It is surely wonderful…
To not be found
In the parlors or diners
At the water’s edge
Along the beach or river
Where there are blessings
Foaming from the shores
It is surely wonderful…
To find a passion
Thriving with warmth
Welcoming joys
Inspirations so alive
They dance across
The moonlit night of autumn
It is surely wonderful….
To succeed at a dream
That blazes hot inside
The soul who longs to
Arrive at the labyrinth
Of change and colors
So rich and vibrant they breathe
It is surely wonderful…
To awake to fresh laughter
Caressing the stars, the sun
In whispers of compassion
Like grace in a psalm
Prayers echo through the sky
On a faith that is so alive
It is surely wonderful…
To know God is inside
The heart and soul
Touching the naked mind
With pure peace and love
That echoes faith along
The shadows beneath a full sun
It is surely wonderful…
To believe the answers
Will always come
Revealed in a way that
Only truth can portray
With sincerity and praise
For the One who loves unconditionally
It is surely wonderful…
To break free of grief
And know the joy within
That pleads for serenity
Captures the promise of
Beauty that feels so free
It blesses even the worst sinner
It is surely wonderful…
To know the way to giving
A part of the heart and soul
Living within the spirit
Increases joy and hope
Raises the sweetest glow
To caress the summer with love
It is surely wonderful…
To paint the world in twinkling
Stars and milky moonbeams
That drift across the night
Sending stirrings of intimacy
Silent familiarity with the
Flavors of God’s brilliant, amazing thoughts
It is surely wonderful…
To know the One
Who created the sun
Gentled the heart
Shaped the stars
Twisted the laurel
Gave breath to us all
It is surely wonderful…
It is surely wonderful!
Say goodbye to uncertainty
Whenever you’re unsure
Rid yourself of all self doubt
And think of less as more
We build upon each moment
As time slowly ticks away
It all comes from within
making the most of this day
Our life a million yesterdays
So many memories
Visit them for what they teach
Let them put your mind at ease
Leave the scars of your past
Slowly walk away
Smile for all the good times
That have brought you to this day
Each day a precious lesson
With all the things we learn
Let the passion of our existence
Be the fire that we burn
May our thoughts be kindled
With inspirations all unbound
Where the treasure that lies within
Surely will be found
Let each moment guide you
Filling your life with love
Sharing the gifts you’re given
And the blessings from above
Embrace each morning sunrise
while greeting a brand new day
breathe deep and feel the wonder
of the things life brings our way
Form:
Whirr! Clank! Buzz! Clunk!
The gears of my brain seize up,
No longer meshing.
No inspirations, no images appear.
No lofty thoughts, ideas
Tumbling over each other waiting
To be brought to life.
No stream of poetic impulses flourishes,
No silver verbs or round nouns
Slipping into space and place.
Just rusty fits and starts
That produce only empty noise.
Where in my mind is the slipped cog,
That word, the missing tooth,
The slippery oil of sibilant syllables
To lubricate the machinery?
Perhaps here, by diligence
I can search and find the missing part.
I’ll sit and write and write and write
Whatever comes to mind.
Words, words, words, words
That might break free the rusty wheels
And release syllabic oil to restore
That free-wheeling flow
Of passion, wonderment, and awe.
That play of script
That once poured forth so strong
From easy mesh of imagination
With its sister, reality.
So gears, set to your work.
Turn together in perfect sync
To change my dusty prose to poetry.
Through the music of a child’s laughter
On the edge of a soft, silent whisper
Comes the grace that heals and fills
Hearts with sweetness, kindness, acceptance
Through the song that caresses the wind
When a robin flies over the gentle hills
Breathing hope into the precious inspirations
Of a joy that knows the comfort of imagination
Through the light that lingers on the clouds
Coloring the heavens in flowery signs of a smile
Murmuring merrily amid the grumble of rain showers
Flickering life into the heart of divine insight
Through the blaze of a fiery mystery, a secret
So intuitive and wise that it hangs optimism
Across the seas of understanding, adorning the moments
With beautiful dreams that haunt the soul with passion
Through the blushes of captivation and fulfillment
Linger beauties so alive they embrace the naked emotions
With a sense of enrichment that caresses the desires
Of a nature who reaches beyond the moment into eternity
Through the echoes reaching across the ridges of sapphire
Lightening the affections with simplicity and feathery visions
Lovely caresses of prayers and praises sending out illumination
Of joy, gentleness, feelings so rich and vibrant they’re healing
Through the promise of a God who lives in the heavens
Answering hearts and souls with inspirational messages
Caressing spirits with love so awash in ecstasy it fascinates
The life who listens to the still, small voice who breathes into
The spirit… assurance that His love is always with us
A certainty, assurance, reality… a penetrating tear
Dripping across the senses with fulfillment and softness
Benevolence and wisdom, freeing the soul to listen
To His pure, sweet spirit – calling through the sensations
Of a love that lingers on the embrace of God’s gift
God’s love is always with us – guiding us, filling us
Sweetening our lives and feelings – with goodness
Hope, faith and peace that meets all our needs
Brushes our thoughts with inspiration and colors our
World in hues of vibrant, flamboyant joy from knowing
GOD is alive – and He is living through my life!
