				       Beach Omaha	

At Omaha an old man stands and limps down  to the shore,
Where on this sand he crawled and  ran so many years before.
The skirl of pipes still in the air, the ceremony o'er,
He knows the ghosts who haunt this

THE EVER DWINDLING FEW
				      At Juno Beach

At Juno Beach an old man stands and limps down  to the shore,
Where on this sand he crawled and  ran so many years before.
The skirl of pipes still in the air, the ceremony o'er,
He knows the ghosts who haunt this coast in

Dwindling Population

The rural church closed....
                                                   

Dwindling Decay

"Dead leaves lay still until the wind takes them
         here and there:  even the last flower is withered:
yet there is a beauty in decay. " 
                    

Dwindling Days

Time tracking quickly, dwindling days

now gently golden- but yielding yearnings.

Fast fleeting years slide swiftly

leasing lesser time for loving life.

God grant me hopeful hows

to still share life's remnant roses

in blissfully blessed pending peace.

Falsehood Dwindling

Hyacinths in a trance, bewitched by hysteria,
Amid the shadows of a mythological eclipse.
Elixir of roseate red oozing out loose progeria,
In islands where the sea weeps azure breaks.

Amid the shadows of a mythological eclipse,
Daunting me subtly with its crimson smell.
In islands where the sea weeps azure breaks,
From golden dust to smooth bristly as well. 

Daunting me subtly

Dwindling Faith

Steeply, a mingling of the breaths occurring,
With ashes of raw pearls that were burned,
Preciseness is masked by contrasts of shading,
Pallid and toxic myths reap the rot observed. 

With ashes of raw pearls that were burned,
After the ecstasy spell, the disillusion dwindling,
Pallid and toxic myths reap the rot observed, 
Is it true that we are completely

Non Dwindling River

I was hovering across a brook that echoed slump.
I was inspiring a hoary praxis out of camp.
The river, with its vibrant species, reflects my pain.
It flows but never dwindles, unseen to our brain.

Somebody is endlessly esteeming in glances to you.
Living in this shining world is lenient with such subdue.
You utterly reach a staggering ability that

Dwindling Birds

A group of odd birds took off from me as of late.
Hovering over my sleek head, gazing persistently.
I was feeling depressed and desolate.
Same as a purple bit afar away on a swingletree.

I swore angrily they wouldn't turn dark.
Farmers no longer dread local herds. 
From then on, I returned to lark.
I'm excited to watch the vile birds.

Soaring

Color of Butterfly

Impressed by its color I went to chase it,
Taking small steps towards the direction it flew.

Those white stripes on its wings seem to reflect the sun rays,
The yellow border on its body was the color of sun itself.
Wandering after some time, it sat on a blossom,
Without being noticed, I caught its wings between my fingers.

The

Dwindling Night

As I combed your hair so fair,
It glistened strawberry red,
We embraced nature’s bounty
Through the stories that I read

Content, tranquil, restful
As you laid upon your bed
Crisp sheets, below your chest,
I tracked your every breath

Palm cross beneath your pillow,
Same place it's always kept
Your elegant, fine eyelashes
Curtsied graceful as you slept,

I took a million photographs
Through the lenses of

A Year Dwindling Down

Apple cheeked autumn eyes bashful skies, as

Yellow frocked summer says her goodbyes to fragrant
Earth's seeded spring, to wild bouquets
Arranged by careless care, for the
Roses and daffodils to compare

Dandelion sprinkles of buoyant cheer on
Windswept wishes from children's magic, landing
In water lilies and long looping lanes, woven in
Nests of chirping, fragile hope
Delicate shadows of feather and wing
Lingering

A Year Dwindling Down

Assured by the Almighty’s grace abounding…

Yearning for contentment is settled today and yon
Exuding hope, expressing bright future’s expectation
Affirming moving-on pursuits toward aspiration-ascent
Reminding good days ahead with revival replenishment.

Despite threatening dearth causing despair
Whispering angst, obscuring wishes with worries
Indefatigable spirit overcomes inconveniences
Never surrendering; advancing nonetheless
Depending on God, the sovereign Defender
Learning life lessons while liberated by His love
Illumined

A Year Dwindling Down

A
Year set stained by grief from invisible foe,
Enraged in anxiety’s malicious chains.
Accosting not only a nation but world,
Reaching the farthest, secluded parts,
Devilishly leaving no stone unturned.
Withholding grandpa from grandson,
Idly stripping people’s livelihoods,
Needlessly voiding human liberties,
Disabling dictators from their seats.
Looking now,
I see chains now fastened to skin,
New normals of ill compensation.
Grief that forms the setting of

A Year Dwindling Down

A turn and tilt from earth to sun

Your hot desire for summer fun
Eases into autumn’s tempering mood
A mellow scene of colorful cool
Restful, contemplative soothe. 

Dangling leaves restless to descend 
With bright flare, a path to transcend 
In metamorphosis from living to dying
Needing a break from ever striving 
Decomposing after its release
Life’s dizzy cycle, thus to
