~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~On hooks they dangle, memories spun in glass~
Refracting fire’s light like frozen laughter.
Nights hum softly against their curves,
As fingertips trace the year's last ghosts.
Mercury gleam of a childhood long since gone,
Each one a silent carol, waiting to be sung.
No two alike, yet strung together~
Tangled lights, untangling time.
Silvered edges catching the tree's last light.
buoyant butterflies
sparkle like fancy sapphires ~
gems of passing dreams?
As blue cornflowers decorate each field giving hope in July.
Kings learn many new opportunities; probing questions;
real self-therapy; unblemished veracity with Xyris yearly zest.
Tattered old trinkets
antique glass bulbs and tinsel
tainted Christmas tree
Giant ornaments like tumbleweeds, like eye popping bubbles, boisterously released in London streets. Like giant lightweight bowling balls that cavort out of their lanes. The breeze plays volleyball, indeterminate who’s winning. The kids’ winning for sure. Follow the bouncing baubles, unravelling revelation of holiday spirit. Celebration in the streets off to a fa-la-la start.
If this was an episodic Doctor Who, those orbs would mean trouble’s steamrolling in. The tardis’ on high alert. It’s always London! The doctor’s enigmatic scrutiny of exploding rounds and Santas showing up. They’ve weapons too. Watch out! Don’t worry! The Doctor will save you.

It's claimed
that each of us is a unique piece from God;
How amazing!
Well, then, somebody tell me
why we are not able to come together
and create the real justice
with the divine power on the Earth;
Is it because a great number of humans
are Falllen Angels
or the source of evils ,
Or wish to be the best ornaments
in the Aden of Devils?
Aft’ i lift the honeycomb shades,
I sip my Major Dickason blend,
delight in a sunny sea of leaves,
behold a glorious morning wind.
Indulging in effervescent forest of trees -
my front yard’s summertime ornaments.

deck yourself up with ornaments - your parents' instructions
11.03.19
Proverbs 1: 8,9 -
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
I like to see humans in their craziness
Hunting, looting other beings their lives
Bodies, horns of animals are cut and used
Ivory, egg shells, tortoise shells, flowers
wood carvings brutally got for ornaments
There is a being greater than humans
He is on the way to earth to build a home
Which part of humans shall the being
cut, modify to build and decorate rooms?
Is there a part good for ornamentation?
And when he comes capturing and killing
Humans in their helpless life as elephants
With their extinction at the doorway
Which creature will conserve humans species?
Let’s think now as the time may be within
Whatever humans do to wild creatures
May be done to them in the remote times
sweet gumballs plummet
to earth from the canopy
christmas ornaments
Ha-Meeeem!
Swear upon the Book that makes things vivid
Surely We have revealed it in Arabic
So that you can understand it
And it is in the original of the Book with Us indeed
Truly elevated, full of wit.
Shall We then give up reminding you all
Because you are an extravagant people.
So brief lived is your existence
Swinging, hung in the wind of resistance
Your wonderful canopy so brimful and green
Once proud and appealing now part of a fall scene
Maybe not always so gloomy to us,
Thus,
Your ever-changing colors are enchanting to the eye
A spectator none can defy
Until they tumble endlessly into piles
Dancing in the winds for miles
And then turned into a coffee dust
Onto the soil and staining it to a color so robust
As so your job then is to rest,
Until you’re brought back at request
Now you’ve became a part of nature’s circle,
In the pasting years of a chronicle
