High alpine meadows are dusted with wildflowers,
And the faraway horizon is outlined with craggy mountain peaks,
Half-asleep lights blink through the sun-painted mist,
The sunrays dip at varying angles and intensities,
creating mixed moods and mysteries ~
It feels good to be up at dawn.

Seems a thousand hidden bird voices are singing,
A morning symphony created just for this sweet special moment,
I walk a narrow path that takes me to woods,
The air is softly scented with nature's delicate perfume,
And everything is so lush and green ~
As if touched with magical dust.

The sky has become a divine clear azure blue,
The sun is bathing everything in her golden glow including me,
Soon, I am back in the wildflower meadow,
With all the wildflower colors swaying sweetly in the wind
The mountains high above inspiring ~
I could stay right here forever.

Second Place


Cry Me a River

Examining the measure of my calamity
I grow resentful and I inflict pain
Seeking to surrender all that possesses me
I lash out at the innocent which discloses my shame
I reach out
The intensities of my suffering I shelve out
Because my quantity is so immense

I become incoherent 
Chaos is my universal place
My ferociousness becomes timid
Eternity my expected release date

Society has snatched me by the choker
My community flames an uproar
Makes me want to cry…. Makes me want to holler
What are we fighting for!?

Each morning I rise to the same ole tune
The classic sound 
Of the lowdown blues

I have not delivered my hopes or my dreams
My objectives along with my ambitions have went from flares to flickers
To face another tomorrow makes me quiver
I am distressed about authenticating my history

Cry me a river!

Portrait

Through shades of life in subtle hues
Faded eyes invite imbedded memories,
Half hidden behind a worn visage
Where dreams still dance to celebrate a milestone,
Entwined in lost days of once up a time times,
Layered serene moments of rest invoking
A tranquil touch overlaid with the heavenly;
Quiet now the hands on life’s tiller,
Noise of the wounded spirit
Blotted out by wisdom gained in tinted ashen turmoil,
The pilgrim sits, interludes dance in crosshatch
Embraced, abiding in sacred values beckoning
A captured chroma in still life subtle serenity
Blended reveries reveal the pale intimate,
Stories stored in the compressed soul,
As deep lines of passing years soften – fade away –
In color palettes mixed with ochre joy and slate tears
Waiting for the next breath filled with treasures, 
Softened intensities to burst through grey tones -
The soul’s pastel breath captured – released - unchained.

God is an artist

God is many things
Among those, an artist
The sky, his blank canvas
Sprinkled with hue of varying intensities
The sun 
A golden fiery orb 
Emitting light for all to see
To me, it's pure symbolism of
What Jesus is
And what we should strive to be
To be the light of the world
Not being consumed by the darkness
Of the worldly ones 
I fail, and I stumble
Trying to keep up with society's ideals
Wear this, say that, do this 
It's a controversial thought, but
Let's live how God intended 
Spreading love!!
The moon the sun's faithful partner
The silver glow of the moon 
casts a soft, ethereal light
 over the landscape, 
creating a tranquil ambience
 that invites reflection and peace.
To me, the moon symbolises 
Finding beauty in the darkest of times
Not the vague superficial type of beauty
Only looking at looks for looking sake
None not in any way
But to look upon the beauty of souls
Of hearts and of the mind
Truly I believe
God is an artist

Emotions

Emotions are fragile.
They're something to behold.
The smallest irritation
Could set it alight.
The tiniest action
Could light up the sky.

Emotions are easy
If you know what to do.
Control and awareness
Is required of you.

But not all are lucky
As some face a struggle.
Comprehending and accessing
Is not easy for them
Yet they do so wish.

Then there are those
Who feel it at once.
100% of that feeling
Crashing in your chest. 
Squeezing the lungs
And sucking out air.

Emotions come to you
In all shapes and sizes.
Different intensities
Dependent on situations. 

They are fragile,
Easily set off
By the smallest 
Of conveniences. 
If one is not careful,
They'll lose sight of their path.
Goodbye to all you worked for
Because it all took over.

The danger in
These fragile emotions
Is this:
You can't let it
Take over your being.
You must have control
And maintain it always.

