Big Bang
Is, sublime
First Kiss
Dawn breaks
Match struck
Thunder claps
Alpha, Yahweh
Time; it's Time
Baby bird flies
Baby born, cries
Let there be; I am, I be
Inception - thought stirs
Drip drops on water, ripples
Before was, before when; where
Number One, not a prime; a seed
Word made sound; silence broken
Nothing; begets something
Question AND/OR Answer
Light out of darkness
Eyes open: I am here
Name without a name
Cause without cause
First breath drawn
Before beginnings
Need beyond need
Voice of Silence
Fire in the bush
End without an End
Word is spoken
I am.....that.....I am
In the Church, I met a woman quite old,
Bending under the weight of years.
I wonder what made her steal my attention.
Was it her struggle to hold back her tears?
Despite her frail stooping figure
She seemed to have an indomitable will.
Defeating all infirmities of age, she stood,
With a face though sad, yet tranquil and still.
Strange enough, she recalled to me,
The determined but decrepit old man beside the pool
Who Wordsworth had once encountered,
Gathering leeches so scarce, but resolute and cool
I watched the woman humbly prostrate,
And feebly rise and straighten her aged form,
Surrendering herself at the feet of God,
Imploring grace for life’s little tasks to perform.
In her gnarled hands, she firmly held a prayer book,
With the other supporting her frail figure on a staff,
And with a sigh of relief, she left the church,
As if her afflictions were reduced to half.
As the Congregation dispersed in all directions
She feebly walked to her accustomed haunt.
At the rear side of the church was a Cemetery unkempt,
Where the ancestors slept, devoid of earthly cares and want.
Among all the tombstones in marble and granite
Erected in memory of the kindred dead,
There was a newly dug up grave,
That stood aloof as a heap of mud.
I watched the old woman approach this spot,
Where she knelt down with a calm demeanor.
Her withered hands clasped together in piety,
And her eyes closed in silent prayer.
With a convulsive motion of her lips
She rose and once more knelt down,
As if searching for a face so dear
Whose memory she could never ever drown.
Within that mound, slept her only son,
Who died in his prime, a month before,
Leaving his widowed mother behind,
To brave the shafts stinging, so sore.
As Time by seconds and minutes ticked away
The bereaved mother stood up at last,
And heavily yet quietly walked away,
Leaving the one who was once her own part.
In sadness, her faith sheds light in her cloistered heart
She has a calm assurance that though her son is gone,
In another realm, free from all tribulations and pain
He walks immortal in radiant bliss in the light of dawn!

We were committing unabominable crimes -
Rhymes that are rewarded to us since ancient times
I think I'll be doing fine
While our souls combine
As long as our love is yours and mine
Lord, just show me a sign
You're like a meal with wine
Your love clings on to me like a vine...
Here, we'll happily and peaceably dine...
As long as our love is divine
Lord, please show me the stars align
Your vitality is the loveliest of pine
I do believe you and I will be all fine
As long as You are our vivacious vine
As long as the moon and sun shine
Lord, Your glorious joy is next in line
You...yes You...are two less than nine
Which is completeness beyond time...a dime without grime...
The real deal beyond its sublime prime...a Corona with lime...
