Illumine by intent, the central vein ~
Rise to the crown, where grace pours down like rain...

My winter night slowly dying,

My illumine moonlight waning....

Deception of crescent moon
Visions of grandeur

Bright sunshine pieces
Flowing on down the roadway
Illumine the spaces
Yellow beads of perfect light
Brushing my cheeks with great warmth

The finding of oneself 

is the torch one has to light

for

to illumine the path that leads to
 
God's revelation!

For every soul,
A bright star, each night, is lit up in the sky 
   
For

To illumine the way for the departed, as they
Are passing by!

.

The sun still sleeps

as a dark horizon waits

for the 
light of its morning

to illumine its world in beauty,

when I see your eyes open
and realize

mine has arrived first...

dots of gold embers
dancing between starlit sky 
and blackening earth
can I be a torch bearer
to illumine the dark world

CHEER UP


       When I am lone traveler in dark days.
       No body is there to show me light.
       I ignite soul to illumine path
       and just rise above all adversities.

pathway to heaven’s
ultimate celestial journey
with dark beginning

slowly steps illumine 
making travel less fearful
heaven’s own nightlight

god’s empyrean
a secure welcoming sight
with new breath of life

Friday afternoon's shadows
  hover over her morn
Awaiting the Sabbath
  soon to be born

Candlesticks polished
  Pressed tablecloth white
Come, Day of Eternity
  Illumine the night

Light to my soul, heavenly bliss,
If you forgive me Lord
Loving you naught can be amiss,
For penance I afford.

Death seems ever so near
My soul should be all clear
Take me Lord there's no fear.

Let the bells toll,
Light to my soul.

Soul and Mind

    wobbled mind drinks desires demanding, acting possessive, obsessive.
    placid pristine soul flashes ethereal ray to illumine mind.

Getting older 

may be a rewarding experience 

for 

those who the Lord, desperately, 

seek to find

since

with old age the haze of carnal desires 

dissipates
 
thus

letting the spiritual light illumine 

the mind!

Rejuvenated 






All desires washed away 
The azure weeps
To dark night's illumine
Sobs subtle heart
Some reflections of past
Usurp my sleeps
As all life rests tranquil
For a fresh start !

Cool's in the 'tude 
motivates action.
Stuff's stuff and we all have
reactions.

Gifted from birth all humans
we seek sometimes illumine
ache shuns when really
(and this may sound silly)

the light's shinin' down.

Candles in darkness
absence in starkness
let's go swing in the park, yes.
Is good for all us....

Shooting star blazing across 
the night sky of my life mortal
that rare event
only glimpsed
yet I see with my eye portal.
As thy radian beams
illumine my heart
I can’t help but think
this is only a start.
When thou landest on earth
I will search thee out and
draw night unto you.
Then shall my heart 
be filled with mirth....

Lenient light beings
Persistently beside one
Aware and secure

Acquaint themselves once
Nevermore in physical
But still their warmth counts

Coeval as I am
Complexities become plain
Chosen among few

Descend with desire
Defy death a countless times
Illumine spirit

Linger up below
Feeling within and beyond
Omnipresent glow...

S- Sport of moving on skis as a recreation
K- Kind of Nordic and Alpine in race motion
I- Illumine the action of roving over snow
I- Ignite the fire of adventure in racer’s vow
N- Now it’s a popular game in wintry countries
G-Gladly come to play to live with elated peace
