And the place where my feet stand on is Holy grounds
And the ringing in my ears are the angel chorus, sing
And right now the joy in my soul comes full circle
As I rise up above my circumstances
I challenge man and devils, on every premises
Come to me Lord, Oh Holy one of Zion
Give unto me the amour and shield I rely on
As the third heavens roll by
As the second heavens searches the skies
As for the rainbow on the first tier
Nothing on this in, above, below shall I fear
As I rise up above my circumstances
I call on the Almighty creator
For He's is my Savior
Come to me Lord, Oh Holy one of Zion

Fluorescent sun pedestals of floral engaging stocks
Mediocre ballasts stars common folks
Blistering grounds heated winded air
Clumper some rocks asphalt cracks
Marshmallow puff clouds on blue tears
Beneath the first heavens
Accomplishing much saving
Spirits flow fly spiraling
A rose arising uplifting toward the skies
First to meet in the humble then the newborn
Birthday arise lift up their heads their eyes
Towards the heavenlys rising to the skies
Uplifting believers Mercy Grace seizures
Captivating captured forgiveness believer
Repented forgiven Mercy capture caught up now rapture

Look to the light
To bring true peace,
Set then your sights
To find clear ease.
When things look sad,
Be still and know
That love makes glad
In wit that shows.
Look deep within
For answers here,
A realm unseen
Beckons most clear.
When conflicts come
With grief and pain,
Know that sure psalm
That frees constraints.
Look to fine grace
To help you see,
Light fills your face
To set you free.
When chips are down
With anxious grounds,
Laugh like a clown
As madness sounds.
Look to your soul
To feel deep calm,
Love makes you whole
With ageless balm.
Peace lives within
Despite the times,
See the unseen
That frames all chimes.

Epigrams V
Are mayflies missed by mountains? Do stars
applaud the glowworm’s stellar mimicry?
—Michael R. Burch
Teach me to love:
to fly beyond sterile Mars
to percolating Venus.
—Michael R. Burch
Byron
was not a shy one,
as peacocks run.
—Michael R. Burch
When I visited Lord Byron's residence at Newstead Abbey, there were peacocks running around the grounds, which I thought appropriate.
Less Heroic Couplets: Unsmiley Simile, or, Down Time
by Michael R. Burch
Quora is down!
I frown:
how long can the universe suffice
without its ad-vice?
"Lu Zhai" ("Deer Park")
by Wang Wei (699-759)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Uninhabited hills ...
except that now and again the silence is broken
by something like the sound of distant voices
as the sun's sinking rays illuminate lichens ...
Swiftly the years mount
by T'ao Ch'ien
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Swiftly the years mount, exceeding remembrance.
Solemn the stillness of this spring morning.
I will clothe myself in my spring attire
then revisit the slopes of the Eastern Hill
where over a mountain stream a mist hovers,
hovers an instant, then scatters.
Scatters with a wind blowing in from the South
as it nuzzles the fields of new corn.
War, the God
by Michael R. Burch
War lifts His massive head and turns...
The world upon its axis spins.
... His head held low from weight of horns,
His hackles high. The sun He scorns
and seeks the rose not, but its thorns.
The sun must set, as night begins,
while, unrepentant of our sins,
we play His game, until He wins.
For War, our God, our bellicose Mars,
still rules our heavens, dominates our stars.
Shotgun Bedding
by Michael R. Burch
A pedestrian pediatrician
set out on a dangerous mission;
though his child bride, Lolita,
was a sweet senorita,
her pa’s shotgun cut off his emissions!

