Hold my stem, lest I spill sherry
Pour unto me the flavor of you;
My cold feet go into spree
Is unsteady, yet free to go....

May it be long. 

Happy 2024!

Seasons meet, greet the New Year
Giving gifts anew;
Gaia plans, throws a party
A celebration of life.

Life is meant to be lived and celebrated
Celebrated for those who make living purposeful
Purposeful to them, and to others meaningful
Meaningful enough to be celebrated...

It's a celebration of life,
It's a celebration of self,
An inner spirit and style,
expressed thru blazes of color.
Daring to be an original,
in a gallery of the commonplace....

"forgetting yesterday"

forgetting yesterday is done
and now for this moment
tomorrow is yet to be

floating blue skies open wide
letting light to our souls
finally the past can pass

The water-pool was 
thickly covered with
roses;
a decoration for the
marriage.
The fishes in the pool
died after some time
due to suffocation.

Some days later the
roses rotted.

Long live the
newly-weds!...

I wish when I leave,
that my fellows cover my soul
of flowers and prayers...
To be glorious
my re-entry into heaven...
And that my body
be covered by
rich soil and
fertilized, for what
succulent fruits can born... !...

cleansed smudgy world by His love

It's a new life,
it's a new day.
Yet when will I
realise I have
been saved?

It's a dead life,
it's a dead day.
Yet when will I
realise I have
been saved?

It's a spirited life,
it's a spirited day.
yet when will I
realise through the
spirit I'm saved!...

warm feel of the embrace
withering leaves
time stops
hangs like a spider
celebration of life

intoxicating lips
wander in the dark valley
scents the lanes of the mind
a long sojourn
wonder like a child
floating on thin air
unsettled memory waning
your smile lingers

God is ever working,
We must surrender all
Hold back nothing,
In His Word we trust.
He gave us His best,
Return it with our all,
He deserves all our praise,
Let us dwell in His grace.
Rejoice in His goodness,
As He guides our way,
The Lord of hosts with us stays,
In His tabernacle He stays....

"washed by waves"

with yesterday gone
washed by waves looking beyond
reflect now anew 

exposed for all
tides call this rare moment
with open arms

each juncture unveils
washed by waves revealing light
take hold wonderment

                 Bold tree
          Consumes landscape
      Cries on soft green carpet 
Tears rain on branches in the wind
               Grass sings

The end, so close yet so far
We're riding our shooting star
Our life, the blink of an eye
A flash, that lights up the sky
It's sad so few will see
Our brilliant entirety
But for, those few that do
Imagine the dazzling view.

In life, blazing a trail,
At the end, a star with a tale.

World hushed in silence
          Birds unable to keep still…
             The chorus of dawn

                Melody of praise
     Chases the shroud of the night…
             Blessed hues of morn

           Dawn gives way to day
            The celebration of life…
               Is well under way

Trees take selfies
By the side of the river
Red green and yellow
Breaks free the fever
Storm rise out of the sand
Hugs the hues in ecstasy
Dense cloud hides the sun
Leaving them in cuddling spree
Tiny waves chat in the water
The trees prance with glee
Gee, passing by I look on
How a red rose is born
Disappears the dark heap
Still water runs deep...

When all of the people are dead, our legacy will remain for the world. A single shoe. Not a pair. Just one. Left or right? To say we were here. We were good, bad and ugly. We did it all: love, fight, laugh, cry. In the end, not of that mattered. Simply being there did. And now we're dust, our legacy remains. A single shoe. A testament to what was once here, us....

This poem is for my lovely friend Andrea Dietrich for her falling petals of Rose post:

FALLING PETALS OF ROSE 

Falling petals of Rose

beauty is not lost and goes

nor the life forever is utmost 

detaching they speak renewal

celebration of life and good fortune

predicating ephemeral nature of life

reminds death and rebirth

in all the ways keeps beauty of life...
