Deja Vu

In lives past, a silent rue,
Whispers dance, déjà vu.
Familiar paths, memories accrued,
Time's echo is a mystic brew.
Past and present entwined, anew.

His currency was empty promises.
He doled them out like no tomorrow.
Meanwhile mountain of debt accrued.

Distorted

Arabian sea
Encroached the city
With chopped head
And swelled legs.

Clouds fought like black cats
Spirit scented rain raged on.

The world lay
As if in a morgue
Varied dance accrued
Atop it.

Finite Reach of Terms

The pinnacle source
We strain to unfurl
The mind pulls apart

Seams of iron stand
Accrued throats of steel
Hammered against raw will

But the energy breaks with season
As moods uncovered what went
Secretly finite, scrawling new terms

Doesn't seem right, though I started walking each morn Gaining weight must be brain muscle that's been reborn Once again can add two plus two And other stuff I've accrued Wearing make-up, prancing around in a nurses uniform

Garden As A Doorway

Opens as an invite
And multihued
Soft, for whom heard, speak low
Spring had accrued.
The single-minded bee.
That seriously!

Now wider, with a more
Impassioned fuss
For whom heard not, Spring too
Has massed. O'erplus!
One-hearted butterfly.
That smoothly sly!

Wow - Excellent XL

Revolutionary insight excelled
for forty days and forty nights.
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses received God’s ten laws twice.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed o'er Satan's tests.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…

and thoughts of gratitude.

the only season that has the power
to turn a handful of leaves
into a bouquet of flowers.
