Something's Jumping In The Pumpkin Patch

Sneaking through the graveyard
in the dead of night
to a hidden garden
in full moonlight
you want to be careful better beware
the fiery eyes
of the scarecrow's stare
if the spell is broken
you open Pandora's Box
and it's lights out
for the jack-o-lanterns
they're in for a nasty shock
you have to be careful better beware
the Halloween screams
of your worst nightmare
'cause something's jumping in

Sky Lanterns

Hope, wish, and pray
we all live and let live
like the lanterns in the sky
each one spreading light
not disturbing
or
trying to destroy the other one
no unhealthy competition
no ego problems
no wish to dominate
discriminate
manipulate 
others
just
keeping our individuality intact

Ethereal Lanterns

A season of reflection,
We set ourselves apart,
We lay our hearts on the altar of meditation,
We alight from dawn’s cart.

We hold the lamp into the night,
We search the hidden places of our chamber,
We sojourn into the light,
Awakened from our souls’ slumber.

A season of rebirth,
There’s an overhauling from the inside,
We draw out from the wells of mirth,
It’s

“Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom” Rumi

Once I roamed in forgotten fields of poppies,
without a metaphor or adjective to
portray sombre sorrows for tomorrow.

In the dilemma of a firework fate,
where happiness is

As the holy season commemorates revelations of scriptures,
Sacred flame burning within, reinvigorates soul’s intellect,
Steering away from the fallible, toward realms of perfect,
Away from servitude of wealth, to caring for less-fortunate;

Empowering wisdom, vying sapience of enlightenment,
Inspiring collaboration in sanctity of spiritual exchange,
Rejecting overtures nescient, engaged in narrowness, 
That confine humanity in fallacies unwitting, misguided.

In domains of

Ethereal Lanterns

On the blessed days, light travels through the senses
A flotilla of flames floats on the river of each vein
Touching the soul with its infinite union
Shining with opulence through generations

Verse by poet 

The heavens surveyed the scenes in all its splendour
As lights aura draped in her crotched shawls
Blew life into each fledging spark
‘Til each lantern became

Premium Memberin quiet introspection - Ethereal Lanterns


at this blessed time of the year
I am in quiet introspection
seeking the ethereal ~ I meditate
wanting to set sail to divine balance
as a lantern gliding over the sea
delicate, airy and light
I am filmy and gossamer
my aura misty mauve

life is a delicate fragile seed
full of promise, hope and love
and my life is unfurling
for my floating ethereal

Premium MemberLANTERNS OF FAITH, HOPE, GRACE AND LOVE

Faith drives toward triumphant crest
Championing trust against doubt’s pest
To conquer failures during test
Healing pain’s grief with prayer-zest
For souls to be joyously blest.

Hope brings comfort with vibrant glow
Smiting fear of attacking woe
Midst peace to face tomorrow
Gladly welcoming blessings’ flow
Sharing against selfishness-blow.

Grace* pours down heavenly treasure
Enriching with divine pleasure
To bask in spiritual leisure
Yon wealth of celestial measure
And
