Ever Turning Circle

In winter’s white, as angels cry
for early spring to warm the wind,
to bring to life with gentle sigh,
in love, the bitter frost has thinned.

For early spring to warm the wind,
at Valentine’s romantic calls,
in love, the bitter frost has thinned,
where dancers twirl amid stone walls.

At Valentine’s romantic calls,
rebirth of nature’s light divine,
where dancers twirl amid stone walls,
and blossoms pastel shades recline.

Rebirth of nature’s light divine,
when day equals the hours of night,
and blossoms pastel shades recline,
to hail the queen of May in light.

When day equals the hours of night,
a summer’s sun will come to play,
to hail the queen of May in light,
we chant and sing along the way.

A summer’s sun will come to play,
so life can grow as gods decreed,
we chant and sing along the way,
with warmth and light our hunger feed.

So life can grow as gods decreed,
the rays of sun on seeds we’ve sown,
with warmth and light our hunger feed,
the wealth of harvest is our own.

The rays of sun on seeds we’ve sown,
in autumn breeze that chills the heat,
the wealth of harvest is our own,
as gold and red belies our feet.

In autumn breeze that chills the heat,
a year that ends with blessed Samhain,
as gold and red belies our feet,
the call of Ancient’s name to reign.

A year that ends with blessed Samhain,
to bring to life with gentle sigh,
the call of Ancient’s name to reign,
in winter’s white, as angels cry.

My heart is the same full of love
     My house that shelters it full of pain
But it's autumn in my life, Dove
      The hair of gray and wrinkles reign

I set the table full of food
        For the family to dine fun times
But it is autumn in my life
       When changes prepare for winter

I'm not sure I'll know winter now
        For I have not experienced it
But it's autumn in my life somehow
        Where beauty glows bright from the depths

Producing leaves of many hues
       Love the autumn of my life, Dove
Now all that's left winter's white snow
        I think that when winter comes cold

Plants freeze if left out in weather
      They will need a warmer place inside
But since it is just autumn now
       There's time to prepare room somehow

I still watch the birds from window
       They have not all gone away love
But it's autumn in my life now
        Soon most will be gone for winter

Winter soon will approach with cold
       Seemingly death of the roses
But it's autumn in my life my bold
       There are few thoughts of approaching winter

But when winter comes my way
        The body rest to rise another spring
Now it's autumn in my life this day
         On another day I'll be called by trumpet away

Good times seem to travel swiftly by.
This is something nobody can deny.
It seems as if it was only yesterday,
when we met each other near the end of May.
Now it is early September around Labor Day.
School is starting again, and you will go away.
“Thank you for all the good times” is what I have to say.

I could never forget the shyness of your smile.
After that, you had me ensnared all the while.
We spent many sunny days along the beach.
I felt as if the stars were within my reach.
The sun, the pounding surf, and the salty air,
made my everyday life free and without care.

Along the boardwalk, I won many prizes for you.
There never seemed to be clouds in that sky of blue.
Your beautiful eyes always shared that same hue.
Still, the most unforgettable thing was your smile.
This made my life worth living all the while.
You provided that something extra on that seaside isle.

Sadly now, we have to part the ways.
However, we will never lose the memories of those days.
I hope some day, we will see each other again.
With a little luck, it will be just a matter of when.

Jealous Winter

~ can you tell I'm ready for SPRING???! hehe ~



Jealous Winter
     by Amy Swanson



Winter...
   
       you come and go

                like a child playing peek-a-boo

from behind Spring's shy curtain



Winter...

         you are such a jealous child!

                   So grudging of the warmth and life of

your Spring sibling


you race to steal the show
      each time your sister dares
             to show her pretty face
                  and share her smiling warmth 
                       gracing us with her gentle presence -- 


your ego too large

to take a back seat.


Enough, Winter!

         You have had your day
              
                   Your turn is no more...

                             The curtain has closed on you

                 yet


you insist on coming back

for unwanted encores.


