It's a tragedy
When you make friends with shadows
By switching your fears,
And turning hours of darkness
Into havens from the light...

Born in a valley's secluded mountain range
 Wandered along the rivers clear 
 Knelt in havens carved in a forest
 Escaped to dwell at ocean's shore
 Enticed to follow budding dreams
 And there, while chasing butterflies
 The barren desert bloomed...

Fond of love I cannot say it
having suffered I live happy
this ribbon that encircles me
I dream colors in butterfly havens

love has friends like alabaster
your hair is my ambrosial layer
when those kindnesses are closer
I spend the residue in thinking you...

Born in valley's mountainous range
Wandered near rivers sparkling clear
Knelt in havens carved in forests
Escaped to dwell at ocean's shore
Enticed to follow budding dreams 
And there, while chasing butterflies
A parched and barren desert bloomed

Letting Go

Today, my heart, you sail away. 
May your seas be calm and constant.
Plot your life’s course wisely.
Let your ports be safe havens.
And then, when your heart is in need,
Hold your course homeward.
In known harbors will you find comfort.
Loving faces will meet you.

I’ll  stand awaiting the tide....

Heard the news today 
     about Mr. Havens 
He left this mortal coil yesterday
    I remember his "Minstrel From Gault"well
I thrilled when I heard "Man came down from "Sinai Mountain" 
He was a terrific guitarist 
     with his own unique approach to the instrument 
"Gone from the Earth to a Better Land I Know"...

Solace for long sought;
Pivot to unburden this burden
A rhythm to hearten this disheartened heart
Smile to light this dreary face
Many ‘havens’ turned not;
Without peace eagerly needed
To unwrap this trapped self
From matters of earth that broke life
And she heard of Heaven and neared; 
A haven true to its name

Though like cats the hours stray,
The infinity of our love will never be far away,

The mist shall dance upon its ballerina heels,
As the love and garden of your lips seals,

The midnights shall sing with blossoms reborn,
From the gypsies and drifters lovelorn,

The strewn flowers upon the veranda blooms,
In moonlights sweet havens and rooms

Millennial Madness

Millennial meltdowns dripping liquid assassins
Hollywood havens dressed in fictitious fashions
Political parasites promiscuous pretenders
Inaugural inquisitions collateral contenders

Suicidal secretions, soups of the day
Tantalizing tyrants, leading the way
Corrosive climates heating the score
Idiocentric inconsistencies waging the war.

Turbulent impervious obsidian lifeless world clouds God's compassionate
betrothed faithful prayer family.
Moonlight joy havens awestruck love elation.
Aquamarine wave spirits hot desire 
beyond passion.
Lilac crescent sky petals.
Life bliss vows hope peace freedom melody.
Azure northern light winds kiss calm stars.

While the water’s whitened waves
Flew forth fast in foamy sprays
All amidst an airy act
Blowing, blasting, beating back
Seeing swarthy, seaward sailing ships
Onward o’er the ocean dips
Upward, downward, driving days
Seeking harbors, havens haste their ways
The ships sail sure in stormy seas
Calmly coursing comes a breeze
Now softly sailing, slides the ship
Muffled, mellow, made my trip...

As my head points toward the skies;
I cry
Jesus
As my mouth utters those sweet words;
My Lord, My God
Left chanting is the greatest praise of all
Hallelujah
And as I point my arms and hands toward heaven
I stand remembered
I am a child of God
I have a place, a new home
My havens rest is in heaven with God and...
Jesus

God's compassionate faithful prayer family
vows lifeless obsidian stars betrothed.
Impervious aquamarine crescent moonlight 
kiss awestruck azure sky.
Life elation spirits passion
beyond desire, joy, love.
Hope petals calm hot kindred bliss. 
World peace havens light melody.
Northern turbulent winds wave
lilac freedom clouds.

leaves fall softly upon the earth’s floor

color swapping from gold to brown

sparrows sing from undressed limbs

as they migrate due south

nestled securely

as they gather

in search of

calm and

warmth

thoughts

of deep

reasoning

as they gather

nestled securely

among defined havens

in lush trees where sparrows sing

scented blooms of pinks and yellows

seasons on around and in-between...

Taken to awaken favored
Havens, where images are stored,
Expressions, one can not ignore,
Render visions that are savored.
Aesthetic art provides flavor,
Catering to a hungry core,
Hungry eyes, hungering for more
Extracts that can not be wavered.
Literary images show
Quintessential beauty in ink;
Uncompromised poetic flow.
Imaginations are in sync,
Now that she glows from head to toe,
Named as the one, of which I think....

Upon the canvas in my mind
Quilted mountains greet sunrise
Softest kisses, sweet surprise
Brilliance charms the artist's brush
Delicate roses in hues of pink
Seem to make them blush
 
Laughing clouds speak dreams of love
Lightening jaded winter's frost
Lush forests offer quiet peace
To parched spirits who've become lost
Havens to slumber near sparkling brooks
In paradise born of dew drops from Heaven
And the change was priceless

Oh wandering soul, when will you cease
When will your seeking be sated
Or will you be fated to roam
From home to empty home
To wind up alone
Will you one day catch the dancing breeze
And will your fleeting heart flee
To that safest of havens
Where your free to just be
And in that place shall you find
That peace thats so hard to find
May you calm your racing mind
And in a moment of  suspended time
Enjoy the  glorious bliss 
Oh wandering soul
Of all that you missed....

The season of the 
    seder 
is 
almost 
upon 
us 
We will be filled with joy 
when we imbibe 
the four cups of wine 
   The mighty Red Sea 
parted for Moses and the Israelites 
as they move forward 
with their plans 
The late, lamented 
Richie Havens 
sang of Sinai in his 
   "Minstrel from Gault"
This year we once more 
are thankful 
for the Passover meal 
   and yes , we will take joy in 
our delivery from forces which 
are intended to destroy us...

In my heart…
… 
In my heart…
…
In my heart…
…
You shall remain…
A ghost long since past…
A Dream once gone…
My last breath…
As I look up…
To the light of a new star….
A new world…
A new life…
Thinking of… 
Your face…
Your voice… 
Your touch…
So as you search out across the havens…
Find me…
Touch me…
Love me…
But whatever come to pass…
In space and time…
Find away…
No matter what…
Because I will always be… 
… 
In your heart…
…
In your heart…
…
In your heart…...
