What becomes of a world?
The trees ache with a pain only those who have witnessed true horror
The swinging rope moping for it had been turned to a killer
The threads unravelling trying to escape
A maze with no end
Running, running, running Away
Yet still can't escape its fate
A fallen leaf a tear of the tree
Weeping for a

The Unseen Bloom
Not every blossom greets the sun,
Nor every triumph shouts it's won.
Some flowers bloom in silent grace,
Unseen by crowds, yet touched by faith.
They grow in corners most forget,
Where pain and prayer and love have met.
And though no stage may hold their name,
They burn with soft, eternal flame.
So let them bloom, those quiet souls,
Unpraised by fame, yet

The mother of

Whispers of Despair
Spiraling down the old forsaken road,
Oh, the dirt—the burdensome load!
Can I not drift, afloat on a boat?
This despair, a weight I never sought.
Mind awake with dreams unfulfilled,
Hope decays with each passing beat.
Noises loud, yet silence lingers—
Does this path lead to eternal defeat?
Life walks hand in hand with the night,
Does spring not spread its golden light?
The

The Olive Trees
Noah finds a land
Having olive trees grow
Which enables the little dove
To bring back hopeful news
I do need that hope
To pump my blood flow
Like the push of surging waves
Send the boat back to the coast
Noah finds the land
Having olive trees grow
Which achieved the little dove
Of its explorer role
I do need

God Walks Warmly Alongside Death
I walked through the valley of Death,
Where so many had walked before.
On every tomb there lay a flower,
That had taken their last breath—
For it’s darkness that holds the power,
And it’s darkness you can’t ignore.
I saw demons chanting songs of woe,
I saw babes wailing, lost; alone.
Black chapels crumble, halls decayed,

Eternal Paradise
Bears and Calves will eat together
Children will play with snakes that slither
We'll be tired of work, but we'll satisfied
We experience peace outside and inside
Coffee and tea, together with friends
Happiness that will surely never ends
All of the loved ones, dead and forgotten
Like old stories, they will all be re-written
We'll be young as

The Holy Grail
The light in the darkness; my bright beacon of hope.
My safe refuge and shelter, where I can cope.
Oh Father, Most High, I offer You praise!
I give you my heart, all of my days.
And You say, “ Abide in Me.”
So I abide in Thee.
Father
Creator
Master
Friend
I love Thee!
Love, Me…
Amen.

How nice
Should doldrums turn to breeze, how nice,
Desire, to ‘was’ from ‘is’, how nice.
What ere was flash has flared to fire,
If doubts fade soon to cease, how nice.
If every crease of mind clears up,
Peaceful waves to release, how nice.
In heart are hidden hell’s intrigues,
Should they bare, hers and his, how nice.
It’s hard to forgo world for

How to Survive A Cold And Weary World - an Easter Story by the Arctic Lily
The arctic poppy
stretched into existence
rooted on a rock
surrounded by ice
it unfurled
its lemon cream petals
in an open embrace
with the sun
the small meek flower
filled with warmth
and smiled
A scorpionfly
buzzed by
and declared,
“How tedious it must be
to spend one’s day
staring at a ball of light.
Instead
tantalize your eyes
with the earthly
fun, glory, and excitement
around you!
Animals

Epic Poetry
I cross the Ether, Riding Dragons towards Possibilities
Drifting the Expanse of Infinity,
Crushing Thresholds with the Cosmic Mind
DESTINED! All in due time,
Tugging Chords Of The Great Pendulum
I AM SOLAR REXUS SOLAR DIVINUM,
Chasing Stars to catch The Light
to be at ONE the Fire and I,
Bringing back the Magic
