Premium Member Retrospective Phrasis Part11 Recited

COMMONPLACE PHRASIS XI
A birthing moment from the fog
that surround,blissful,momentary
experiences from a higher radiance,
caught,captured and considered.
This power to inspire never ceases,
breathes in the minutiae of life,where
we may be trapped.All or nothing or not
at all.This perceptive observation,the 
now immediacy of wordless lines can
recapture the moments of love or
suffering and imprint our page to become
an epitaph,a footnote in history
as we allow faith to inform our work.

TRUE GRIT
He like a drink
did granpa  Shreeve
Sergeant stripes stayed on
his sleeve- Victorian born with
buckled belt ,boots,trousers braced;
strong silent,with twirled of moustache;
rigid of back,upright no ceremony allowed-
a legacy faded sepia grey in memory
	GRANPA
He loves action,with few words
by example,his guidance heard,
a barnabas,he unfolds
encouragment,to be bold;
Strong-minded,solid some say,
stability,day-by-day,
reliability,his creed
to satisfy,family need;
Each day stepping outside the box
what you see,is what you get,
once encountered,none forget,
a boy,beneath it all
aged now,but standing tall.

A MOTHER’S LOVE
She lives her love day by day
with all that is so feminine,
a touch, kiss or knowing look,
concern, red-lettered in her book;
Particular to detail self-sacrifice 
a routine,as she walks the extra mile,
ever ready with a smile;The days 
news eager to hear,her wise counsel,
stills a fear as open arms her love brings
near,a warmth to dry a child's tear
ready to give herself,time and again
so soft and beautiful and feminine

LANTERNE PHRASIS 4
Art without a title,an ego
in relief of studied arrogance
in a broken mosaic ,awash
in blue&orange partitions,
dripping wet into wet,A
vision coveying joy,the sacred
blending with the secular,a
swirling forest of dreams of
shadowed illusions.This insight
through the looking glas,of a 
hidden riddle where pain erupts
into an obsession,outlines encircle
the eyes.Face to face where despair
crushes love on the unknown path
ahead.There,night beckons & 
tomorrow is another day,and 
dreams fade out of focus.

Premium Member Retrospective Phrasis Part 1 Recited

COMMONPLACE PHRASIS  part 1
Doubt is our passion,passion our task,
erupts from inside made from whom
we are.Dark&passionate filled
with drama.this artistic volcano
from which poetic lava flows.All truth
&heartache,filled with stirrings of
imagination,a kaleidosdcope of
eloquent reason,deeply held.An
essence of aspiration yet multifaceted,
elusive,yet personal within this miracle,
caught by the tail,radical,imaginative 
wistful beauty of primitive days now
gone.A watershed,vivid&simple steps
out of love’s journey,attracts as a moth
to a flame,so easy on the ear yet
speaks from soul to soul.

FLIGHTS OF FANCY PHRASIS 1
The soft yellow streaked the terra cotta,
shadowing the speckled sallow saffron 
a bluish buff upon the cochineal;
brilliant boneblack grizzled the engrain
citrine carnation as the fallow flaxen,
rustic rubrical rainbow-tinted 
the magenta mandarine;unseen
the ultra-marine, tinged burnt sienna,
reflecting a golden flame of raw umbery 
upon the earth green;bright mosaic gold
mottled the sallow sorrel virent yellow,
oak stained the pale apricot;while
blood red,reddish russetdotted the olive lind;
freckled crimson,a chestnut maroon,
on fuchsias faded apple green as burnt
umber sank deep into its sanguine slumber.

PHRASIS STREAMS part 5
Inwardly afraid,perfunctory &peripheral
the how&what of our choosing,these
whispered sounds of tender lasting
moments,ever seeking a rationale.
Waiting&wondering to pursue that
inner voice or proven better way.
Such a blinkered view so innocently 
implored,innate but creative,these sounds
of words around a theme of venial
mistakes and oversights which knows
no bounds.Now to reason out & uncipher
or turnabout and startover.A chrysalis
changed & completely new,ready for the
fray,never to succumb.Uppermost in
the heart,a life of a different hue each
day a new surprise,soothing selfless&
sincere a challenge ,too sublime.
from my Streams of Consciousness 2003

Premium Member Christian Phrasis Part 5 Recited

CHRISTIAN PHRASIS 5-theological
To discern & receive God’s grace
in our lives,following His footsteps,
God made visible,the man Jesus
His complete expression.Unconditional
love to receive unconditionally.An 
antidote to anxiety,the agape of the
will that turns us away from sin and
back to Him.When we hear His voice
,push on that door,invite Him in .We enter
His kingdom,this spiritual realm,pardoned
but not pure,in the book of life, our
name upon His lips.And equipped for the 
battle against the principalities of darkness,
born anew by this Master of events.Then to
be changed in a moment when that trumpet
calls,to live eternally in a resurrected body
with Him ever with us by this living miracle 
and gift of grace to His redeemed.

IMAGE PHRASIS 1	
Over the stubble,carrion crows,mist
blankets the hedge with fading leaves
where berries rot below the bramble.
As darkness slowly descends a heavy
frost whitens the ground,the daises
hang limp and old and the cold kills.
Nature blinks and shrinks.the yellowed
grass sleeps the landscape cloaked in
a shroud.Spiders cluster in weathered
straw,yellow leaves putrefy,daylight
hours fly stark sensations,simple,
abstract shapes lie as unerased words
in a litter of secret hopes.

CHRISTIAN PHRASIS 3- evangelical
No mission,unless it’s God’s mission
no germination without nurture for
no harvest without preparation.
Nuture with tender loving care
crossing bridges,breaking ground
assumptions& preconceptions
dismantled and destroyed.Welcoming
& warm,not in our natural strength
but empowered by grace to stand
and be and be set free to befriend
and to acquaint,to witness and pray.
Proclaim the Good News,of  life now
and to come,placed as sons as one.

LANTERNE PHRASIS 3
Tedium ends with the setting sun,an
angled view that reaches into life.
Loud sighs,piercing eyes that erupt
from unconscious minds.A lyrical dream
abstract fantasy of multiple emotions
that leap out in varied shapes,
an angst of moody blues in a 
perversity of remembered views
that climb into the staircase of
the mind.A chaos with no focus
point,images shadowing the floor
as in a dream near and far and
beyond as random gestures 
inwards&upwards that launch
a thousand still lifes,with slow
soaking stains into evolving
moods that pass away with
time in gray graduations.
