The gift that is given is given in vain.
The loss is incurred by having to explain
What the present is and why it is hers
The acceptance of which she deftly defers
Thus avoiding, yet causing, much heartfelt pain....

Love forever Faithful

Beautiful like the deep ocean 
heals from illusion,
saves from seduction 
to have interaction .

strong as mountain
which leads to fountain,
wakes to admire 
in the time of despair.

rests in the green 
for all to be seen,
what matters for been
is what defers in teen.

goes on like the sky 
forever in high,
This love lives forever 
to the end however.

Six years after the atomic bomb
Plunked down in Hiroshima 
Tearing people into pieces
Dali was still losing sleep over it

He begins to collect strips and struts
Developing a surreal idea of what he is about
Collects arrowheads, wire, bits of bone.
Defers from his usual style

Puts together Raphaelesque Head Exploding
A tiny canvas with a large message
Showing his disdain for atomic bombs
And the barbaric aftermaths...

She wakes and each morning is begun
With a salutation to the sun
 
Only one of many asanas
A meditation mantra she says
 
Benefits to the spirit and mind
In the yoga practice are combined
 
Other workouts leave us tired and sore
Sense of wellbeing yoga restores
 
Jogging and weight lifting not for her
To a total wellness she defers
 
Laughter and smiles add to yoga’s charm
Commune with Hadji to keep from harm
 
 
*For Tahera's contest...

Too oft interpreting my nerve
can miss the chance to know reserve,
not diabolical but serve
to know a hope in thee, unswerve.

Is constant as the day takes curve
and waits upon but not unnerve.
Is waiting, as the day holds urge
do wait on holding thee in verve!

From thy own restless heart's conserve
holds prayer to open thy observe.
Where fear treads not, and God defers
our struggle in each other's,  near ~

To His affirm in Glories cheer!...

Moon defers to sun, stars fade into oblivion
Diamond dew glistens in the perky green grass
Sense spirit blessing the yard, completing bliss
Coffee on the veranda, a bit of a chocolate chip cookie

Life is twinkling, waking up, sharing a chilly morning
March is on the march, no pun intended.
Faerie titters heard faintly amid the daffodils.
A cardinal swoops down to get a cookie crumb.
