Our fantasy has taken us to many places
But since the advent of documentries on TV
We can now travel the world like never before
No longer do we have to rely on our imagination
Right there before our very eyes
The whole world is there for us to see
Visions we could only dream of
Are now shown to us in detail
With all their beauty and splendour
In living full colour and detail
The customs and passions of each land
The beauty of the snow capped mountains
The streams and lakes
The vast grasslands, the unending forests
What amazing visions our eyes perceive
This world is made of amazing images
To dazzle our senses
The glories of Mother Earth

** THE GLORIES NEAR **
Here! The Glories have arrived from
afar..as far as east from west.
The Glories come riding mists
To lead us leaping over our discontent;
over waves lost from their beaches,
their glimmers grayed,and moon sunken.
The Glories bring our maps to
The Exquisite: our longing, our desire.
But, the routes, so hard to decipher…
We are slow pioneers of the holy-All!
May the Glories set aflame our spines,
Running currents to thrill us up from
Our sleeping, our trances, our
Vagaries, so we may again seek and see…

morning glories climbing the ancient wall
dawn of lovely harbingers
blue trumpets greeting morn

Flowers
The wonders of nature
The garland for the earth
The attractions for the eyes
Come in various glories
The sun-abiding sunflower
The paper-like fragile bouganvillea
The bell-like greeting morning glory
The desire-burning flame of the forest
The wishes - carrying petals of chrysanthemum
The strong penetrating perfume of beautiful roses
All showing the beauty and youth
Of the nature
And the blessings of God

As the real aura of our better angels presents
That they are essential to historical events
It stirs and shakes one to the core of reverence
Infidel's ancient cries refrain far faint ringing
Winging their will of distant darkness, way off singing
Articulating it into nature's aria
Gabriel spreads gloried messages with wide white wings
Touching three theologies: all Abrahamic faiths -
Includes Christianity, Judaism and Islam
Archangels may cometh once every few hundred years
Gabriel brings grace as it's needed, it appears
His broad arching flaming feathers cover every verse
Angelic influence flows forever beyond sages
When Gabriel appears from the side of the Divine
To tell mortals of their roles in this passion sublime
So says Jesus' scriptures and Muhammed's Quran pages
Karmic grace does glow glory across all of life's phases
Then from within, overlook the thought that belief is fear
Hold back the black and let light lead us on, start right here
Gabriel gazes the universe beatifically

Morning Glories dance with ease
trumpet flowers among weeds
twirling petals pirouette
with a dainty, shy coquette.
Swirling purples blend to white
pistils are a bee’s delight
glory visions, how they rise
from low canyons to grand skies.
Flowers dance to nature’s tune
crickets chirp and songbirds croon
lively leaves rustle, they are fans
critters spy the scene at hand.
Morning Glories dance with ease
trumpet flowers among weeds.

O' That Our Sad And Vain Glories Wouldst Suffice
O' that our sad and vain glories wouldst suffice
to soothe our nightmare moods, their poisoned queries
angry shadows that prowl long and empty corridors
seeking joy at any precious costs
Alas! Sweet promise that sets its hidden traps
eager for the follies of man-made schemes
steeped within weakness and failed hopes, darkness of flesh and bones
and fated to stagger in blindness of lust and deep decay!
O' that heart and soul could once truly join
to walk upright in radiance of truth and light
dance under moon's warmth giving rays
sing to its cheerful gifting arc
and praise its glory that shines for us all.
O' that darkness lost its deceiving powers
turning to ash from fires long since smothered
in the rise of mortal reach and wisdom beyond,
beyond mere existence and vanity compounded by Fate's hand
thus scale to soaring heights once given to Olympic Gods
devoid of tempestuous failing's, they all too sadly embraced.

Each daybreak dad awoke at the crack of dawn
when the dew clung. to our manicured lawn
He would check on the vines with a loving hand
then water the flowers, yes he loved his land
I'd wake up to the scent of coffee and old stories
to the sound of a hose, and purple glories
Those were the days when I was young, carefree
dreaming of a future taller then me
each day he would scramble eggs then eat
between mouthfuls, our eyes would meet
I didn't know that years later I could still recall
the shade of his eyes, the one that said it all...

He speaks to the wind, who obeys Him
Who is He that speaks to the wind?
JESUS
He speaks and it is so all is CREATED
Who creates with just His spoken word?
God
Glory, glory is the story
The maker of all and everything
The great I AM
Holy One GOD
He speaks and all is well
He came down in the shell of man
Holy, holy man GOD/GOD man and His names is
GOD

A fragile flower which grows directly from the ground
You grow near a fence and tangle yourself with it as you grow.
You climb up that fence in a spirle manner
I can see your beautiful buttons from inside my house
I give you a little bit of miracle grow to give you a growth boost
Your astounding beauty in which you blossom gives you that glamorous, colorful look no other can't resist staring.
The gorgeous of your freshness gives you glamor
The glamor of your texture gives you color
You come in any color not just one.
The season you're born in is my favorite season of all
Love is what triggers your growth sprout.
You alone multiply yourself into a dozen.
I wonder if I merge you with another color of your kind.
Will you become a hybrid morning glory?
Which draws attention to my eyes
My eyes see no other color when it sees you
You are the color in which grow likes a rainbow
The rainbow gives you shines regardless what season you blossom
The might color of your beauty is the color of nature
Nature sees no other beauty no other than you
You are the beautiful flower which lifts my spirit.

Morning glories my climbing vines-
Old nightshade faded late-
Early dawn saw sunrise mauve-
My love never sleeps past eight-
Old nightshade faded late-
With sun rays golden show-
Horizon’s orb bring hues of orange-
Breaking light warms nights of cold-
With sun rays golden show-
Lover awaken from slumber-
Breaking light warms nights of cold-
Sleeping done as new day begun-
Lover awaken from slumber-
Away with dreams of past-
Sleeping done as new day begun-
Bright day chase all fears away-
Away with dreams of past-
Sun smiles with lilac blooms-
Bright day chase all fears away-
Tears of midnight disappear-
Sun smiles with lilac blooms-
Early dawn saw sunrise mauve-
Tears of midnight disappear-
Morning glories my climbing vines-
