With his dramatic oratorio,
In large anthems,fast & slow;
An anglo-german..all sort
Bringing opera to the royal court.

Robin Hood, with his bow and his grin,
Would take from the rich, where to begin?
He'd shoot with a twang,
Then sing with a bang,
"Now the Sheriff's quite terribly thin!"

My dear, have no fear,
For we shall all cheer.
Your perambulations and oscillations
Shall rouse the nations.
Their national anthems played.
The judges' scores displayed.
Remember it is only a dance,
So give it a chance!...

~Amazing Grace~

Grace
anthems
open arms.
No doubt are true-
everyday nuggets
of wisdom press. 
You shall reap
what you
sow.

And
by His
grace we will
live to see stars
embedded therein.
Honorable
open arms-
... sign of
grace....

I feel like we could 
sing one of those righteous
civil rights anthems.

“We shall overcome”
goes to the pandemic point,
and we could hold hands.

Our kinship is dear, and earned,
with simple sacrifices.
Our struggle isn’t over....

Victories fought and won through perils,
Enemies vanquished by the brave and strong.
Triumph earned through the will to win
Eager for Freedom’s flag to raise.
Rejoicing as liberty’s anthems ring.
Assuring tomorrow’s children are free
Never surrendered to tyranny’s chains....

Sing me no mournful dirges--
No funeral hymns of morbid night.
But sing me anthems of the morning--
Of new beginnings, dawning bright.

Do not rain upon my pageant--
Bring out the rainbow tinted sky.
There’s time enough for dark and dismal,
Let's bask in sunshine, till we die....

Politics in the USA on a downward spiral
Overworked anthems saturated with denial
 Contemplating this stalling and lobbying
 Makes me wonder why things are happening
 All we have left is a vote counted right
 Constituents unite to kindle their light
 Learn about who is the correct candidate
 Those making every choice for each state...

Christmas tidings boldly blare
Limp hands raise; taut lips flare
Minstrels and accordions pair
Rite, decorum forthrightly pare
Songs, instruments roundly declare
Strum the harp 'till spindly strings wear
Clang the cymbals revelry to share
Ring the bells no mirth we'll spare
Sing the melody a heartier fare
Loud your anthems fill the air...

Holy God
Holy Mighty
Holy Immortal
Thank  You
For giving me a capacity
For admiration and wonder
Thank  You
For helping me to
Put my dreams
To music
Thank You
For sending me angels
Who glow in my soul
Like roses
When they come
I hear anthems
Of the most loving praise
And they rise out
Of the clear, endless
Depths of my secet,
Encompassing joy...

My dear our days are young
like songs of new still unsung
like adventures of a bee
moments before it has stung

Our days are young

In our days the sounds continue to ring
voices of the youth as they play and sing
their distant echoing chants
composing for us anthems of the spring

Our days are far from strung
My dear our days are young...

Inside the tragedy
Put me inside you
I saw you there
Dusty anthems of heartache

Awake from the endless dream
Put your fears aside
With all the pain that you face
Stick me inside your body

With every light 
It shines on me
It brightens you
Electricity supernova

Im never alone
You feel the same rain
You feel the same wind
And you cry for blue skies....

Winer Visions For The World

On the steep rosy slopes of your cheeks
Glisten white salty tracks drawn by tears
Naive tales of unity and peace
Can no longer fill your heart with ease

Though you still hear loud choirs of angels

Their clear voices sing anthems of grief
Their sad eyes do not promise salvation
Their soft wings ache so heavy
With fears......

Jiggery-pokery
Taylor Alison Swift
jilted country roots and
embraced pop sound.

Spilled her ink at midnight
indefatigably.
Teenage breakup anthems
made her profound.

Hippity- Hoppity
Taylor Alison Swift
worked two times harder to
make her thought art.

"A million-dollar song"
enthusiastically
drove her to go beyond
and topped the chart.

A golden tincture to the sky
as to the west it goes its way,
last fleeting glance of the sun’s eye
ere night-time comes to wrest the day.

Sat tired within my garden there
high on a tree an anthems sung,
 a feathered lovechild of the airr
affirming joy of life on wing.

Its song more permanent than I
though I may think to own the tree
it cares not and all change defies
for that small bird owns liberty....

The Gilded Mirror


I hold my dreams inside my past
Where moonlight glows on rivers fast

And raging temples built in haste
Will dissipate, no longer chaste

O the anthems proud men froze
In gilded frames of priestly pose

Release my shackles! bound inside
My beating heart, where fears reside

At dawn the grassy pond will sing
In silent praise! My endless spring!

The storm of last night brought cool air
Tree frogs have much news now to share
Perfect weather for their rainwear
Clouds everywhere, clouds everywhere

Fog in the hollow tops the creek
This gift of gray clouds' cool not bleak 
Sheer shawl fog adds its mystique
Veils of Batik, veils of Batik

The roosters in the hollow sing
Chorus of anthems loudly ring
Air holds song accelerating
God conducting, God conducting ...

Who is this baby boy who came
To Bethlehem that night
Lying in a manger bed,
And bathed in bright starlight?

Shepherds came to worship Him,
When Angels announced His birth,
Wise men followed His star,
And Angels sang “Peace on Earth.”

He is Jesus- the King of Kings!
He is Jesus- Let the glad anthems ring!
Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace!
Wonderful! Counselor! The mighty God-
Came down to earth, to dwell with us!...

Songs found together,
Lost in the ether,
Never again to be heard.
Back in their cases,
Tied up with laces,
Memories captured , like birds.

Turn radio off,
A flame for a moth,
Sad, genial melodies.
They fissure my heart,
And hold me apart,
Snaring with sweet harmonies.

Anthems of love,
lost like a glove,
Just one half still listening.
These tunes heard alone,
Don't have any soul,
They no longer mean a thing.

Most beautiful thing in the world
Uniqueness in audio form
Synthesized or guitar driven
Intelligent or dance worthy
Cd's, eight tracks, tapes, and now DVDs
Acoustic or piano
Leveling enemies to a common likeness
Love songs or hate anthems
You know you love it 

Enthusiastic but not
Crazy admirer
Love for all types
Even guilty pop pleasures
Connecting with different people
Typically 
Informing others of a message
Crazy about everything music...

A gypsy dance enthralls the stars
into a twirl of rustling hems 
as women tap bare feet, guitars
lift twiddling notes of lore’s anthems
along a woodland’s lively fest,
where beaded hair glides in  thrilled zest
to charm night’s hours...to romp away
till wagon drifts when morning strays.
