Through autumn leaves a brook pours forth
God's life-sustaining fount of wisdom.

The fount from earth’s natural flue

Sends white cascades to translucent blue

Our boundless deep well tokens really count  
with folk who bear a burden or a cross 
they heal so many wounds in times of loss
Be lavish fellow pilgrim, be a fount....

reverie dawdles
                                           cascading down fount of life
                                irrigate Spring's grace

The pond is like a huge mirror on the ground, 
With shadows of high clouds floating around.
You may wonder why it is crystal-sparkling,
It’s the fount that keeps the water inflowing.

John Abbott was thrown from his mount
Right in front of a girl who might count
Cuss words ran from his lips
As his pants ran in rips
To mask it John sat down in a fount

Amen and Amen Again and Again

Amen and Amen we have said a fair amount;
That is way much more that we care to count;
Saw a cross;
In trash toss;
Our blessings could not be found at the fount.

You may conquer
on horseback
but to rule
must dismount
Pandora
lies waiting
new blood
for the fount

Napoleon

The vanquished
in chaos

flare
of rings 
crimson sight
fount spring linger
carnations with frills rubescent frenzy 
shade the twilight in ruby-red rapture 
how do leave your
mind's richness
fit space

Little stars within the pane
Catch the light in sweet remain
Dance upon the weathered face
Cyan gems of sunlit grace
Deeper sparks of moonlit fount
Echoed in the same amount
Catch the eyes when so aligned
For the seeking eye to find...

I can imagine
The Mount melting into a fount
And the fount hardening into a mount

I can imagine
The earth squeezing into a ball
And the heavens rolling into a scroll

But to imagine
You out of my sight
I’ll rather die than imagine...

Quatrain #288:
MAZE


Make moments count as purpose styles,
Ask for wise fount to work grand piles;
Zest meets amount beyond plenty,
Etch fine accounts of touch worthwhile.

MARK


Make moments count as focus shows,
Ask fond amount to flood grand flow;
Rise to account for acts profound,
Keep close the fount where wise worth glows.

America
Who made thou free,
thy soil-sublimed,
thy bliss to be?

America
O blessedness!
Fount beyond
thriven-promise...

America
shrined Liberty;
the dream for lost
old sailors'glee

America
of morning- Rise!
Beauty for youth
in pending-skies......

A flock of Blackbirds visited 
They fed on cracked acorns
And left well filled; a few Robins 
Ate as each one returned

Two Blackbirds came to drink water
From the local shared fount 
Which each day slowly gets lower
On these dry days their haunt

Of this Love, God's godly substance
That let itself spurt out
As a fount of human suffering
Is what's heard sung about.
Midst parched hearts, world's collective
Edenic hoping renews.
Under harsh winds' curse, and vultures'.
Grinding fate's; Death's subdues....

Utopias; are they not the bane of
Impossible exploring?
Fable-isled, misting up out long gone
Crazed marriner's imploring?

Yet there stood we, and firm; soaked of this
Fount of joy's rainbow-uplift!
Unknown of each new world-sprung child.
Restless wisher; cast adrift!...

Your mental window’s fashioned from
Panes of glinting bright stained glass,
And through them streaming sun rays come.
Your mind conducts its private Mass.
Soft hymns and Sacramental rite,
Holy water at the secret fount.
Communion hidden out of sight.
Inside your heart, an Olive Mount....

Elk Walk

           elk walk in snow to
     find a morsel in warm fount
         beyond, fields beacons


                The Rancher

          morning frost twinkles
      while rancher sips coffee and
            whiffs new arrivals

More silences than soft embraces, 
now we're lost with little left to say;
what used to be the flame of love
has gone to ashes, brittle, cold and gray.
Stilted words and courtesies
are all that seem to slip from our tired lips
as quick the fount of memory fades, 
the final ember flickers now and dips....

More silences than soft embraces, 
now we're lost with little left to say;
what used to be the flame of love
has gone to ashes, pale and cold and gray.
Stilted words and courtesies
are all that seem to slip from our tired lips
as quick the fount of memory fades, 
the final ember flickers now and dips....
