But in the bliss squall, their souls always stand tall

Hopen having mercy
Onimpetent open contrast views
Pprayerfully confident talkings to creator,  God
Eeverlasting heeding  negativism and denial

The heart has this hard-headed habit
of hoping against the dimmest hope,
of hearing but not heeding 
the head.


Though routinely it gets gravely hurt,
it is healed by time, enabled to cope,
unafraid once again to get 
wounded!...

Old enough to reason
young enough to care
My heart eloping with my mind
mustard seeds to share

Adding to the zeitgeist
new bricks within the wall
Laying rhythms one by one
—heeding fortunes call

Chill has filled the air
frost has formed upon the ground
leaves have begun to fall
aches and pains have settled in
I'm heeding nature's call

make way for the bear
the grouse, the blue tit mouse
It's time to disappear
let's hibernate 
and return again next year...

Heeding the call for the death of nobility
Each will teach another 
And soon rocks will fly like
Dying birds in the 
Sky

Win or lose the King
Is bound to
lose his
life

Round heads and towheads and bowed heads
On down
loving the kiss, the
lick of the guillotine...

Human hearts harbor hope to cope,

heeding its call for give-and-take.

Hormones oft weave words into rope,

helping one feel such bonds can't break.

Half-truths leave lovers feeling dumb,

harbingers of what is to come,

however, there is always hope.

This hand, Time's, extends
As gift-giver
Be quick, each golden chance
To snatch from out.
Of Love's butterfly-wing
Left in no doubt!

Heeding, by what blows
Lifelong across
For Change. Coldly unswayed
By pleas to stop.
Her late bloomer's! Come, gone
Whom flapped a fop....

Coiled in a blanket

loops joined in winter

crazed by interlude

spring out of cold step

she snaps into life


dusts her cobwebs

crochets a path

season unfolds

promises change


joints aching

fused from rest

test motion


bluebells

seed lush


tunes...

Heart understands that love is all
But we rely on mind
Wasted life heeding not God's call
We're trapped in ego's bind

Conditioned by the herd
Our thoughts and deeds wayward
Love within not yet stirred

Just holding hands
Heart understands

how can an unconscious mind have free will
it cannot and yet it is empowered
by breath of Holy Spirit 
to imbibe wisdom
grow in love
to awake

instincts 
in time pause
heeding whispers
of the voice of God within 
cajoling us to receive the boons
of His love and light and bliss and wisdom ...

I heard the sweetest phrase from afar 
They said "take no notice my love" 
Hearing that I pondered
How wonderful
If I could take that advice
Allow each thought or word
To pass by and decide 
Which needed heeding
Simply discard those that were unhelpful 
"Take no notice my love"
And the day goes on, with love...

Listen to poem:

the end of time is near
there'll be no heeding reason
come out to play
bring us your sick
so we may dance and carry on
stare danger in the face
we’ll rally it’s our right
our claim to fame and glory
join us we will not live in fear
the end of time is here

Duality requires both space and time
and therefore in any realm or domain,
simply heeding in silence, love throbs chime,
egoic fears and desires, are to rest lain,
enabling presence to heavenward climb,
with bliss in renewal, our heart’s refrain.
The freedom heart seeks is then ours to claim,
nonchalant eye treating life as a game....

Oh, to sway in a hammock of palm
     Glistening in sunlight from our nearest star
Surrounded by trios of succulent mango
     Heeding the beat of a jungle psalm 

Oh, to rock in a cradle of cotton
     Tinted by prism of rainbow delight
Regaled by the whispers of breezy blue rivers
     Bedeviled by nothing, all troubles forgotten...

A-im to be no stranger, 
R-each the kingdom's gate; 
T-wenty-second of July, search for the true faith. 

A-im to be no stranger, 
S-eek the one right path; 
U-se your heart to listen, 
N-ever suffer the Lord's wrath. 
C-ome into the light, 
I-nstead of heeding the deceiver; 
O-pen your eyes to truth, 
N-ow aim to be no stranger....

beautiful view of God's world

Lo, Those scarlet lights
Shining ever so bright
Along the horizon

Come to me oh, beauty...
beautiful view of God's world

Oh, my eyes sheds 
Fallen rain stalls
Heeding promises of rain bows

Come to me oh, beauty
beautiful view of God's word

Chickens clucking, pecking paths in the dust
Cow bawling for the calf who loves her bust
Turkeys gobbling, heads nodding 
Cats purring, dogs applauding
Farmers heeding, flapping hands in disgust

Donning a vintage coat, boots, hat and all,
the last organ grinder readies his smile,
outside the old age home, heeding love’s call,
to rekindle heart’s joy, for a short while,
triggering memory elders recall,
recounted to young ones, in life’s last mile.
His next stop is for the autistic child,
where he’ll sing songs by God’s angels compiled....

Kings may come, kings may go, 
I go on forever. 
Letters in a constant flow, 
Recording each endeavour. 
On the walls and in the halls 
You may find that I vex, 

Waxing tall or shrinking small 
And alternating sex. 
Seas I ford, I go abroad 

Heeding my vocation, 
Evading eyes and compromise, 
Resourceful, I claim all disguise, 
Even bilocation!...

A murder of crows flies across
the blue sky at day's break
The look out caws a warning 
Danger, danger caution take

Heeding the call they fly away
A chance to live another
Humans seem unaware, continue
to fall, soon beneath earth's cover

There is a paleness of pink
upon the earth's horizon
Day follows day, man drifts away
Without realization  ...

Ants creeping under our skin;
soma nectar seeping in,
that bliss beats may dance with glee,
heeding our heart’s soulful plea.

Bliss pheromones pervade form,
magnetism benign and warm,
pulsating by day and night,
heightening our heart’s delight.

By bliss grazed, concepts erased,
innocence dances unfazed,
time dissolves and so does space;
we behold God, face to face....

“Prince of Peace is born this day,”
Emanating from the sky. 
As the travelers on their way
Cease in awe and wonder why
Exotic Beings from on high

Offer light from shining star.
News is spreading near and far.

Earthbound people stop to stare
At commotion in the air.
Receiving news of the Christ Child
The Virgin birth so undefiled,
Heeding Wisemen hurry there....

A perfect day for sledding – 
Lots of snow, but not too cold.
Though Henry tackled hills, his sister
Wasn’t quite as bold.

So I pulled her sled behind me,
As she laughed, on level ground,
While Henry and his dad (my son)
Were bravely downward-bound.

The kids were beaming, filled with joy,
By heeding winter’s call,
But I’d swear their sledding daddy
Had the most fun of us all....

We can’t see God, so use braille,
scent of bliss marking our trail,
feeling love, gently by touch,
having rested thought flow crutch.

By following bliss beats beep,
soma nectar seeps in deep
and thus heeding God’s love chime,
assured is soul’s upward climb.

Recognising we know not,
we loosen up heart strings taut,
imbibing wisdom by grace,
beholding God, face to face.