By doing so
You will come to find
That emotions depend on you;
It's not the other way 'round.

You have the emotions.
You have the control.
Accept it for what it is
And all will be well.

Premium Member 350 Degrees

Concerned Christian environmentalists truthfully believe God created the life forms inside the oceans, lakes and seas.  He left mankind a legacy,  he was suppose to be responsible for these marine life species. It is of utmost importance people listen to dedicated groups such as 350 Degrees.

Other countries and other municipalities. have either banned or restricted plastic shopping bags. But restriction and banning in the United States is accomplished by mainly municipalities.  It is my prayer that the City of Everett joins them. I phoned Olympia's legislative hotline 1-800-562-6000. And left them this message banning those plastic bags city by city takes much too long.

Where did most of our plastic garbage end up? In other nations of the world, and they have had enough! They believe we created it and should be held responsible for its clean up. Those bags are non-biodegradable and are potentially harmful. They are rapidly filling up our over crowed landfills.

Haven't we had enough of turning our oceans, lakes and seas into human plastic garbage dumps? Because of human wanton carelessness, soon this planet will become inhabitable for even us. How many marine sea life must die? How many fish, and clams and other food sources of man, live on plastic?

People are becoming concerned about recycling of plastic. It is only possible if the products recycling labels have numbers one or two. Products can only be recycled once! You do not have to believe me, but you need to listen to 350 Degrees.

Our polluted oceans are rapidly becoming warmer leading to increased hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. Natural and man made disasters are occurring with more frequency and intensities. Covering a wide disaster range, and displacing its victims. Those people are facing their problems by faith in Jesus Christ.  Neighbors and churches are helping each other!

Love as always!

High alpine meadows are dusted with wildflowers,
And the faraway horizon is outlined with craggy mountain peaks,
Half-asleep lights blink through the sun-painted mist,
The sunrays dip at varying angles and intensities,
creating mixed moods and mysteries ~
It feels good to be up at dawn.


Deep blood red orange clouds ethereal dream float, 
Satin wind carrier of luscious mint green hymnody’s deft transport, 
Spring hues loiter in between  gray peeled branches, 
Chirpy echo squeak from red-wing blackbird a fragile threshold, 
Golden stream gurgle under marsh reeds ~ 
Evanescent saline grain haze


Azure ocean tide aroused from still wave slumber, 
Clamshell pearl strewn oyster oddments interspersed on pockmark sandstone beach,  
Iridescent canopy of nature trail,
Awaits the first blush pilgrim who revels in lavish glimpses,
And sumptuous earworm madrigal ~
A tantalizing world so close

Premium Member Lighthouse Am I

Amidst waves with their varied intensities 

Beyond disasters and catastrophes

Contending and prevailing over calamities

Determined am I to do my mission for seafarers

Effectively warning against ocean-caused wreckage 

Fulfilling my role as good guide...

Guarding and governing toward right route

Here I stand formidably, helping save precious lives

Influencing triumphant navigational moves

Journeys are made safe and secured by my presence

Kindness of my beam radiates the Sovereign Director's might 

Lighthouse* am I at your service

Magnificently reflecting the Lord's brightness...

Never, never ignore me then!!!

John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Premium Member Second Coming of Age

The second coming of age,
is like the 
softened beauty 
of the color  s a g e;
rich in Indian summer warmth
graced with shades and shines
of too many noons and moons to count
savvy and savory… seasoned
with salted depth and perception.

No longer a blur of girlish green...

rather, 
the continuum of time, 
has weathered colors;
fine-tuning mindful hues -
balancing contrasts and intensities,
blending and smoothing 
the not-so-gently honed edges
of life's tints and tones.
Continuance creates a mature perspective 
worthy of viewing a canvas
painted from a palette of gold and rust. 

Yes, 
the burnished beauty 
of the color  s a g e,
like the second coming of age,
is easy to take.
The grass green pigments of colorful youth
are muted by mistakes.

For wisdom gained, 
the price is paid
in the aged 
and ripened patina
of the color  
s a g e ~

my second coming of age.
