To Revel in Life
Can you, O Lord,
dim the sun a bit
and brighten
the moon some?
Can you mix wine
in the seas a bit
and add to the wind
fragrance some?
Can you color
the clouds a bit
and add music
to the rainfall some?
Can you sling a swing
over the rainbow a bit
and toss confetti
with the snowfall some?
Then, I shall celebrate
my life a bit,
and greet

Revel In A Luscious Glimpse
Deep blood red orange cloud’s,
ethereal dream float,
Satin wind carrier of luscious mint,
green hymnody’s deft transport,
Spring hues random loitering,
between gray peeled branches,
Chirpy echo squeak,
from red-wing blackbird,
A fragile wafer tin threshold,
Golden stream gurgle,
under marsh reeds,
Evanescent saline grain haze,
Azure ocean tide aroused,
from still wave slumber,
Clamshell pearl strewn oyster,
oddments interspersed,
on pockmark sandstone beach,
Iridescent canopy of

What gentleman would not revel in

flush with high-spirits, considering
The dolorous toll of the bells

Revel In Winter
opening your heartstrings
seeing your happiest self
mastering the cold
enthusiastically enjoying day's snowflakes
loving life and your place in it
feeling God's joy for the day
Intuitively wise, yet open
Unifying your soul-self with your flesh-self
You become blissfully joyful,
daring to revel in winter's eye

Revel In Silence
Don’t
think
that just
because yours
was the final word
you are right. Many times people
quit arguing hoping it will make you stop talking.
So you and they can revel in the sweet sound of silence but for different reasons.

Let Me Revel 'Til Tomorrow
Far from the language of men I buried
My sorrow, I wrapped it in solitude
Grieving safe in linen white and I heed
Its soft demanding voice rarely subdued
For should I say too soon: ‘I badly wish
From you to be parted. Go! Disappear
In the air, I no longer care! Vanish!
Vanish miserable friend! Vanish from here!’
Then what? For my

Revel In the Moment
Revel in the moment of now;
this moment won't ever repeat.
Live your life on the edge of wow;
don't let yourself feel incomplete.
This moment won't ever repeat;
cherish every fleeting second.
Don't let yourself feel incomplete;
in a way you had not reckoned.
Cherish every fleeting second;
get the most out of every day.
In a way you had not reckoned;
time is swiftly

Revel In My Ruins
virgin feet,
i stepped onto the quicksand
in ignorance of it’s
deceit.
as the clouds
overhead draw
together in the
grayest anger,
my heart hurts for relief.
i stand tall, but
that doesn’t change the
reality of this
disaster.
you were a tornado that
spun me for a loop;
so much destruction
in such a short time.
i can’t admit my defeat so
i’ll suffer in silence and
watch you walk away.
no matter if

Sly Revel of My Lady
Hear O maiden, on whom desire springs forth
It brews mine soul, chiming taste after port
Have thou detour, pursuit never will cease
Inside dungeon, dwells memoirs begging peace.
Not once does sole eddy whispers’ depart
Birds dance at lightning’s amazing glory,
Nervy morose obeyed deadly loch art
Baffle tongue shields the shame of thath fury.
Autumn for willow vale, bright morning frost
Exalts

Or owning the beauty of an unconditional unity with God, abiding in peace with one another,
the world around us,
one that existing through His goodness, I believe now is already and in always, through Him,
abounding within, and consistently surrounding all of us ... ?
I mean if you would, look around, and within yourself ...

~ (~) Tides Revel In Their Rise ~ (~) ~ (Part #2 of 3) ~ (~) ~
Seeing this now, I still, being blinded by them I find I am still frightfully often fighting Him and
this, and these facts.
And knowing myself and knowing no other viable future, without Him.
His love, exults for me, all of us I believe, a true, permanent and abundant freedom and
universal peace, and liberty.
And
