Gnarls Knurl the Grip to Fight

after "Do not go gentle into that good night", by Dylan Thomas

Age can not scour away the furrowed gnarls time obeyed,
Nor mask the snarls, gouged as trenches on brows.
Grace knurls the grip that time has long betrayed,
To swage wrath and fury to a form that age endows.

Grace reveres the knurled design that time has hewn,
Not as a defect or flaw, but as grip etched by yen of years,
Like old trees twisted, contorted, too far gone to prune.
It’s grace that cradles calloused scars, not fears.

It’s the gnarls of age that knurls the last grasp of rage
to rebel against the curse of dusk’s encroaching bite.
Stroking the rebellious snarls that ring on anvil stage,
as loved ones bear the thumps and flails of the plight.

It's the gnarls of age that knurls the grip to fight,
against the blight in the coming of good night.

Don't Look Up

the dark skies laden with swollen rain clouds
with sorrow's stain endows 
haunted funereal shrouds
figures swinging from tree boughs

I AM Thankful For

The new moon peeps behind the hill
To illumine homes beaming still ;
When November kindles goodwill
Thanksgiving ...endows praise which 
  thrill:

And  heaven’s gift pours as foretold,
Blessing this season, lush...behold!
For health, rune of peace...my hands  
 fold

To exalt God ... bounty bestowed!

An Elegy

-------
I feel your soft musk fragrances
The laughter bouncing through the trees; 
As starlight drifts, my arms reach out
When joy of tomorrow freezes--
And trill of teapot chimes of home
Embracing dreams ...could we claim all?

I pulse,  I weep upon heaven's pool
To feel your shadow all aglow:
A visit from skyscape brings calm
On gentle tunes that 's sure to wing,
An afterlife...oh grant me pass
From sacred psalms through your behest --

Till  time endows us   evermore,
That every hour...we taste our bliss!.

Summer's Melting Point

Summer's mask behind glinting flowers—
'Fraid to be seen kneeling at their leaf;
In her passions swathed by the air—
With the blooming sweat to pull it off.

'Fraid to be seen kneeling at their leaf,
She endows her soul around stem's waist;
In her passions swathed by the air,
Like colors' shadows in probing moments.

She endows her soul around stem's waist;
In her passions swathed by the air,
Like colors' shadows in probing moments—
Summer's mask behind glinting flowers.

Cosmic Dance

Quick-witted, untamed, and carefree.
Earth, air, fire, and water—nothing scares me.
Every species is waltzing in an epic symphony.
A maze within a five-pointed star is a mystery.

We launch into the sky in a zigzag path.
Our limbs plead as if they had no lath.
With the aim of rejoining the cosmic dance.
To witness the vitality of our core stance.

The earth underneath us starts to swirl.
We're jamming while we whirl and twirl.
With each stride, we settle into a rhythm.
As we're pulled along by the cosmic prism.

Fire breaks down throughout our souls.
As we journey through the cosmic whole.
Life is a dance with an unending objective.
As our tasks in space start to blur, fictive

There is water everywhere around us now.
As we bear our peace with the cosmic vow.
At this time, we would wish to draw a bow.
Since our being is one with cosmic endows.

Soul Whispers

"all of us are on a journey and the answers are unspoken"
                 ~  Quote by Constance La France 


Each earth life journey is unique,
into which no one else can peek.
Oh hermit, etch these words in stone,
soul speak is known to us alone.

We sail through both life’s highs and lows
and breath by breath, God’s grace endows
but be we joyous or forlorn,
soul speak is known to us alone.

We no longer are, what we were,
for now our head and heart concur.
Secrets divine, we alone own;
soul speak is known to us alone.

As pure awareness, self-aware,
we all can escape ego’s snare.
When erst fears and desires have flown,
soul speak is known to us alone.

The Power of Love

Love
endows with the best value
unique and incomparable,
of the sacrifice.

Love Shows the Way

Ego only knows
joy that comes and goes
but soul,
in the boat God rows,
feels how rapture grows.
Our role,
striking a love pose,
in gentle repose,
life’s goal.
 
Soul’s light that fears stole,
forms in heart a hole.
We will 
heal if we extol
God who makes us whole
and fill
love that does cajole
us to bat and bowl
with skill.

Earth life’s but a drill
letting love instil
bliss dose. 
Taking a chill pill,
letting nectar spill,
endows, 
God’s musical trill,
that cures every ill
lust chose.

Spreading Happiness

S-owing seeds of positivity in every heart
P-aving way for a brighter tomorrow, a fresh start
R-adiating smiles and warmth, spreading cheer
E-ngaging in acts of kindness, year after year
A-iming to make the world a happier place
D-ancing with joy, wearing a happy face
I-gniting hope, where there is despair
N-urturing relationships, showing that we care
G-ifting the gift of happiness, spreading it wide

H-eralding a feeling that uplifts the soul
A- heartwarming emotion that makes us whole
P-ermeating through every inch of our being
P-ositivity and joy, it endows, freeing
I-nfectious and exuberant, it spreads like fire
N-urturing relationships, it brings us closer
E-uphoric and exhilarating, it fuels our desire
S-avoring life's moments, making memories fonder
S-haring it with others, increasing its worth
S-oaking in the happiness, that life brings forth.

Simply Being

Simply being, the truth of Self
We reclaim our essence
Peace yawns and stretches by itself
Bliss replete soul presence

Love’s staff of power glows
Inner radiance shows
As God’s grace so endows

Without doing
Simply being

Quietus

My Love for Rose

		I.

A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose:
     the one for whom I pen this song
that trills a note which sweetly flows.
A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose,
for whom the mind expands and grows
     when the sun's rays burn hot and strong.
A bard and swan, I praise thee, Rose,
with all the sound that rhyme bestows.


		II.

My love for Rose, though torn apart,
     sings like a song which sweetly flows
from this poet's pen as rhythmic art.
My love for Rose, though torn apart,
beats and throbs like a newborn heart.
     But God knows that my love for Rose
endows me with a fresh, new start:
for she's my life's new map and chart!

Midnight Promenade

it's easy to get enthralled
under the spell of incandescence
and hear the songs of sirens in the air

when moonlight glow endows each organism
with a magically intoxicating essence
that entices unsuspecting midnight prowlers

Chapter Sceptre

Essence blend never before encountered
    Requests he bury his nose in her blouse
    Eloquent outrage smoothly surmounted
    Decisive fair decorum she endows


    Petals and pepper sauce complexity
    Cerebellum pillows King's heavy head 
    Slave to prime advisor dexterity 
    Burdensome thoughts bedside storybook read
    

    Prominent gem on band of platinum 
    Temptation's tassles draped in possible
    Syrup super glue subtle acumen
    Fairy floss buffer from bosses hostile


    Daily chest chainmail pools in her presence
    Regal defender dumbfounded in reverence

                 Two Will Overrule

Undercover

Darkness endows the small 
and the ordinary
with poetic power
Falling with the fallen
rising with the chosen
Reaching for 
forgiveness
—and the absence of pain
