Melodious chorale of angel’s song
Clouds are soft I want them to hold
Rainbows of love shining along...

Listen to poem:

A living forest,

Where chirping birds chorale and

Butterflies whispers,

Beyond my styled wood door, and 

Timbered home of nailed panels.

And in my dream that's where I am
Along with Jesus and God and Abraham
No greater love, no humanity
Could contain, chorale, or elevate
Consumed with ambition
Glorious revisions
Golden paved streets
And on them mansions galore
My name on the mortgage, no this isn't a loan
My Lord, My God has given me heaven
New home mansion in heaven

Wondrous 
Blest Spring bursts out
Glowing  h o p e  radiance
To showcase buds for blossoms’ bliss
Now readying earth toward new life sprouts
Midst welcome chorale of song birds
Praising GOD* Who starts all
Great beginnings
Wondrous.

*Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

marked blue jays’ God-endowed sounds…
forest grand chorale*

*Psalm 104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

written in an Indian form, abhanga

Lil Bo Peep found her sheep
in a lovely locale
singing Luther’s chorale -
Mighty Fortress.

She’d trailed their tails through town,
but sheep had found a church.
There she ended her search
musical rest.

Left - no longer bereft
refrains raised her morale;
this church, a cool corral
for shepherdess.

President Bob walks round the brane - with his Joy'see'n Mar'bells and his Clue-in cane.
Ionic thunder, allow and relax. Blueprint cells drop'n barley meatsax.
Brick and mortar - cumin and ply.  Flip Enhance Obsolesce Retry.
Hot Dr. Caroline.  Cold TV.  Past ore Ginny - a saint for free.
Maze master Michael in Krokers Chorale; softwares haven weaver is Hayle.

one star jubilee

hidden spark awakes
 deep within the astral womb ~
  cloud nebulas swirl

star light grows brighter
 new celestial wonder rises ~
  winter skies glitter

north star light grows dim
 silent radiance resounds ~ 
  wild shadows scatter

compass in starlight
 fiery orb shows the milestones ~
  solar winds carol

one star jubilee
 lights the way on desert paths ~
  heaven star chorale

What if I told you Deep in the abyss 
Was a watery haven where mermaids exist
Guarding treasures of pirates consumed by the sea
Residing in shipwrecks among the debris 
Maybe you have heard their harmonic chorale 
Through ocean’s Secret aquatic canals 
A Spellbinding symphony 
A treat for the ears 
But be well prepared 
it will move you to tears 
So next time you’re feeling the call of sea
Just know that the sirens are singing for thee...

A soft rain taps,
On the surface of the leaves.
Soothing the forest to slumber,
From the cantata of rainfall.

Thunder accompanies the mood,
Relaxed winds caress the mist,
As the tapping is invigorated.

Harmonious drips resonate,
Trickling the movement’s ambiance.
With a balanced aria of sprinkles and pats.

The lightening flickers...sending,
The heavy splatter into a chorale
Of peaceful...gentle showers.
Fading the oratorio into a fresh finale....

September leaves fallen and flew towards the empty sky.
enchanting my world to bring glorious color,
purple, gold, and yellow shades that sing a blue chorale.
That echoes beneath the silence of September fall, to	
embrace the sounds that bring, the	
melodious symphony that plays deep in my heart. 
Bringing back the old familiar string of yesterday, to
engulf every note that sways on dancing clouds
remembering the dance step, I forget somehow.

MAGICAL BROADWAY

“ “ “                  “ “ “
           



my soul is a stage where spotlights breathe
in an ambush of dance and chorale bubbling heat,
like stardust opening lungs and limbs on dramatic scripts,
a night draped in flights of illumined scenes, somewhere…
i am sucked, deranged, chained in a spin of tears and whips

it is nightfall when dipped sunset 
gives way to the brilliance of moonglow 
     against heaven’s trail —

an eve's framework lightly studded
in pearled dew...
birdsong humming a tender chorale 
   as orchids unfold
into warm movements of restful gasps…

until fingers wrap into prayers
     and bodies surrender 
through the nocturnal kiss of peace.
