Shimmering Sunshine

Shimmering sunshine
sails across a silky sky…
the blessings of spring

Stars Shimmering in the Night

How quickly I became intoxicated,
inebriated on this bewitching night
while watching the luminance of starlight.
I drank deeply of the view with heart and soul
beyond my limit...  beyond control,
so mesmerized was I by the radiant gleaming.
Stars seemed to sway and sparkle
as if they were dancing in the velvet night,
shimmering in the patterned steps of a waltz.

Through a blackened hole of stellar mass
I continued to tumble among mordant shadows.
Sober enough to admit that I was traveling
in space while hearing a celestial melody.
A hymnal song written by the Master Virtuoso,
played throughout the hallowed heavens.
Lyrics that only angel's voices are allowed to sing.

The grandeur of starlight washed over me
and inveigled a symphony of senses in my mind
until at last, I was able to fully comprehend
the pellucid meaning of their inscriptions.
I'd been granted a mere glimpse of their secrets
in the realm where fulgent stardust whispers
of what was, what is, and of what will be 
long after the light within me has dimmed.

Under the night sky, stars weave a mantle with shimmering silver threads

Under the night sky, stars weave a mantle with shimmering silver threads,
Thoughts carry me into the enchanted forest, where trees whisper stories,
Shadows dance to the rhythm of the wind, singing a melody forgotten by time,
A symphony of silence, each note a dream shattered by the light of dawn.
Rain falls like a silk veil over the city asleep in reverie,
The drops, tears of a sad goddess, wash away the dust of days gone by,
Leaving a scent of longing and melancholy, souls under colorful umbrellas,
Butterflies under fragile wings, seeking shelter from the relentless storm.
On the empty streets, the lantern lights reflect in shining puddles,
I wander through the labyrinth of silence, feeling how time becomes an ephemeral illusion,
A grain of sand in a forgotten hourglass, stories gather like lost echoes,
Lives lived intensely, forgotten too quickly by the world, remain as whispered memories.
In the world of dreams, reality and fantasy intertwine like a magical tapestry,
Words become a gateway to unknown realms, a traveler among verses,
I seek my path on long and equal steps leading to the sky of tranquility,
There I find the answers I've longed for my entire life.

Shimmering Glow

Candle shimmering with a glow,
Burning so bright and very slow.
A rainbow of light so bright,
I am dreaming of this night.
A rendezvous for two might,
Lead to a romance tonight.
Candle shimmering with a glow,
Burning so bright and very slow.

Whispers of The Night

In moonlit dreams, the stars align, 
Their shimmering dance, a cosmic sign. 
Silent whispers weave through the air, 
Echoes of wishes, secrets to share.

The night unfolds its velvet cloak, 
As constellations softly invoke.
Stories of love, loss, and grace, 
Painted across the vast celestial space.

So, close your eyes, my dear friend, 
Let Stardust guide you, without end. 
For in the quiet hours, magic takes flight, 
And dreams come alive in whispers of the night.

shimmering diamonds

twinkling diamonds 
star studded sky glamor show 
adored by us all

Stars of Clarity

The perfect poem goes something like this –
Feeling stings, like a bee
Quick as a tear
Just as abruptly as a star’s glowing
A whisper, a sigh, a stirring – 
Stars of Clarity…
What it means to truly see beyond 
The grief, the longing, the all-consuming 
Passion!

The perfect poem is any poem that bleeds,
Not just ink 
But light, laughter, love
Signs of life beneath layers of words!

A Shimmering Glow of Grace

Prayers for more were in store

Nothing gained was the same

Until I entered a special place

By a shimmering glow of grace

The Shimmering

humanity shimmers, until earth wakes up from it's dream

On the Wings of Love

How shimmering is the sun bouncing off the feathers of an eagle as I gaze down from above?
How the air dances and swirls about the eagle as I watch, clinging on to the wings of love.
How awesome and spectacular are the different hues of colors in the glistening sunset?
I spin and sore amidst the clouds for on the love of the Creator my heart is set.

I witness the ebb and flow of rolling waves governed by the moon that hovers above. 
I float amidst oceans of continuous cottony clouds on the wings of love.
Atop majestic white-caped mountains, I roam, swaying to and fro thousands of feet above.
I am part of all elements known and unknown, resting in my undaunted faith, On the Wings of Love.

Shimmering Shadows

Shimmering shadows across the meadow trail
Dancing in the afternoon sun, glancing fondly
Toward the woodland coolness so invitingly,
Beckoning me to stroll beneath the canopy
Of overhanging branches hovering protectively
Like mothering arms holding the distraught.

A place to find one’s peace midst the enfolding
Vicissitudes of complex living, such as it is,
In these difficult, compelling times we share
Unable to discern principled directions clearly
While seeking what we feel we have earned,
Our fondest endeavors often reputedly lacking.

Shimmering shadows, ephemeral, as real as light,
Which we cannot take into outstretched hands
The branches swaying in a filtered breeze
Whispering consoling sighs, while suggesting
New imaginings, new lyrics set to new tunes
Bring fresh ways of thinking to mother’s child.

Shimmering Sizzler

A sparkling beauty with graceful aura
A sizzling smile of Lord Minerva
An enormously gracious diva
An iconic figurine like flora
Fabulously carved in God’s leisure
What a perfect golden measure
A superfect model with quotient in teem
Glistening with her evergreen lumine 
A combo of style and grace 
A perfect feminine figure I trace
A cozy buxom belle beautiful
Heavenly bewitchingly delightful
A popsy damsel and doyen 
Would like to have her in entwine
Winsome posture and wowsome appeal
An amiable gesture with wondrous zeal
Shimmering charm and charming shimmer
Glittering glimmer with gorgeous glare
Bedazzling beauty with enamour
Tempting seductress with glamour..!!

Sun Shimmering O'Er Frothy Snow

Sun shimmering o’er frothy snow
Like faeries glimmer
In far fantasy lands a-glow,
Shimmying they slither.

Crystals are glistening
Nature is listening;
Soul is awakening,

‘Tis quite a spectacular show
Sun shimmering o’er frothy snow.

Shimmering Silver Flows

Shimmering silver flows
Becomes rust glows
Either side gems shine
The border looks divine

Fiery sky burns bright
Onion hill stands upright
Tall greens touching sky
Alluring nature greets eye

Mesmerzed by bewitching surround
I stand transfixed, stare spellbound
Breeze gives loving kiss
I am drowning in bliss
