Short Bounteous Poems

Sorrow; 
How you scurry,
On legs eight
Your eyes, many.

How you pick a corner,
Weave a web thick,
And wait.
For your victims, bounteous....

in bounteous blooms
where rapture and beauty meet
in green parkland days

a colorful blur
gone past the edge of my sight
sweet humming I hear

but mellow sunshine
seems to overpower all
in the time of birds...

Crashing crescendo creating

widening whirlpools

turbulent tides.

The endless eternal smashing smoothing

looming lava pinnacles pinned in

an everlasting embrace.

Wizened widening eyes stare

struck in awe 

at the bounteous beauty

dancing....

Listen to poem:

dwell too long,
freshness 'tis gone
lingering on 'tis loitering
skim the top for cream
fish shallow with one 
throw of the cast net
then move on,
before the one moment
longing elsewhere 'tis gone
blessed be, the shallow 
touch and feel,
bounteous in harvest....

Roots and fruits , being the staple of earth 

Succulent varieties , distribute at birth

Bounteous cornucopia , gratitude pleasing

Source of life............. substantial meaning ,

Root of our foundation , fitting self fruitation

We bear the fruit of what we root.............

We look at the horizon,
oblivious to abundance,
when life appears routine,
The significance was lost,
Being too satisfied with norms,
whereas many others had fewer,
Thus, this gap should be reduced,
be present with our offering

Heart*

grateful

rejoices

with contentment

for God’s bounteous grace

sufficing needs

worth sharing 

midst hope’s 

bliss.

Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

Like a blossoming flower
I yield to the sun;
While listening to the rays of
Light fill each pore.
Never asking why,
Never asking when,
Never asking wherefore
Go I?
With bounteous profusions of beauty
That call upon the
Time of no-time--
No beginning, no end--
The poem becomes itself,
Completely itself.
Amen....

My pact with God transcends your fear
  and all professed religion

The faith I have, the joy I feel
  not subject to your laws

My relationship is one on one
  whose heart is freely given

To live inside his bounteous light
  —resplendent and in awe

Broken feelings…
My chest of gold
A torments ransom
No trinkets sold
The treasure bounteous
Walls lined with blood
Its hurt and pain
I have withstood
The jewels lack sparkle
But shimmer deep
Their cut and clarity
My soul to keep
And words if cheapened
Must leave this throne
As the lid reopens
  —on the pain I own

Four For Fore

The four seasons touch shoulder to shoulder intertwined, none wanting to let go
Spring touching winter, bringing shoots to the fore peeking through winters snow.
Summer burning bright, holding onto springs last blossom as long as it is able
Autumn for all, the season of plenty, meanders in filling natures bounteous table.

Take me to the place 
where the air is clear
and transparent, like the water 
that flows down the sides
of the monolith
an ever flowing, bounteous treasure
where my soul feels free

take me to that quiet hovel
that lies deep in the woods
an admirable little zareba
where a cave sits in the monolith
a cave that never ends
like the flowing water
and the dreams in my head

For the bounteous help that you have given
for the edge of sanity to which you were driven
for all the seekers that you had to slap
for all the girls, for you they'll clap
For another scout chore so very well done
for without you activities would be none
how to say thank you in some new way
always floors me as to what to say
but all of your work was done in glee
bright young faces are reward for thee....

Sizzling bacon in the pan
eggs are gently poaching
sausages hissing and spitting
fried bread turning golden brown

Toast just popped out of the toaster
fragrant wafts of fresh brewed coffee
cheerful tablecloth with vase of flowers
places laid await the bounteous feast

Be your taste just for a bacon sandwich
or if you like the full blown Monty
whatever you choose there is no denying
that the best meal of the day is breakfast...

A person who creates is creative
A dreamer has a gifted mind
   The very purpose is innovative 
Study closer, the blurred lines

   Perhaps your a luscious green fern
Growing beautiful hair, thick and long
   You can't describe a tulip, in turn
Expressing their beauty all wrong

  As for me, I admire from afar
Catching a glimpse of all different shades
   Noticing nothing below par
Just a bounteous colorful array...

AWAKENING

I stood in the green, green grass
Unaware, and my mind a void
When I felt a breeze spring up
Like a gentle kiss across my skin
And almost like a surprise gift
Filled my head and also my heart
With bounteous hope and love
Such that I never had felt before
Awakened, leaving despair behind
Yet unclear who or what to thank
My purpose as a sharpened blade
Now pointing in a new direction
In gratitude, I thank the breeze...

What to me today did God bringeth?
Maybe it might be so much strength
To both my body and flowing feet
Who has seen Him sit in judgment seat?

Lately, bewildered I have been
Waiting to be saved from my each sin
Many things may not be able to afford
Except all of the love of my Lord.

God hears my poems and answers each one
When each day starts and is finally done
With your bounteous glory do bless me
Make my life become a joyful jubilee....

Belinda the dancer, beloved of crowds.

Elegant hips,  sensuously proud.

Lovely thick hair, swaying she goes.

Lively wide smile lusciously shows!

Yearning her touch, such bounteous female.

Dancing all night when all others fail.

Answers our call, with pendulumed breasts.

Nearer she comes, to prove she’s the best.

Certainly she, remains undefiled.

Every male guest, wants her carry his child.

Raucus Belinda! Belinda beguiles!...

Thank You Lord for bounteous blessings
Hailing on us liberally.
As we partake of Your bounty
Not all are feasting, as are we.
Knowing this, we pray the homeless
Soon will have their hunger eased.
Give them food and a safe shelter.
That we care, we know You're pleased.
Verily, You have commanded
In our plenty, we must share,
Not forgetting when we suffered,
God of Mercy, you were there.

Sensational shockwaves of fall, 2001
witnessed world trade struck cold.
As its backdrop collasped, we trembled in a sea
of misgivings untold. 

Brilliant aftershocks arose then in quick pursuit
though nation’s nerves were pained.
Countless rich outgiving, volunteer champions
committed, unconstrained.
	
Into unplowed soil of cowardly destruction
bounteous seeds were sown 
freely without thorns of selfish gain or glory.
Faith bloomed - distrust, overthrown....

When shall it rain
When shall it,like drops of silver
Take the deep blue to its fullest brim
And turn river to a flood of bronze beauty

When shall it rain
To bring back the  musical of the windy  leaves
Into its  adornable vibrant greenery
All in beauty contest of colours engaging

When shall it rain
The earth thirst for natures gift
The barns hunger for the bounteous harvest
While the silo drain
My soul longs,yes,even faints for the comforting breeze
That comes when it rain...
