Through autumn leaves a brook pours forth
God's life-sustaining fount of wisdom.

Gathering four elements of life  sustaining the earth,

                    People keep on killing our natural resources,

              Start planting trees to balance the flow of ecosystem....

Parched dried up desert
Allows cactus to grow in lonely spot
Giving life sustaining liquid  

Or Maybe for  true Haiku:

Parched dried desert.
Cactus grows in lonely spot.
Liquid sustenance.

Thank you Raul!!!...

Twinkling stars,
Like fireflies from a jar;
Amid moonbeams,
Shining down from afar;
His tears appear as rain,
Upon parched earth;
His breath a soothing breeze,
At each day's birth;
Life sustaining moisture,
Arrives as morning dew;
Happenings that affirm,
God's love for you.

Romans 5:8 KJV...

Whether or not you were there it would have been the same;

        you would have cast no shadow, you would have had no name;

                                                  if not for her,

                                             your own mother,

           from whose own life-sustaining, love-giving womb you came....

You brought joy to our longing souls

How we cherished thy languid days

Thy bright sun and blooming flora

And thy life-sustaining showers

Yet, thy season was all too brief

Winter storms we foresee with dread

Oh! How we yearn for thy return

My desires 
Thirst for your physical form,

My hunger 
Craves your succulent soul.

Wet lips
Dripping with moist pleasure
As I drink from your refreshing pool
Of liquid passion

My ravenous appetite is subdued
As I feast upon your nourishing essence

Your offerings infuse me
With the life sustaining sustenance

That allows my heart to flourish
And my love for you to grow....

I think of you,
the crimson flower
shining in the blazing sun

My mouth waters
for your delightful kiss,
the taste of your flower

My life desires 
your life-sustaining nectar
running through my body

My soul is enlightened
by your pleasant grace,
the essence of you

My heart churns
for your petals around
raining down, touching me

My world wishes
for you always...
the sweetness of my life....

I begin to sing
just me  
my guitar 
and a song God gave me

From snow above
tributaries of hope
twist and turn
the sun has come to warm
Another season 

Snow melts 
as a sacred offering 
for the vale below
giving
life sustaining water
to reap and sow

Tranquil and serene 
a rainbow arched high
brings anticipation for mother's favorite springtime flowers
as I kneel down
and cry

Stephen Hawking

His legacy is large
as he leaves his 
life-sustaining technology
behind..
He leaves behind also
this quote:
"The greatest enemy of
knowledge is not ignorance,
it is the illusion of knowledge."

Knowledge 
often masquerades
as wholeness
claiming more than
its limited span..
Knowledge as thought
appears in our Self
is made of Self
but cannot know
the infinite Self...

Our Thanks, Stephen Hawking......

Precious, life sustaining oxygen flows
no longer; linking chord tethering me
severed, I lie upon hard cold table.

I see cloudy images--a table
holds my angel mother. Sweet red blood flows
from soft nurturing nest once holding me.

Mommy, don’t discard your babe. Look at me!
Life can be saved. An abortion table
Should not separate with death our love flows.

Love flows away. Save me from this table.