Dancing through the trees
In blazing sunshine praise
Beams the light of a new dawn
Awakening hearts to remind
This is a second chance to become
The person you’ve always dreamed
You could be!
Blushing rays in tones of rose
Paint the soul in miracles who know
This is your opportunity to give
The world a part of your hope and
Faith, the part of you that is filled
With thanks for all the love you’ve
Known and all the love you’ve shown
Love that is alive in your soul!
Breathless thoughts whisper
Caressing your soul with feelings
Gentle and alive, like a teardrop
Chasing hopes on a path to the heart
Where there is goodness dreaming
Inspirations filling the mind
Clinging to the vine of enlightenment
Assuring the world that you own
The hope that lingers through you
To awaken other hearts to the knowing
That love is alive and pouring from
Hearts who know Him, the rising Son
The light of God!
Down the lane Wisteria danced sweet Violet.
Happily, she sashayed, then made a pirouette.
Since it was a special day, she was filled with glee,
knowing at a party soon all her friends she’d see.
Clustered blooms of blue and white twined around a gate
where the hostess, Lavender, had begun her wait.
Greeted warmly, Violet entered, and the first
thing she saw to dazzle her was a color burst. . .
Roses red as they can be, Bluebells bluest blue,
Lilies white and posies pink, of the brightest hue!
But her best friends were the ones gathered there to dine
that sipped on nectar of the grape-their hue the most divine!
Lovely Amethyst was there. So was Mauve, her chum.
Then Magenta soon waltzed in with their close friend Plum.
Languid Lavender, light-skinned, and Pastel, a gal
also fair, sat chatting with Lilac, their best pal.
Kin of lavender had come, more than just a few. . .
Old Lavender, dressed in lace, covered her grey hue.
Close relatives like Rose and even Pink were there
Bright and Brilliant Lavender showed up as a pair!
Violet, arriving late, mingled with each guest,
looking for the ones with whom she’d relate to best.
So it was she dined with two though not quite her hue:
Indigo, a tad more blue; Periwinkle too!

The Choctaw
never taught me what the
Choctaw would’ve taught me.
The Australopithecine never taught me what
the Australopithecine would’ve taught me of.
The Memories, these Memories,
our Memories are fading songs in
an echoeless cave.
The listeners have tired,
moved on.
The choir sang, regardless...
...for a time.
And, in time, the silence overcame
the joys of recalling and the calling out
was no longer met with the
Response.
The ochre greened-over,
the iron dust fell from frost and
puddled dryly on the floor.
Summer winds, hot and desiccating,
soon scoured the walls and ushered out
the swirling cinnamon sand.
The drums beat to mineral-rich cave-dew,
on occasion. A sometime rain that formed cones.
They stretched with weatherings; sometimes taut,
sometimes loose. Their stories lost, nothing taught.
In time, their skins followed their long-lost bones into
the buried burned and carved, now-broken empty bones
Home. The silent tumulting earth. The cold overlay of the
Singeing Beneath. The singing stalled. The echoes bounced for a time from
voice to ear to wall to child to child to wall to stone to dust.
The stars never taught me what
the stars might then have taught me.
The dreams and dancings, the tremulous and then-credulous
tremolos, the inspirations of ululations, the song-stories of
peoples, of healings, of wilds, of ways...now silent.
This silence, in this echoless cave,
is the most wanting, most missing,
Sound.
Sound I’ve ever heard.
The cave never taught me.
The music never taught me.
The drum never taught me.
The dance never taught me.
The cave never taught me.
The fire is out, the embers lost.
