A mother's figure from my dreams,
shining bright through the sun beams.
You come like an angel so very sweet,
as many butterflies come to greet.
A world is now filled with love,
together can we both fly like a dove?
Sunday morning the church is alive,
Pews are wiped clean,
Windows are shining bright of stained glass of Our Saviors life.
Candles are lit as to welcome GODS children, sinners amongst us yet He loves us no different.
The young old, babies grandmas, brothers sisters all are lined up as to greet a Christian funny humbled young man with a smile and a firm handshake.
To welcome my children into HIS church, say hello, good morning welcome, simple wide yet to bring a smile to HIS flock, puts a smile in their face, entering into GODS HOLY place of worship to pray. Jerry will surely bring you into a sacred time of sacrificing your prayers up to the Lord.
The Lord’s Prayer we speak together as one, as our Heavenly Father taught his apostles years ago, if for one moment holding hands as he community in thus small town.
We kneel to give homage to HIS body & Blood, we are partaking in HIS HOLY sacrifice for us simple small town folks who yearn for unconditional love, “AMEN” .
Mass has ended go in peace”. May He lead us in this week ahead, to share his gospel with those we love..
The first raindrops dampen the dry earth when,
It’s not as if what smiles is just parched soil,
Rains arouse mind, a strange power moves my pen,
Thoughts wake up to rise from a quiescent coil.
Monsoon I think does not just flood rivers,
My mind as well with dormant memories,
Vague verses rushing down from strangest spheres,
Dreamily I muse monsoon melodies.
Thou art to me not mere rainy season,
Skies wearing grey robes when touch hidden world,
Seeking some strange depths its avowed reason
To be, and songs not ere heard get unfurled.
Yet, in white robes, as rains make slow retreat,
Should ye my songs a goodbye to me greet?

Sonnet |30.09.2025| goodbye, monsoon, rains,
Summer not gone, starting showers.
Summer outgoing : Next to greet Fall :
Rainy environ embowers.
Summer not gone, starting showers.
Moistened now, fields, plants and flowers.
Dull cloudy weather over all.
Summer not gone, starting showers.
Summer outgoing : Next to greet Fall.
Greet me--Spring sprite,
fresh, docile smile,
whose whispers woo
with hymns of lover's tune.
Enamor me with fizzy phrases;
As doting night enthralls,
with stars,
the bashful moon.
Cove me within
thy bossom's veil
of plusing neverending
blazing charm.
Congenial hover, as clouds do
to pacify and gently soothe
the brassy, heated,
brazen flaming sun.
Dreach my dreams
with valiant gales
of furor baron's
kisses gained.
Like Nature's gift of life,
revive the plains' drought
with cloudburst of
Heaven's inundating rain.
As one more year is fading out and time swiftly flies like a speeding bird, I wish all my friends a New Year of Health, Happiness and all blessings of God!
As the midnight bells sweetly chime,
Our hearts leap and sing in joyous rhyme.
The Year 2025, like a sweet babe is born,
Exhorting each one of us to be reborn.
Sad and sweet memories of the past linger
Many have lost their dear lives, last year
Thoughts of them make our eyes moist with tear
Thank God for granting us yet another year!
Break loose n’ cast aside all binding ropes
Embrace the new dawn with fresh hopes
Look to the East and see the glow of light
Let sun’s golden beams swipe away the night.
Today’s dawn fills us all with gladness
Scrubbing away every trace of sadness
Let new resolutions dance in hopeful eyes,
Like fireworks that ignite the darkened skies.
May fanciful dreams sprout and swell in every heart
Spread wings wide and into sky like an eagle dart.
May the New Year fill you with lots of cheer
And grant you with everything, you hold dear!
As I look out the window,
The sun rises.
Looking at the sight of snow,
Makes me glow.
Light shining through the clouds,
It stands up proud,
Through the winter haze.
But will it last long?
We wouldn’t know.
But until next summer,
I can’t wait to have my best winter.
In a small story of my living,
All my years been filled up with you.
The beauty that resides,
The snow, the fog, the cold.
Nearing the rest,
The rest of breeze,
The rest of freeze.
Until the next awaken;
I Will always be waiting,
For winter’s next appearing.
She is the comfort
On a windy winter’s day
His frozen heart thaws
With apricity’s embrace
To greet the warmth with her kiss
I wish people would understand…
before it is too late…
How a face full of anger, prejudice and fear…
only open doorways into hate…
And if hate is something we are hoping
to rid this planet of….
How we should greet each other with a smile…
which opens a doorway into love..
Queen of tulips strode in to look over her fields one day
the verdent green background was prominently on display
an army of yellow tulips was nodding happily her way
orange tall flowers graciously greeted her, our Queen named McKay.
Cloudy McGlirk moved into the house at the end of the block.
I ran over to meet him, to greet him, to see if he is on Tic Tock.
Some later said I was way too forward, which I sometimes am.
He tipped his mangy red baseball cap to me, and called me Ma’am.
I stared at him, not understanding because he is wrinkled and old.
Ancient actually, but he was treating me as if I was collectors gold.
A rare relic just pulled out of a sixteen hundred pirate’s treasure chest.
I tiptoed away before I answered, because I think this was the best.
to greet sun’s rise
to climb akin to light
takes strength
my soul
each day
she doubts.
Wish all my friends on Poetry Soup a joyful, peace filled and prosperous New Year!
As the glow of 2022 has died out
When a new dawn’s halo is round the arc
Best wishes and prayers from all hearts sprout
‘Let a new world of light emerge from the dark’
Let us wait to see new hopes blooming
Grab the little joys the mind can contain
Dismiss all defeatist thoughts surfacing
Warmly greet the New Year about to begin
The stream of life glides gurgling
Listen to its dulcet rhythmic refrain
Put down smothering blues brewing
Cast away all sad and throttling pain
Inhale the salubrious air and begin again
Hope for happier times, day after day
With enormous appetite, life’s zest, regain
Newer vistas will open up and come to stay

over the sky
sun opens
his third eye
red tint spreads
clouds float high-
fluffy white.
birds fly high,
feast to the eye.
one can feel the calm sibilance,
of a blue tranquil lake,
making the mind at peace.
the world stirs back to life-
time to wake up from ease.
wind flies on filmy wings,
the brown leaves, they release.
greet the day dawning in silence!

"Gazing at the rising sun and telling yourself- 'the new day has newer promises for me' fills you with gallons of fuel to run the whole day"- By poet
See life blooming in full and keep smiling
Grab the little joys the mind can contain
Dismiss all defeatist thoughts surfacing
Wait for the fresh dawn about to begin
Inhale the clean air and begin again
Hope for a better and happier day
With greater appetite, life's zest regain
New vistas will open and come to stay
Downhill, the crystal clear stream glides gurgling
Listen to its dulcet rhythmic refrain
Put aside all smothering blues brewing
Just cast away all sad and throttling pain
Admire the purity of white flowers
Those that open in the dead of the night
Love nature with the fervour of lovers
Feel glory in each sound and every sight
