Summer past its best
pampas reaching heavenward
trees about to rest-
Japanese anemone
as far as my eye can see

Wave your magic wand o'er my droopy eyes
   Lay my tousled head upon your tender arm
Sing a soothing, soft, nighttime lullaby

Spring days, as a child,
While grasping the ropes tightly,
I soared heavenward. 
Now, decades later, I love
Gliding gently while I read.

Premium Member Becoming Spring

Winter’s newborn fusses in blustered billows;
Colicked thunder rumbles from tantrumed lightning.      
    Blossoms nursing heavenward – April showers.
                  Christened is springtime

trees have shed their sheen
forlorn limbs stretch heavenward
garlanded with snow

Premium Member The Long Wait

to heavenward climb, some take time
since they're as yet deaf to love's chime
and since God's love employs no force
these souls must charter their own course
till they imbibe nectar sublime

The Tower

Heavenward
Ever climbing
Purposeful
Rebellious
Sinful
Anger
Confusion
Destruction
Scattered
Confounded
What did you say?


The book of Jasher says that the tower was built to war with the hosts of heaven.

For the Love of a Clear Night

Fly my love
inspired of eye
whilst the ropes that hang you heavenward
entangle to the sky
With star breath
on your night mouth
close your eyes and open wide
for tonight you will be privy to the morning's suicide.

Elm once clad in gold

   Has shed its colorful cloak

       Awaits winter storms

         Bare limbs lifted heavenward

            As if in supplication.

The Butterfly

Written in ABC 

Another butterfly, colors dappled, enters, flying gracefully heavenward.  I just kneel,
looking, mesmerized.  Natures overture plays quietly. Restless, suddenly thrusting upward,
variegated wings, exiting, youthfully zoom.

Premium Member Ascent

Divine love, light and scent pervades each cell of form, signalling heavenward ascent, as the last bastions of our ego fall, bursting noiselessly in the void and then that that remains is soul essence divine. 18-September-2022

The Supplicant


A meandering brook winds past
Branches sway in a gentle breeze
Praising the lord God unsurpassed
Like a supplicant on their knees

In homage to azure skies
Heavenward the sapling reaches
Awaiting its God to baptise 
While the black Cockatoo preaches

Stars In a Night Sky

The Goliath reaches deep underground,
grabbing a hand full of coal
Crushing the black rock in his huge maw,
polishing it to gleaming diamonds.
Flinging the treasure into the ebon sky.
So at night we can look heavenward,
and enjoy  a million stars
 in a midnight sky.

Premium Member Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 90

Silence with transmission power,
brimming with grace divine sublime,
which we feel as a bliss shower,
aids our soul to heavenward climb.

The ascended monk’s auric field,
by day and night oozes a scent,
inhaling which our heart is healed,
enabling our rapid ascent.

Premium Member Receptivity

There’s nothing we do, save receive,
outpouring of God’s grace sublime,
as magnetism does, bliss web weave,
ensuring we heavenward climb.

As we strive, struggle and endure, 
making heart pure, the only cure,
on our part giving love our nod,
leaving all outcomes up to God.

The writer’s goblet

Kings drained the goblet
silver and pearlescent.
A sweet odour drifted
coiling heavenward 
to feathered cloud spires
where ancient muses chanted
in tongues of mystery
and offered blessed words
inscribed on filigree parchment
engraved with magic images
worthy of few mortals.

Universal Language of Love

Alabaster beaches, carrying dreamer's evening footprints, glisten heavenward.
Impatient Jupiter kisses lingering moon.
Neptune's ocean pulse quickens, rising slowly towards utopia.
Virgo's wondrous Xanadu yeilds zenith.

Burnished Refelection

Stark space 
could allow for ease 
of breath,
but flooded glow washes 
in unrest.

Wood burned mirror
rest in farthest
corner wedge.
Its trim scrolls 
heavenward in facile
attempts.

Obsidian glass obstructs
true face. 
Instead providing 
an image voided 
of narcissistic delight.
