BELOVED SALUTATIONS-
To God be the Glory;
May His perfect love dwell in us?
Agape no greater love from man;
Yet He in us (does nor do sustains);
Beloved Dear one may His favor, grace and peace;
Permeate your spirit, vessel, mind and home;
We are whose we are;
And we’re covered by the Father Our Lord;
Glorious and Wonderful, Hallelujah;
Good day, good night, I love you as well;

We sing your praises long before you’re due
and after you’ve departed—all year long!
You bring green grass and flowers into view—
plus bugs, torrential rains, and winds so strong.
You come with warmth to woo the Earth to life.
Sweet fragrances come wafting on the breeze.
With allergens, the springtime air is rife.
My faucet-nostrils drip; I wheeze and sneeze.
But allergies and rashes can’t negate
your glory. Nor can pollen steal the praise
you’ve earned. Now I’ll just take my meds and wait
till I can relish your more winning ways.
I’ve sneezed on this creation seven times.
My dripping nose baptized the latter rhymes.

Salutations to The One
Who has in wisdom chosen
To express life through our soul
Encased for now in boundaries of form
That after descending He beholds our ascent
Recognising God pervades all existence
And thus as this play is enacted
Labours of love are resolved
Within this lucid dream

I come before you loud
Whispers my breath I embrace you hard holding your tight
From chest to chest
So close to my skin to me
You are my thoughts
We are one we overcome
The statics song and inflamed
is our visions quest
We look onward rethirst
We drink the Peace of salutations

Spring Salutations
Breathe in the air
let it flow through your hair
Stretch your arms up and out wide
lookup at the sunny sky
Bend down to pick bright red roses and blue flowers
beware of tiny honeybees and crawlers
The sun is out smiling
while bluebirds, robins, and yellow finches are flying
Breathe in the air
let it flow through your hair
Bears emerge from hibernation
it’s time for a happy celebration
New life grows and awakens
earth’s wonder and birth cannot be mistaken
Springtime is finally here
greet it with a warm welcoming cheer
Breathe in the air
let it flow through your hair

Salutations to Women
Woo Men
That's why Women
Men woo
But they never fall
That's why Women
They don't fall or get wooed
As in woman man is
As in female male is
In always by all means
What more tributes to boost
Follow the same in rites and roots
So don't fall or get wooed
Maintain the status quo
To be in quiet and to be in quite.

~Autumnal Salutations~
(Haiku/ Senryu Suite)
This morning is great
The airs refreshing and cool
Autumn's almost here
Feeling of newness
There's some lightness around now
And the birds still roam
New days just starting
There's so much to do today
So many new plans
Thank God for today
Think of friends and family
For them send prayers
Wish them all the best
Everyone's in my heart thoughts
God bless them and you
Prayers go to God
I am so thankful for each day
That He's given me
Day belongs to Him
Created all that is good
My God is awesome
Greatest painter
Masterful brushworks He paints
Everyday all time
Summer soon to go
Hot days no more and pretty
Fall will settle down
Many things to plan
Some great holidays will come soon
And we'll celebrate.
