AFTER THE FLOOD
Mount Ararat holds a testament
of stories told in ancient texts,
and stories shared down generations;
the aftermath of catastrophe.
Place names are the remembering
of gratitude as the Ark was drawn out of the water[1],
and the place of the descending[2]
into the village of the eight[3]~
survivers making pilgrimage[4] to the site of sacrifice[5].
Noah's Ark is resting there upon the mountain,
in archeological insistance,
and science is confirming the reality
of God's Judgment and His mercy.
The Drogue Stones[6] bear the witness to Noah's great adventure,
The Turks placing tourist signposts[7]
so we may walk the footsteps
of Noah and his progeny.
AFTER THE FLOOD
(tanka)
do doves remember
their ancient elder flying
over flood ravage
then returning to the ark
with a twig of new-found hope

[2] Mount Judi
[3] Kazan and today is called Goller.

~ Autumn Has Come ~
( Rick's 32 )
~O~
Autumn's come
Weather is cool
Trees change hues
Gold, browns, copper, greens, reds
Trees start losing their leaves
Leaves then fall
Sometimes they soar
In the wind
~o~
Autumn's fun
Great Holidays
Pumpkins, masks
Adults, kids, have great time
Halloween's a fun night
Treat or trick
Then celebrate
Thanksgiving
~o~
Yes, autumn's
At last is here
I'm happy
No more sweat, hot weather
Relax, eat piece of pie
Have good time
With family
And Thank God
~o~
For all friends
For everything
Autumn's come
Is a time of Thanksgiving
To look back and Give Grace
Summer's gone
But be glad that
Autumn's come.

~ Dreams And More ~
( Lucky Thirteen )
Dreams
And More
Just fly! Soar!
It's so nice to dream
That's the best way just to go
At times need to let dreams grow
It's so nice to dream
With God's help make dreams come true
So embrace them all ! Don't be blue!
It's so nice to dream
A great scheme
Don't cease!
Dream!

Great books
Awesome to read
Teach a lot many looks
My soul they feed

Fun, go places
Keep brain sharp, a good thing

Great seeds they sow
