Long Hastening Poems

Despite his impatience to show me his hell,
He waited for me in my rest, 
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,
Thanking God above and asking Him for guidance

“My heart is Yours, always,
From the moment...

It was late in the balmy springtime, and I was attending a lecture,
On a topic of great interest, which was the history of architecture.

As a great lover of beauty, I admired structural geometric designs,
Like the...

Pleasant spring like day February 9th, 2024

A scent (and sixth sense predominates),
when apple boughs
and other aromatic flora
laden with blossoms and fruit
gently assail cilia of the nostrils,
aside from aiding distinguishing 
pleasant or unpleasant smells 
additionally incorporate...

“The Autumn is old; The sere leaves are flying; He hath gathered up gold, And now he is dying…Old age, begin sighing.”- Thomas Hood

Soothing whispers in laughing hearts,
Music, trembling...

Tears, softly falling,
Grieving for the dreams,
Beyond knowing,
Dreams, silent, growing,
Within the spirit,
Where Jesus love is flowing,
In frequent gestures,
Wise and everlasting,
Stirring the light that lives,
Because His love restores,
His grace, in a moment,
Brings more joy than a heart,
Can...

As winter fades into spring,
Hearts impressed by the gentle swaying,
Dancing dreams, hasten to explain away,
Gentling shadows of yesterday,
Praying hands, folded and appealing,
To the love of One whose light is piercing
Through the darkness, through the doubting
Of...

I walk along the old familiar path in the wood of my childhood -
the place that I willingly abandoned  
for the lure of new friends and activities 
that carried me ever farther from my...

An aching sun falls, hesitant
Against the hills who tremble with autumn
Leaves, both gentle and fanatical,
Dancing to the melodies of truth, erasing
All of summer’s golden muse…

Twirling through the moments, peaceful
Ever changing, exchanging fresh green
For the hopefulness...

“In the journal, I am at ease.” — Anaïs Nin

Embracing the night and kissing the dew on dawn,
Resembling a silent promise for gentle that is...

Heavy as sin, 
Trusting nothing, no one,
Never more than a distant fog,
Secreting the promises,
Fading into the yesterdays,
Stirring stars, shimmering 
Resting on the night, breathless
As daybreak and just as busy,
Trembling with feelings,
Intimate and gracious, like a...

The stars would glisten, just a bit
More… like the whispers
Falling from hearts who know joy

The trees would blow, breathless
In the winds, through moments
Laughing hues of gentle kindness
Displayed on hopes and dreams,
Aliveness felt like never before…
Promises...

Venice, Italy, is a crazy shamozzle of new and old 
Where junk, graffiti, decay, stunning beauty, 
     history and culture poverty and opulence, all reside side by side, bobbing.

Listen to the wind, sighing gently –
Intimate as the moan from an oak,
Crackling, groaning, yet breathing light
From the soul of summer…
As it fades beneath autumn’s breath,
Blowing wonders into the moments,
Quiet dreams and soothing thoughts,
Healing the...

Incomprehensible space/time continuum intrigues...

One insignificant, infinitesimal
incomprehensibleness cosmic speck,
who doth readily confess
swallowed within

infinite cosmic wormhole, nonetheless,
he feels mind boggled, fascinated,
transfixed... helpless to express
following concept suddenly
gripping his feeble mental compass.

I haint never gonna get
smart enough to understand

Wishes hang, like icicles
Clinging to the steely gray
Branches where silence breathes
Promises, echoing through
The winds, hastening hope and 
Anticipation, resting on the 
Colors of joy, peace and grace
Blended together with faith

Crisp words form to create
Images and...

As the receding 
nestles of dying
love 
in full bloom,
now 
sadly blown away.

The seasons of 
the massacreing 
tides of Autumn,
the soothing winds
of change,
now gently at bay.

As love's decree
of passion 
resides at chamber,
felt within the door.

To conjure...

Bending beneath the shadows,
In soft silhouettes,
Rhythms whispering grace,
Falling like heavy rains,
Gentle yet incessant,
Prayers prayed by the pines,
Music breaking through branches,
Silencing the tender leaves,
Erasing the darkness,
With stirrings of light, soft
Knowing the whimsical nature
Bold and trembling with...
