We are caught
In this hail storm...

Bat flippin’ shat crazy
Don’t say maybe
You plucked the thorn
My clarion of clarity

Bent no LSD
Sing my fine canary
Walked the water’s edge
To wander water's over...

when lightning strikes
upon the earth
you 
shall hear
the 
clarion call of Gabriel's Horn
shower the 
Chosen People of the earth!
lord
we 
hear your claps of thunder
upon
the 
Chosen People of the earth...

I hear the chimes pealing from the steeple high
Glorious sounds of hymns hovering over all ~~
          Like sweet voices of angels their message nigh
          From ages past a clear and certain clarion call.

I’m borrowing bones.
Tell me the others are here.
The clarion call marked a lasting petal.
My eyes still flutter upon your ear.
Worlds wander into each other,
Like words in new suits.
So play your flutes.
No one has time for anything other than joy anymore....

Clarion calm sea
right before thunder;
A man wave boarding,
teens sit catching rays;
An emerald gleams;

No sweat beading 
on my iced drink;
Time moves gently,
I am spellbound;

Waves fly up 
choppy, bright;
A storm rise;

The tide’s 
moods swing

big....

A wisp of remembrance
Soft glow fills the air
Igniting compassion
Stirs dead hearts to care

And deep from the middle
Of a gnarled long dead tree
Spring forth living branches
That the whole world may see

Oh miracles happen
They aren’t even rare
You just have to ignore them
To think God isn’t there...

Infallible one born among the weeds
He heeds the call arrested
Some declare another one the clarion
Yet one within attests to truth forever

Time for tares to dominate a conversation
Truth the test evades the seed hopper
Time the tool for cultivating iterations
Long in passing, short in eternity...

Earth bound steeds rise mindful to soar for love of sky,
racing in the cresting peaks, adrift as if to fly.
Up from the sea the winged fish leap, swimming to the sun
even conch shells dreaming cry to wing upon the breeze,
as the roar of tempest rings the salt souls to appease.
Ah, the clarion call of Gabriel's horn, bliss for everyone....

rage
blood red
simmering
boiling over
insecure imbeciles off gassing pain

a fraternity of inbred hound dogs 
renting shepherds
flocks are lost
horror
death

soul
lingers
ghostly lights
clarion calls
the atomic spin of celestial night 

loss of foul ego conjoined particles 
wonder free falls
I less bliss
haunting
rite...

April
awesome arrival
await always avidly
as augurs amour

 
Betrothed
besotted belle beau
both blossom beautifully
beget baby boy

 
Cherish
crickets chirp constant
cockerel clarion call
can calm crying child

TETON    TITANS



Tetons’  bouldered shoulders close over   Michael’s knelling golden clarion.



. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Written for  ^Rick Parise's  Contest   "Nature Monoku ~ Single Line"



NOTE

Just couldn't resist this contest  because the Snake River and
the Tetons in the photo are one of my favorite spots....

There's a spirit abroad, in the air
  You feel it forming everywhere
Behind closed doors, locked down tight
  A feeling that we're doing this right
    ~ A clarion call to unite

Together we stand, divided we fall
  Abe Lincoln's words hover over us all
Rich man, poor man, red or blue
  "Yes, we can," we sense anew
We'll prevail 'gainst COVID-19 too...

Grumbled at Noah's clarion call
Of the gloomy existence fall.

Started the journey quiet early
Among others so many.

Speed mocked at your gait
As swift animals to the Ark's gate

Creepy slow shelly animal
Bent to the Ark's aisle

Must have been the last
As others animal, you, passed.

Helped by Noah's hands
For heavens ready to purge the 
lands....

Chants echoing home bliss
Celestial songs of heart
Commending folks’ good times
Clear through guitar rhythm
Celebrating triumph
Clarion for me to hum:
“Cordillera*, you're God**-blest.” 

*My home region in our country
**Psalm 47:5 God is gone up with a shout, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

Your Word, Dear, Lord,
I wait to hear,
as hymns of praise,
play in my ear.

In you alone,
I place my trust.
Your ways are loving,
true and just.

I pray my sins,
You will forgive.
My heart I bow.
In You I live.

Then, in a hymn,
Your voice, I hear,
singing to me,
clarion clear.

Listening for God,
you, too, can hear,
His voice on earth,
is ever so near....

If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All,”
For, whatever the situation, it is the message
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage,
I'd pass this adage in my far-advanced age:
“Love Conquers All,” sends a clarion call,
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All!”

The Clock Strikes Dawn 
David J Walker 

Again, please
I repeated asking the voice 
To clarify its point concerning time

The visions escape 
In the awakened light 
From those whose traveling companion 
visits only in a clarion 
Instance of second sight

No wonder 
            there was no answer
The moment was gone 
As I waited  
           for the clock to strike dawn...

Compatriots of democracy,
yet again witness a change of power,

With eyes no longer blind, 
we'd hold you accountable this time,

for revival and hope renewed,
we will stand with you

though times are perilous,
and  life a little rocky

but in this whirlwind of dust,
the people are resilient

we are first compatriots of democracy,
and on this windfall,

we rise and obey
the clarion call....

Toxic feelings & thoughts
Like do's & don't, taboos & aught's.
Keep vaccinated against them!
Like a coveted gem
Is the full-suit armour of truth,
A balancing against uncouth
Of yours & other's reactions,
Knee-jerk fears & actions.
From whence are they?
How do they play?
Demons laughing at mind frozen,
Stuck-in-the-mud, embolden.
There is a bulwark for it all:
Jesus Christ's clear clarion call!...
