Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Like the wind, whose story God wrote
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Joy stirs the music, the songs who know
He restores souls with His gentle note
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Softly caressing winds, swirl and blow
Listening to the poetry hearts can quote
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Rustle of leaves, swooshing to and fro
Grace that God’s word shall promote
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Winter drifts in with blessings of snow
Reflections arising from God’s lifeboat
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Gentle kiss of peace, to the Savior I owe
To Him, my life and love I’ll ever devote
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Restless dreams whisper their glow
it is nightfall when dipped sunset
gives way to the brilliance of moonglow
against heaven’s trail —
an eve's framework lightly studded
in pearled dew...
birdsong humming a tender chorale
as orchids unfold
into warm movements of restful gasps…
until fingers wrap into prayers
and bodies surrender
through the nocturnal kiss of peace.

Another trip around the sun:
another turn of winter's night.
Another chance to see undone
these honest vows in conscience made.
Intentions pure, resolve forthright
but then in time, they all shall fade.
For some a boon, for some a bane
for others yet, a mere caprice:
another chance to drink champagne.
The young shall laugh, the old shall cry,
we all shall share a kiss of peace:
and hail another year gone by.
Another trip around the sun:
for some a boon, for some a bane.
A PLACE IN THE SUN
Through each disconcerting walk of life
Till all my explorations cease
All the vulnerability I’ve got culminate
I have lost the kiss of peace.
In a place next to the sun I gladly soar
Hoping to be near God, ending my inner war.
I loathed my ostentatious life
Yearning, in spite of all my fears
Land me safe in a place next to the sun
Where I can purify my eyes with fresh tears.
With every word said and every cruel thought
I atone to those who my cruel deeds had bought.
My heart has been completely crumpled
In vain my love with exertion broke free
Unvarnished truth should be my salvation
Seeking the lost emotions, to comfort Id.
In a place next to the sun I dream of going
Where all past transgressions shall be foregoing.
Pax-
a
symbol
of the cross
in a kiss of peace.