The handprint remains on a wet wall in a dim corner in an out-of-the-way
scree-field crevasse just past the Cree field impasse.
The teachers are gone.
The ancestors quiet.
The cave never taught me.
The silence may
yet.
In an inkling
Sunlight flickers out
Hidden behind dark clouds
Dimming even my reflections
In an inkling
Raindrops caress my skin
Refreshing, reviving
Even my thoughts are adventures
In an inkling
Leaves in hues of green
Dance, twirling in the wind
Enlightening my wildest dreams
In an inkling
Rivers flow across smooth stones
So alive, yet so alone
Winding their way toward the sea
In an inkling
Seasons change the air
Gracing hearts with prayers
Peppering life with serenity so rare
In an inkling
Rainbows breathe hope
Painting souls in shades of glory
Gentling even the blistering sun
In an inkling
Morning rouses the spirit
Reveries capture kind feelings
Inspirations fall over nature’s miracles
In an inkling
God opens the door for joy
Blessing us all with pure faith
Poured out on those who know grace
In an inkling
Love beckons the heart
Inspiring affections and thoughts
Of generosity, understanding and praise
In an inkling
My idyll thoughts flicker
With images far in the distance
Of a heaven where I can grow sweeter

Isaiah 43:2
King James Version
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Struggling through the darkness
Trying to find my way
I fought with pain and sorrow
Felt fear dissuade my steps
Walking on the path toward joy
I was assaulted by despair
Feelings of worry and anxiety
Poured over my inspirations
So that I couldn’t even find
The way toward my heart’s destination
Reaching toward my future
With hopes of a better way
I longed for peace and harmony
A reason to share my blessings
Wisdom to praise with my soul
Assurance that I would become
Overwhelmed by the pleasure
He brought to life inside my heart
Fighting my way across the deserts
Of dry, uninhabited lands – where
My heart felt lost in the distress
And my soul’s hope was absent, adrift
In the maze of apprehension and fuss
Found on the seas of disappointment
The waves of discouragement, dishonor
Alive on the lives of those who know
The shadows of dread that haunt the dreams
Of those who don’t listen to the yearnings
From A God who only wants your light
To shine through the sadness and dread
Bring second chances to those who need
To see God in the blessings they know
The ones that help them to learn and grow
Into the lights, shining through the night,
Stirring the spirits who need His glow
To color their hearts in hues of hope!
Wrestling with the sorrows and pains
Unsure just what I might need to regain
My strength, my hope and my dreams
I sometimes don’t realize the answer
Is living inside – I just need to ask Him
Pray with my heart, even in my thoughts,
Knowing His grace is always sufficient
And His light will pierce the blackness
That has troubled my soul and left me
Without a hope – just a single P R A Y E R
Can you imagine… within the silence, a dazzling dream of nirvana? ~ Quote by the poet
Can you imagine…
If every soul on earth
Were willing to let go
Of all their pain and hurt
To give up on the blame
All their bitterness and grief
Everything that made them feel
Like they couldn’t find any relief?
Can you imagine…
If every heart that lives
Took a moment to listen
To the hopes and dreams
The feelings of those they meet
Both the good and bad, happy and sad
Everything that made them feel
Worthy or unworthy, hopeful or hopeless?
Can you imagine…
If everyone in the whole world
Would listen to the voice of conscious
Give into those feelings of allegiance
Toward goodness, kindness and belief
In the heart who isn’t afraid to whisper
Humility, compassion and gentleness
With a sense of truth and giving?
Can you imagine…
If every man and woman in life
Were filled with thoughtfulness
Toward those they come to know
The ones who chance into their time
Where prayers for warmth are breathed
Soothing wounds with sincerity and faith
In the One who gives us all a chance?
Can you imagine…
If everybody would simply believe
With all their heart and soul, trusting
That there will be the opportunity
To give back a part of the sweet joy
That comes from living humbly
Giving all the love that can be known
To those who know God’s presence?
A present that lifts hearts and souls
Brings hope to the weary
Smiles to the hopeless
Inspirations and imaginations
That tell us all we have what it takes
To give back to this world
Parts of ourselves, the love that lives
To console and comfort, to accept
The truth that God is always there
Available at the thought of a prayer
Bringing peace, joy and love
That will awaken the angels above
To feel the thrill of this promise
To reach out with compassion
And give back without conditions
A love that only exists because
You imagined it could restore our planet!
Can you imagine… love this fulfilling!?!
