Premium Member Artistry and Grandeur

You ask if I could drive us to the park
where no impediments of man distract.
Fierce gold and dusky pink as sky grows dark -
we witness yet another glorious act.
Creation draws our eyes to skies above -
the artistry and grandeur of the Lord.
The cosmos demonstrates the Father’s love;
a missing soul-piece wondrously restored.
Thou morning sun, ye stars and orb of night,
ye daunting winds inducing clouds to roll
proclaim thy Maker’s beauty, grace, and might;
thy pirouettes declare His firm control.
  Ephemeral these scenes that stir the heart;
  eternal are the hands that shape the art.


   The heavens declare the glory of God;
      the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
                                                          Psalm 19:1

Elicit Thoughts

as i sit here
my  thoughts thunder
in with the eventide

the orb of night
lights a path
as i walk along
i watch my shadow dance
tree limbs reach towards me
i can almost feel your hands
touching me

tonight's air is warm
like your breath 
as it falls against me

i hear the ebb
of your breathing
mingled within
this slight breeze
and i wish you here

fireflies flicker 
like stars and your eyes
and i become lost again
deep in my thoughts

the aroma of summertide lingers
through the garden,
i reach for a flower
its petal is moist and soft
like a brush from your lips
i can't help long for you
as the iris closes its petals
and surrenders to night

Premium Member My Heart Sighs For You

My Heart Sighs for You
One glorious day you drifted this way 
and life was ne'er going to be the same 
It was early spring, hearing bluebirds sing
in fervent sun rays that’d burnished for days.

We walked along an enchanted pathway 
where wild flowers grew in flamboyant hue
Creatures in their prime having an ace time
in gleeful display as we passed their way.

It became clear we'd become near and dear
our destiny, not a momentary 
We sang filled with joy no one could destroy 
dancing among sprites till the orb of night.

We sighed when stood on a bridge o'er a brook 
reflections entranced as lustrous stars pranced
Phantoms of the night ascended in flight
they'd been awed as we become enamoured.

The magical scenes drifted off downstream
I woke feeling blue, you'd faded from view
Never never land’s where we fly off to
in sweet dreams I constantly dream of you.

It brings on a sigh and still makes me cry
when I memorise our last sad goodbye.
