TRADITION WITH PRECISION

TRADITION WITH PRECISION
A poem celebrating art and the artist… 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ancient hands weave the threads of time
each brushstroke a heartbeat,  
each hue a memory etched in silence.  

brushes dip in pools of pigments,  
the clay shimmers like the first light,  
each stroke deliberate.  

every whisk echoes the practiced grace of learned fingers,  
as if the brush speaks a language long forgotten,  
revealing stories layered in texture and hue.  

in chambers of solemnity,  
the old master gazes down,  
his eyes a reflection of trials and triumphs,  

his art is more than mere creation;  
it is an inheritance, a sacred dialogue across ages,  
a tapestry of tradition and precision.

blank canvas

I love a blank canvas
how it focuses the eyes.

It’s black and white without
the usual vestige of messy
attention-grabbing details.

We’ll color those in later,
spending our creative time
whitewashing it with the precision
of our own nervous perfectionism.

We’ll strip away minimalism for cultural
resonance and focus the razor attention
of ‘couture’ obsession and wider comment.

Precision

   The sport of golf demands precision
     baseball, perfect vision...

   Although more popular than them all

Self-Like Precision

Raven on my shoulder, emitting faint smolder,
swirling, formed a vision with self-like precision.

Precision Swearing

Precision swearing they call it
A term that may sound absur
But it’s economical with the breath
And wastes not a single word,
It rolls smoothly from the tongue
Instantly relieving pain
And, in the case of mental turmoil
Relieves stress and strain.
Better  for use in private 
When one can really let rip, 
Out in public one feels 
One should really keep a grip.
No perverted back street cursing.
No random state of mind
No ranting and raving 
Of the common peasant kind 
A selection of eloquent phrases.
Not all of them in general use
All carefully, precisely chosen
To avoid any language abuse.
An unappreciated form of therapy
That is readily there to explore
A bout of precision cursing 
Satisfying to the very core.
Throw away your tranquillisers
Throw away your happy pills
A bout of precision swearing can
Remedy so many common ills.

The Shot

Bang!  My lips turn down to frown
Windage and elevation, it didn’t feel right
Turning the turrets, two left and two down
Minute of angle accommodating my sights

Both eyes open and steady hands
Acquire the target and slow the heart
Breathe, and lets the bags of sand
Steady the path as the bullet departs

Still high and right, the target would say
Turn left and down adjustments are made
Bang, and another shot on the way
Near center circle, the lead had been laid

Now the world was leaving my vision
The target grew bright, in focus and clear
The shot required not a single decision
No hesitation or thinking, no doubt and no fear

And just for a moment, I was alone
No thoughts or distractions, no notice of the world
No intrusion for me, immersed in the zone
Laser precision about to be hurled

Bang, the shot rang clarity clear
Point of aim and impact are justified now
Slowly I come back to those who are near
They never knew I was gone anyhow

Maybe engrossment, or perhaps a trance
It’s hard to discern what is what
Just like the dancer is really the dance
I am the shooter - I am the shot

Major Decision Use Poetic Precision

bishop suffragan
right hand person of bishop
who makes things happen

as well as abuse
an abortion may misuse
constantly confuse

must accept challenge 
or by it may be consumed
right down to last once

God always with me
set free from futility
with humility

always be laid back
people should never pressure
let them have own way

be sure that you know
things became  the way they are
never existed

when Holy Spirit
is in our very presence
we will be assured

has humility
when God had shown done on me
from sin was set free

up from dirt did peep
then our wheat slowly would creep
eaten by some sheep

had been some big gaps
causing building to collapse
result big mishapse

we were in search of
success that future had held
we were sure to find

we always did know
time much effort exerted
while we goal would seek

The School of Precision

We need those who keep us precise
Like the Swiss clocks and chimes
And engines so nice,
Oiled, clean and shiny at all times.
We want to be sharp and admired
By hones people who love us,
Be in precision and never tired!
We can see it as a blessing
To increase and perfect our powers
To serve God and confessing
All honor to be given
In the School of Precision
His will on earth, as in Heaven
Will be the right decision!

Precision Averts Derision

Ardor, not passion, when it comes to a profession
  Alacrity, not zeal, when it's time for confession

Make Decision With Great Precision

Make Decision With Great Precision

did made decision
we would with exact precision
 and no division

The Clock

The Clock

dial bright-white
imposed with
bold-black numbers

scored sounding
repetitive

like 1-2, 1-2, 1-2
or
tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

dial colors
contrasted

tick-tock sounds
perfect precision.

Heartbeat Precision

HEARTBEAT PRECISION 

A woven thread, not hasty, precision
of each honey-mannah dewdrop, in place.
Mercy extends soul’s heartbeat decision.

Of each honey-mannah dewdrop in place,
a restful haven in times of trouble,
a sweet bite of heaven - blessed embrace.

A restful haven in times of trouble,
manifest wings of Jesus open wide.
The master builder breaks down the rubble.

Manifest wings of Jesus open wide,
wondrous cathedral in shape of the cross.
A close-eyed prayer, a place where you can hide.

Wondrous cathedral in shape of the cross.
God’s embrace of time, sublimities grace.
Bright-sun resurrection dislodged the dross.

God’s embrace of time, sublimities grace.
The Ancient of Days’ roving eyes keeps pace.
