Weather Forecast

Said the TV’s weatherman,
a bright bloke on grey suit,
and with weeping eyeglasses,
“There’s probability of precipitation.
It’s going to rain from coast to coast.
Umbrellas, raincoats and rain boots
Are cheaper on Ebay.
Order from Amazon . . . galoshes and
calabashes...
It shall rain from Jerusalem to Jericho.
And no one shall be spared from the
sprinkles — be they Republicans
or Democrats.
Blonde or raven-haired.

So plan your wedding when a spell of
sunshine borrowed from Africa
falls on one and all, like the bright light
on the road to Tarsus.

Pray against a jealous tornado
which plans to disrupt graduation ceremonies
across wayward universities.

If you cannot pray, tweet.
Heaven also hearkens to tweets.
If you doubt it,
ask the birds
whom the Lord feeds".

	         Ere the morning dew rises through 
                    stems of sleepy flowers
                 Peter Sellers mounts his comely steed
                     heads for the red and white tower

                 Relief for the night watch he provides
                      all these years, where no one’s died
                 or even been injured in the slightest  

                  Tonight though Peter has a premonition
                        Clouds are circling, winds howling 
                        Birds twitter in mass confusion
                        The sky crackles ~ truth or illusion

                   He hearkens back to Ancient Rome
                         when Ides of March
                         upended the great Caesar
                             Would those of August today eliminate him?

                    Sellers sallied forth, insecurely secured in the saddle
                          when his steed suddenly bolted
                          far into the woods where he could be free
                          from the tyranny of waiting for a ship to drown
                                                  since 1963

With His help of serene pleasure
That relieves us from stress within His care’s treasure
Where His healing insures our recovery beyond measure.

NOW FAR AWAY YOU ARE

T'was eighty two wonderful years,
Before you departed to leave me in tears, 
My loneliness hearkens to the fears left by the hearse,
Even the harmattan couldn't dry my streams of tears,
Because I know now you are no more near.

You left through the corridors of November,
Twenty eight is a number I will forever remember,
It can't even be withered by any winter,
As long as the sun shines and the stars twinkle,
I will remember you even after my cheeks wrinkle.

I came out first under your big umbrella,
You rhymed my name and I became a Cinderella,
You left me on a path illuminated in high candela,
You decorated my life with beautiful chandeliers,
You poured wisdom full into my many tumblers.
Before God made all the angels your trumpeters.

Now with God your soul now forever stays,
Your demise messaged more things than you could say,
To your honour I shall live my days,
May God almighty continue to guide my ways,
Rest on dad, till we shall meet at the heavenly quays.

IMPACT

Perhaps the weather is wistful or bonnie bonnie good,
who can say, but i think on the grayest of gray days,
eyes stay closed, sunshine is but a bitter dream,
unless you’re the rare goody-goody Pollyanna-type,
before the huge branch plummeted her to certain sorrow.

A little girl with saintly hair hearkens to a friend’s dare.
Her toes tremble as she feels the safety of a robin’s branch.
Alas, this little one never learned to fly,
but fly she must and hit solid ground.

Why must sorrow’s impact finally save a soul?
Why couldn’t love come much quicker?

Aunt Polly’s neighborhood had already hugged the saintly face
and only they could bring her back to life
for each one held a piece of her.

And Aunt Polly, poor bitter Polly, must be a late bloomer.
But after all, the Good Shepherd does leave the ninety-nine,
to find such a one.

~  ~  ~ What do you think? If a man owns 100 sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the 99 on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep then about the 99 that did not wander off. In the same way your father in heaven is not willing that any of these little one should be lost.

Matthew 18: 12-14 (NIV Bible) ~ ~ ~