Oh Spring...

         please come to shower us

                  with warmth and life and love...

and send your jealous sister

                                             back to Mother!

The Ruins In Which We Lay

There was a time
You thought about nothing
And nothing to you was everything

When torment was a substance abused by the brain
You realized people would always tussle and complain
Realistically we continue to be a figment of the same

And when life became a product subdued by absence
You deflowered and asked 
May I have a little bit of your absinthe

And when the world wouldn’t seem to let you out 
Silence was you because you thought about you were saying
Before the words left your mouth

When cancer comes as a form of love
Your lungs give a last warming shrug
These are your opening scenes from above

When Carolina’s 
Only decency 
Is to provoke a crush

When life calls 
And you love her so 
That you refuse to hush

You show her
Your decent sides 
As well as your musk

Because roses are red
It doesn’t mean violets are naturally blue
So silly how we fall victim to what we do 

The premonitions of a man who dared to dream
Reach out with wine and fables 
To put bread on his table


To Have Life Within Your Reach

To have life within your reach...
is to make the worst or best of choices;
either crush them or make them flourish...


Existence is more fragile than daises
their delicate petals smell of sweet kisses;
pluck them gently and blow them away...  


Butterflies are not bees that make honey,
they pick up seeds and disperse them overfields and meadows:
to give lovers a gift which is as incomparable as beauty... 


To have life within your reach...
means you have every right to live it;
and wouldn't anyone always cherish it?


Springs aren't as wide as rivers;
and shouldn't they flow merrily to the placid sea...
carrying wild roses to catch someone's fancy?


Nights of a soft and bright moon inspire a song of felicity;
have you seen its cheerless face suddenly light up...
when two lovers make wishes to surrender to fantasy? 


To have life within your reach...
is not to lose those moments to time;
realize how precious they are to a devoted mind!

More Than a Blessing

Rain is more than a blessing,
watch it from a window pouring...
birds take a long bath as little springs form;
and kids run outside to get wet and dance in the storm.


Rain is good for every tree, pant and flower,
and on them we daily rely for food and adornment...
plenty of showers in warm spring, thunders in scorching summer;
the happy eyes of farmers love to see it fall on fields for a bountful harvest.


Without rain the earth would be a huge desert,
no plant life would survive in arid soil and the cattle
on prairies would aimlessly roam to find a river for their thirst, 
many will die and the cowboys without their wild horses wouldn't be so festal.


Rain is a source of wealth and more than a blessing, it promises
pretty roses in bloom, abundant fruits on trees and wheat with golden kernels
in the fileds, where those stuffed scarecrows protect them from very hungry ravens;
imagine life without rainfalls, it'll resemble the somber moon with dry valleys and canyons.

Premium Member Open To Spring

I open myself to Spring,
anticipating gifts that it holds.
Renewal and wonders of life it brings.
I'm drawn to what the Season unfolds.

Anticipating gifts that it holds,
like Lilacs enticing Butterflies.
I'm drawn to what the Season unfolds,
sunshine, warm on my face lies.

Like Lilacs enticing Butterflies,
fresh air fills my lungs and soul.
Sunshine, warm, on my face lies,
my heart once again is whole.

Fresh air fills my lungs and soul.
Renewal and wonders of life it brings,
my heart, once again, is whole.
I open myself up to Spring.

Deciduous Strand: Autumn's Toll

Woody corpse; denuded stand emanating a paler hue
Barren limbs no burgeoning life doth construe
Stale, musty scent from it's damp twigs doth issue 
Winds whisk through sterile branches sighing a doleful mew
No sheltered perch doth it's pared canopy imbue
No decorative shroud to satiate the gawker's view
A vapid garland with no fruitful fronds to strew
Stilled life whose rings are scrolled with each succeeding, autumn's due 
Yet deep within it's fibers resinous juices stew
Spurting forth sticky wads of balsamic glue
Trite lacquer it's brigand hull to seal and preening pests to rue
Hearty saps from tapped bough do still spew 
Sweet, syrupy concoction; sugary fondue
