My Medallion Morn
your soft crimson ink pours into rivers,
along shores of tenderness I seek nothing
but your adoration-
fair minded and strapped in with kindness;
my soul no longer scarred from wounds
too deep to heal-
for it was fate, my love;
you carried me over bridges when my fear
crippled me to the point I wanted to give up-
sacrificed your light for me,

I Shall Take Pride In Medallion Strength
My brave grandfather fought in the trenches
there he saw things that no man should see
With blood of his comrades he drenches
so exhausted, yet he dodged bullets every day
and bravely soldiered on so that we could be free
Ultimately with his own life he sadly had to pay
His St Christopher medallion he wore with

Medallion Moments
a decastitch
Agur offered this dual plea
to the Lord God Almighty.
Keep lies far from me;
give me riches nor poverty.
a well-reasoned entreaty
Agur was no simple youth.
great wealth renders pride forsooth
great hunger makes men uncouth.
We’ll all encounter deception's tollbooth
counting medallion moments of truth.
written March 17, 2018, inspired by Proverbs 30:7-9

Medallion Hues
An aria of dawn breaks, I’m at ease,
above the sapphirine skies sunbeams glow.
Morn rises in the east as night does cease,
stardust fades into warm light rays below.

Medallion Moments
Medallion moments dawdle,
shading hints of ruby and brass-
grains of sand linger,
like lost sand in an hourglass.
I feel the blazing embers of
heated passion in a lover's dream-
the sanctity of a desert landscape,
feathering a vista so serene.

Brief-Medallion Moments
The rose buds of chameleon drift off in time,
while chromatic willows weep and grieve-
I hear a midnight lilac mourn in a crimson chime,
and feel the medallion moments of the lily leave.

Medallion
Dark were the shadows
thrown by a medallion sun
as you walked away…
Left behind in evening tides,
I brushed fool's gold from my hands

My Soul's Medallion
keep this in your bright heart's hollow
t'was rolled twice in the dust of stars
along the track t'winxt earth and mars
where cosmos would surely collide
save for my constant vigil
I watch the planets
keep theur time
and allthe things I say,I see
here take this thing away from me!
sewn inside are seven seasons
waxed and sealed by kings and queens
some for
