Heather with amazing colors,
Hollyhock and hyacinth,
Pansy and pink,
Moonstone,
Sardonyx,
Opal
Among the tall mountains,
in a sunny pure sky shortest day,
It was a neat picnic of the fascinating Motacilla Alba and M A Personata
A dropper of winsome Fall
in my cat-eye irises.
I fall for this payday of
solitude and promise.
God’s mercy and grace
in the Southern places
of my soul, playfully sourced -
Autumn in living color.
I saunter the shadows of treetops,
burns of yellows and reds -
sardonyx swirls of prose
amidst the evergreens.
A cool cat on the prowl,
not seeking a victim,
but relationship in this season
with open arms, ready
for blessings like raindrops,
showers from head to toe,
a sea of leaves to sink the teeth
into - life’s ebb and flow.

What Will Heaven Be Like PART III
The glory of the Lord all over your face
The glory of God is in this place
What will heaven be, what will it be like
Streets of gold, mansions foundation and city wall is adorned precious jewels
Foundation jewels jasper sapphire; chalcedony; emerald
Pure gold and diamond and onyx, carnelian, and bedellium
Ruby, sardonyx, sardius; and chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase
Jacinth, amethyst plus crystal rivers transparent walls of gold
This and many other beautiful visons told
I wanna walk on them streets gold
As I ponder, this I wonder... what will heaven be like

Well you are the Virgin of Chasity
All fired up in a warm shade of Indigo
You are the unification of cosmic
Forces in the shadow of Mercury
An adaptable soul but you never
Compromise your virtues
Born of the earth and the sardonyx
You are a beautiful maiden of
Royal dainties at summer's end
Your fruit is ripe and by a harvest
Moon your table is set with
This and that and it's never
Old hat oh at summer’s end
On a fat Wednesday night
Well you are a wonderful
Humanitarian touching many
A heart and many a life yes
You are the unification of
Cosmic forces in the shadow
Of Mercury and the last few
Days of summer all fired up
In a warm, warm shade of Indigo
In the wake of September
Enter, enters VIRGO!
My love, the world is ours,
its reflective sapphire oceans,
its turquoise pine tree forests,
its topaz colored days,
its moonstone lit evenings.
My love, I'm certain it's us.
The amethyst citrine painted sunset
called our names right from its onset.
You are my never ending wide open sky
with a red orange coral moon up high.
So radiant is your glow, a sparkle in flight
how you shine - a spectrum of colors like light
through a crystal clear white garnet.
Your hair like flowing strands of pearls, crests
lightly to sit brightly on your opal shaded breasts
with their dark red inviting rubies set.
Your emerald green stare gentle with its powers
like diamond brilliant rays during sun showers.
Your divine allure
so true and pure
oft blinds me
and when I see
I see only you
like the jade dew
covers the morning lawn
on a sardonyx dawn.
You are the gem drives my joyous life,
the precious stone keeps my dreams alive.
You are indeed a jewel rare,
"who" I ask "could compare?"
