I once held you close
marveling at your presence
my wee baby boy...

Moments spent - marveling the cross.
         Masterpiece - our sacrificial boss.

Frolicking in the shallows
Marveling at the sights

unusual color of mushrooms
dainty delicate exquisite violets
I walk through the forest
marveling at God’s handiwork
there is a flash of wings
a raven or hawk
gone, never forgotten...

he walked around them
marveling at reflections
then he jumped in one

As daylight transpires
I peek whilst marveling
If I shall ever procure my stance
Everywhere I may tread
Along the astral patterns
Sagacity reclines
Though eyes may never see
Beyond the facade...

Steady breeze of today
Flips up the edge of my notebook
Maple leaves are sparking with movement
I watch their merry dance
Marveling at their reds, browns and yellows
November is gorgeous...

   Alternately marveling
     and weeping
   at what’s occurred 
     in my country

   An assassin’s bullet
     now a bloodless coup
   in a span of eight days
     ~ a convention too

Intense concentration
Playful muse untethered release
Study missives, marveling at their worth

Challenging word play self

teach me thy ways,
i follow 
you;
the warmth,
changing colors,
everlasting 
	radiance,
I stand in the rays,
marveling the path;
we contemplate
The evening set,
	your fiery dusk
friend, love
	end the day....

Softly
Gently
Let us be warm and friendly.

Curious
But cautious
Happiness is much too precious.

Marveling
Wondering 
What days ahead will bring.

Softly
Gently
Let us be warm and friendly.

september slips in
as asters wave in the breeze . . .
farewell to summer

october’s crisp days
mountains’ gold and crimson blaze . . .
my marveling gaze

november’s wind wails
a lone leaf scuttles away . . .
the fall’s first snow flake...

Mrs. Z, can you?
Yes! She shrieks with delight, not caring what it is.
We need you to….
OKAY! She agrees, wanting to please.
Do you need to….
No, she says, interrupting her boss once again.
The rest of us stare in amazement.
Marveling that she is supposedly a therapist.
Don’t they have to listen?...

Endless days of gray and drizzle
Bumbershoots constantly at the ready
Constantly we pull on our overshoes
And break out once again the slicker

Suddenly and brilliantly the sky appears blue
We peer with shaded and squinted eyes
Marveling at the sheer, elegant beauty
In Washington, spring has finally arrived...

Sweet flower tree whispers hello 
Walking past she interrupted...
 
Glorifying wings of spring on her branches
Marveling her purple paper star shower
Inhaling her peaceful unlocked power 
My spirit has lifted....
 
"Hello, I whisper back, 
"Thanks for interrupting!"






^(How a tree made me feel today)...

I sat in my lawn chair this afternoon
Marveling that the sun changed my mood instantly
I felt joyful that I have time these days to do what I want
When I want
With whom I want
I am grateful for my family and my friends
Glad I have dogs who adore me; as I adore them
Today I realized the little things are the big things...

Pen in hand
Marveling at the night sky
Cosmic beauty
Wafting into every pore

Poetry flows out of an unknown place
Possibly given by another planet
Windy grasses whisper their appreciation
Muse dances a pretty tribute

Moon smiles at the sight
Angels wait, souls sigh.
A poet is writing.
All is well with the world....

Ancient thoughts that robbed my mind
Twin only to celestial time
Idled is how time is seen
oh how lonely time must be
Death has swallowed time erase
get thee thither no time to waste
Endless mirrored time prolonged 
thrushed into timeless beautifully adorned
Mocking recklessly marveling at the chase
Longing for time to take her place...

Fireflies of dust dart through the blue ocean sky past Orion, the Dipper and Mars, 
No cloud in sight, 
A half-crescent smiling on those it shines on and they shine back watching, 
Marveling at the fireworks of nature, 
Hallucinating constellations of ignorance and light-heartedness, 
Watching for the next fly to burn through the atmosphere....

I'm relaxing on
A beach with no sand,
Marveling at an ocean
With no water
Under a sky with no stars

I'm relaxing
In my mind,
Or what's left of it,
I think it likely,
It's just a tiny bit

Of what it once was
Did I, in fact,
Fall from grace?
Insult someway,
The human race?

Oh, who cares,
Let it be,
What matters most,
Is what I
think of me....

Listen to poem:

Wings spread wide,
Birds soar through the sky,
Graceful creatures of flight,
Bringing joy to all who watch,
Aerial ballet.

Chirps and tweets,
Melodies fill the air,
Nature's symphony plays on,
Lifting spirits with each note,
Birdsongs in spring.

Colorful plumes,
A vibrant display,
Beauty in every feather,
Marveling at their splendor,
The joy of birds....

A poem is just a bunch of words.
A flock is just a bunch of birds
And Mensa’s just a bunch of nerds,
Yet that’s just half the story.

For writing them so they will flow
Or watching as they skyward go
Or marveling at all they know
Is what provides the glory.

The rhyme and rhythm worth the read,
The soaring high with steady speed,
Eureka moments that we need 
And all is hunky-dory!...

       Scuba Diving
Heavy SCUBA tanks
As if flying in water
Everywhere blue

  
Dry mouth icky salt
Regulator gets knocked out
Can't breathe in water
  
   
See a shark hiding
Marveling in its stealth
Hope it's not hungry
  
   
Running our of air
Better get to boat fast
Stupid lungs why why?
   
Brightly colored fish
And coral everywhere    
I wish I could stay

You Are Here!

Amid morning stars and waning moon,
Our Savior coos.
‘Neath scent of mhyrr and gold’s glittering,
You sleep, Your tiny arms now resting from their blessings.

Little One, now we are in the light of Your love,
Undeserving, only waiting, glowing,
With earth’s father and mother’s marveling,
Amid morning stars and waning moon,

You are here now born to Save.

December 26....
