Untold sequence

The dark
So quiet
Its tireless
Its scary

The dark
So loud
Its so weary
Its so free

The dark 
That's where it gets you
It holds you
It shows you

Your mind
So busy
So everything
Yet so nothing..

...just because it's dark...

.. it's again night.

Premium Member Cause and Effect

When you don't reflect, on cause and effect, you're leaping right to the middle
With half of the clue, apparent to you, you will never unwrap the riddle
But when you know how
Milk comes from a cow
You'll be over the moon, finish work before noon, cause you'll know cat comes before fiddle

One breath to clear the mind.

Two Hearts beating in time,
Two lives beginning to rhyme.

Three hopes in a deep ocean,
Three ideas now in motion,
Three dreams deep with emotion.

Four winds to desire,
Four acts you require,
Four directions to aspire,
Four seasons you’ll acquire.

Five tastes we will pursue,
Five promises made to renew,
Five senses you must subdue,
Five days of work to get through,
Five ways to make it come true.

Contemplative Sequence v11

I praise you God for all in which you live,
evolving in creation so diverse.

I meet you Jesus in the Gospel texts
uplifting those whom most of us reject.

I love you Christ through all in whom you dwell,
thankful that in me you also find a home.

Lamenting how mankind has messed up life
I feel remorse. I too have fallen short.
And where your Spirit lives you bear the hurt.
Show me mercy that I may be absolved,
be blessed with grace to grow in faithfulness.

Though my will is weak your narrow way I seek.
Come Holy Spirit be my strength and guide.
Inspire me with your love, your joy, your peace:
- to show your love as I attend to need;
- to share in prayer at night for those in pain;
- to spread your peace in how I speak and act;
- express your joy within relatedness.

As I contemplate the wonders you create, 
in which your glory shows for all to praise,
you call us to conserve all loveliness.

God eternal, when at last I'm laid to rest,
rapt within the three-in-one may I be blessed.

Premium Member CINQUAIN SEQUENCE VERSE

So close,
so close the sound,
I hear but cannot see
within a scene,too surreal
for me
I run
I run away
in slow motion,so slow
time stands still,my frozen legs will
not go
the scream,
the scream so loud,
this cry I ought have known
a voice of despair echos-
my own
about,
about,it shouts,
I turn and stir..awake-
then doze..asleep I drift into
my dream

Premium Member Sapphire, Honey, and Rose

She is my sonnet:
Sapphire eyes and honey hair…
Smile within my storm-

A rare blue rose blooms…
Her psalm, a winter night’s flame,
My heart, warm, flutters.

Premium Member Fibonacci Sequence

Today in silence, let’s glean,
ratio of golden mean;
a Fibonacci design,
with which all life forms align.

Examine the human face,
as this secret code of grace;
nature displays life’s imprint,
which we may call, God’s footprint.

Eggs, seashells, trees and flowers,
yield to God who empowers;
the shapes and forms they display 
and to the cosmic drum sway.

The Word or the cosmic sound,
makes galaxies go around,
in orbits that God has willed,
by vibrations He has trilled.

All existence manifest,
is by God’s sublime touch blessed
and love’s pattern now is clear,
of how we may draw Him near.

THE WIFE(alma mahler)
Of
Mahler,
Gropius
Franz Werfel-
filled life with her
song-
she
gave Klimt
her first kiss-
but like a Strauss
waltz
her
affairs
of the heart--
never lasted
long.

Rah-Leasing 999

Everyday I am Rah-leasing More

I must make room for what's in store

I became who I became so I could survive

I honestly didn't think I would be alive

Now that I am, I can do something different

Wealth, Health, and good relationships seemed so distant

Health- I will work on daily

Wealth- Not explaining any further, I am a servant, but F-U Pay Me

Good Relationships- I know now I will not beg or ask to be accepted. I will gravitate towards where I am respected, not neglected. 

I will be where I am celebrated and protected

I will receive much more than I expected and accepted

I know, because I am Rah-leasing - Like releasing - but engaging the chakra

I deserve clarity. The human mind- so messy

I am now rah-leasing anything that's constantly stressing 

I am alive again in other dimensions

I dreamed everyday for a week

I will inherit the earth, because I learned to rah-lease, watch how I speak & stay meek

I Rahlease 999

Jesus bring me joy
as I give you praise

Jesus give me peace
all my living days

Jesus make me free
walking in your ways

love personified
