There once was a king who told lies,
like a moth chasing gaslight they rise,
ever drawn to the flame,
unaffected by shame,
true democracy labors and sighs.

In the un-engraven word
Muddling tensions persist.
Joy labors not,
But joy can be found through labor.
The grays are shining at night.
The grays are shining at night.

Ah, but there is hope - put a cork in volcanoes - analyze the rest

to move onward,
And the golden dawn appeared as the bright
sun rose into daylight;
Blessed to be perpendicular, to labors of love,
I moved onward:-

beauty in motion
wild horses roaming freely
galloping across the plains
not meant to saddle
for mans’ labors or pleasures
nor whispers of promises
man cannot fulfill
the call of the wild
like a shout from the heavens

say a lot.
Sometimes it’s just a
little thing brings a smile.
Other times can be
divine takes more time.
Our Labors in Love.
Our Love with God.
Our God in Life.
Our life in eternity.

Rosebud so compressed
impatiently, your fullness
labors to unfold . . .
How short the ripened glory
before your tired petals fall.

May memories of our time together
last longer than the flowers' bloom.
May the labors of our work together
last far beyond our destined tomb.
May stories of our lives together
weave well onto Heaven's Loom.

Death need not be feared,
it’s in the nature of life:
seasons come and go:-
Seek a saintly life,
from your spring to your autumn;
always in God’s grace:-
In labors of love,
be in nature’s healing grace:
seeking saintly death:-

Labor and perform your duties as you patiently wait
to enter that Divine , Heavenly, and Pearly Gate.
Continually be clothed in your Spiritual Armor,
knowing that Satan is tricky and quite a charmer!

Hercules
Hero mortal of Greek Mythology
Hera his mother jealous of him
Had left him in the woods to expire
Hidden and fed from Minerva’s nipple
He is imbued with strength
Hence “The Strongest of all Gods”
His twelve labors a penance fulfilled

Gentle tempest blows
Lapping waves crest
Sand flows from the sloping shore
Pray thee content in thine slumber
Protest not morning-stars resolute gaze
See now tempest sated
Rest now your labors complete.

I surrender sorrow
welcoming the grief
of your touch
my heart beats erratic
breath labors aching sides
and yet discomfort
is intoxicating
in simplicity
too incredible to deny
let eyes swell
burst in reverence
there is no shame
to shed a tear

I hope it gains for me a kiss
or some other kindliest bliss;
for labors done with poetry,
a reward for word chivalry.
Coins not needed for the lines,
that’s not what an old heart pines;
some say there is another reason,
to seek again a magic season.

It is very strong I presume
I see it at work self motivated
Carrying elephants on the head
Yet it is just a nymph creature
It is very strong I can believe
I see it happily lost in its work
When I ask why such it labors so
It tells me, “life is a mystery”

Lights in windows come alive
Children go indoors for supper
Shadows stretch, sun slowly hides
Birds are winging home
Labors called inside
And the dark side of our valley welcomes the evening star