“Spring is when life's alive in everything.” Christina Rossetti
Springtime Splendour
SPRING TIME UNDER VISIBLE WAY
Radiantly making headway
To carpet the hills with deep green
And sprinkle beauty across land
A BEE COMES DANCING EAGERLY
From midst of its honeyed perfume
To a park with flowers in bloom
To seek nectar for its beehive
BIRDS COMING DOWN EARNESTLY FREE
Are welcome to their breeding grounds
With open arms and joyful heart
Until time for them to depart
GOLDEN HYACINTH, IRIS, JASMINE, KALMIA
And many more, comely flowers
Adorn the alleys and park side
Nature`s sensory springtime pride
(Dedication: For CK and Jane
on Your Wedding Day)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be happy now: fond lifetime style;
Let love endow bliss in fond smiles.
CK and Jane: lover and friend;
May you both gain joy in sweet trends.
May all your days be blessed with grace;
Glimpse rainbow rays in time and space.
Go on your way with faith and hope;
Now live each day as love sculpts scope.
Forge your bold plans in your life quest;
Be all you can with zeal and zest.
May faith shape dreams as blessings come;
Live precious streams in poignant sums.
May hope bring joy as you go forth;
In love's employ frame life's true north.
May love outlast as you find ease;
Know time moves fast as grace brings peace.
May faith show truth as marriage shines;
Waltz love's fond proof like precious wine.
As you go round be good and kind;
Love's sacred grounds spring with sound mind.
Be brave and strong and journey far;
In right or wrong dare glimpse bright stars.

Observe and see how pain can squeeze,
Urge hope to sum the way of joy;
Rouse faith and be as light as breeze.
Taste fond outcomes with lovely ploys,
Rise to the times when hate hurls fear;
Yield to each loss the strains of pain,
Inch by inch chime with poignant cheer;
Note wrongs that toss sad affairs plain,
Glimpses of peace bless and surround.
Thrill love's mantra with soul that knows,
Indulge heart ease upon these grounds;
Mind seeds quanta of healthy flow,
Embrace goodwill in trying times,
Sense love that heals despite harsh rhymes.

UPON THE WILLOW TREES
THE LIGHT BENDED TO SHINE
IT CAUSED THE NIGHT TO BE
ILLUMINATED BY WHATS SPEAKS OF KIND
IT SHIMMERED IN IT'S OBULANCE
AND SPOOKED AH-MANY MEN
THEY DRANK IN THE DIMMEST
BEFORE THE MORNING WOULD BEGAN
SOPHISTICATED THEY FOUND US
AS WE WERE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
THE PRECIOUS NEED FOR LOVE
WE HELD EACH OTHER TIGHT
THEY SAW NOT OUR SECRET THINGS
AS WE STOOD REAL CLOSE
DEVOTED IN OUR LOVE MAKING SCHEME
WE LOVED EACH OTHER MOST
CONGRUENT IN OUR BANDING
WE WERE HARMONY IN PERFECT TUNE
THE EVENINGS OF FALL
THE CRISP CHILLY WIND
WE'LL MARRY BENEATH A HARVEST MOON
Victory runs around in the speed of whirl wind
optimism deputizing great confidence
self belief joins achievement’s prestigious caucus
getting the score, even before scoring the goal
are preparations to this perennial battle
An aptitude test, much needed for the next step
growth must take place, with this one more push
headache plagues germination, after two tries
this time around, the aim and shot will kill the bird
squashing to subdue all disappointments campaigns.
Winning and gaining grounds but suddenly heart pierced
sadly losing by a fraction of a fraction
the lights go off, once again darkness reign supreme
efforts viciously judged and condemned by ‘almost’
as the next four years plead for another attempt

sponsored by rob carmack
Arrival of fall, rustling of leaves
Strangers walking down the alley
Far reaches from the city grounds
A girl, a charmer arrived in the fall
The planet on its tiptoes danced 16 times
To welcome new chapters in her life
In the trouvaille, I found a friend in a stranger
A friend I never knew I needed,
In my journey to love myself
The courage flowed like river from her words
Her aura that outshines moonlight
In longing of someone, she counts the stars
A hidden sadness behind the beaming smile
A hidden pain behind those eyes
In her happiness, the gunnen rises on me
Went through ups and down
She always fought the demons in her mind
A figure who loves “tea”, to be debutante in her prime
Have friends like poison ivy
But she knows how to live life
