opens
hearts and minds

a quiet voice

PART 1 of quaternion

austere
        confused
                in disarray
desolate
          by a crisp wind
          &chill rain
which
ravage 
    the fields
 &mountainside
                          as
tranquillity
      leaves
             the scene
&
leisure arrives
       in silence & splendour
to the
        enlightened

an aspect of grace
reluctant
       to leave
an eccentric pastime
remains&
             fluctuates

rearrange the garden
by pass
        the time
a necessary task
of the season
duty bound
a routine awaited
by
    the stricken 
         en pause
so to say

what to do
anguished
challenged
         to divisive actions
in the clear
            chilly dawn
braving   
      the elements
      at daybreak
unconventional
         yet composed
day-by-day
contemplating
         the desolate scene
a reminder
    of life 
        awaiting
the fresh vigour
                       of spring

Premium Member Stages of My Life

The mumbles and giggles of a baby,
wobbly, shaky I soon stand maybe.

I frolic and prance with energy strong,
for I am youth and can do no wrong. 

Life you are full of such sweet gladness,
yet, my adulthood is often madness.

Now, I stand alone on this life's stage,
frail, broken but happy in my old age.

Premium Member Love Is Eternal

 
Deep within green forests I wandered alone,
a nature child of seasons like a leaf blown.

I recall my first real kiss upon my pink lips,
and will never forget how my heart did flips.

Oh, we made a baby so beautiful and sweet,
I had it all and I thought my life complete.

But, this love had another fate and plan,
I will keep close how with a kiss it all began.

A QUATERNION
When the buds are tender green
And the fig leaves begin to sprout
None will mistake the end time scene,
The earth itself will shout.

Upon a horse,faithful and true,
He returns on a cloud,
As, in the air He comes into view
Every knee is bowed.

The book of life is opened,last
Sin meets it's heart's desire;
The deceiver and the deceived,cast
Into the lake of fire.

Water ,clear as crystal now,flows
Reviving,the once dead;
Those faithful,who Jesus knows,have
His name on their forehead.

A new earth,no more fire,sunlight or sea,
But living water that heals,thee and me.

Premium Member Scenes of Autumn Renku Tribute Pt 3

pt 3 of quaternion

Autumn's 
     long evenings
     long hours
         after sunset
in the play of moonlight 
              a celebration
              a small feast
a gesture
             of sharing prevails
a time to refresh&
                         relax
in humble
         leisure
   free
     from anxiety
     with one who is loved
a trusted confidant
                   indulged
serene&irreproachable
old&retired
       acutely aware
of the ups&owns of 
life
    the vain entanglements
worldly trivialities
once dedicated
      now weary
regrets
at time passing
             nostalgic
once memories
unveiled
       with gestures
       of kindness
               interleaved
in expectation

prodigious wit
in unlikely stories
of hilarity unfolded
        refreshing
           to savour
once again

the only noise
the voice of the past
in
uncertain transience
vain yearnings
the profusion
        of contrasted
in the
      multitudinous
colour-filled 
world
      of
        yesterday

Premium Member He Will Be With You - the Quaternion Style

~He Will Be With You ~
(Quaternion)


When with life you can not longer cope
He will give you love, peace, and hope.
He will help you to be very strong
When everything for you go wrong.

When you fight and struggle all in vain
He will comfort and take away your pain.
When you are at the end of your rope
He'll help you see better beyond your scope.

When your spirit is so sad and low
Before God just kneel right there and much pray.
When troubles in life just pile wide and so high
His divine love in your heart forever will just flow.

QUATERNION   (free verse)

Ah, Spring come again, the
warmth, the rain, yellows and
green.Grass, winds, blossom
bright,showers of life aloud in
the sky

Then Summer, her
beauty displays.
All nature in
flower, eye-catchingly dressed
to attract; then mellow vistas
bedeck the view with largesse,

bountiful Fall’s into our arms
to sustain our sleep in quietness

of Winter’s cold indoor nights

HAIBUN QUATERNION
WINTER in anger whips up the waves,pounds the shingle shore,whispt later SPRING in action,brings to life and feathers its nest.SUMMER ,so lazy rests the soul and flowers the land as AUTUMN ,so mellow scents & sounds the harvest home.

a summer moving                    flowers of spring
at the crematorium-                 blossom and dew,
tears dry in the wind.                beauty of youth 
                                               lost in a sigh.

around the corner                     Fall
days of grey-                            stands
drab winter gloom.                    still and
                                               hestitates-
                                               then becomes winter

Bella
He
opened
the window-
in streamed his first
love
with
flowers,
dressed
in white-
she haunted his
art.
The
eyes show
subjection,
melancholy
and 
a
resigned
acceptance-
yet beauty shines
through.

Head of a ***** by Watteau
THE WIFE
Of
Mahler,
Gropius
Franz Werfel-
filled life with her
song-
she
gave Klimt
her first kiss-
but like a Strauss
waltz
her
affairs
of the heart--
never lasted
long.

SPRING

SUMMER

AUTUMN
so

scents and sounds
in the harvest

On

On

An easter lanterne inspred by a phrase from Michael Bruce9 the noted hymn writer

ENIGMA CODEX
When

the poetic

more
easy 
to discern-
buried within
hints.

Thin

Lost

Rain
dropped leaves
spotted gold
mould in the
dew
