesh
unseen

World for all
what’s human rights?
After a man sits on the ground
His heart impresses from serous occurrence
The sound of the gun, suffer voice, victims
Whom belongs to the world
And what the meaning of human
The soldier walks slow and slow
He descants on his past and future
Family within wife and children in the past
The death is waiting forward
The past memory is better than future
What’s the purpose of development
It is true for better life
Or for showing the power of dignity
The natural human as an elder is more need
More bigger needs more power
