Short Meadowlarks Poems

in my beautiful dream -

enwrapped by green tranquility -

I am kissing your tender lips

beneath the bluest sky

as meadowlarks serenade us

meadow grass swaying
as larks serenade their mates. . .
wind softly sighing

Haiku - oh so beautiful


meadowlarks singing
autumn breezes harmonize...
nature’s symphony

Along our path, I've scattered seeds around,
so when the songs of meadowlarks resound,
sweet violets will soon spring from the ground.

As if inside a dream, we'll softly tread
along that path now blossom-carpeted
and make sweet love on a violet bed.

High on a hillside,
in the middle 
of the marigolds 
and the meadowlarks,
 I sit, stilling my soul.
my fingers feel God's 
cool, green grass.

I press my fingers 
down into the soft, 
moist earth.
The palm of my hand
starts to throb.
As if I am 
touching
the heartbeat 
of God....

A FAMILY OF BIRDS PRAYING TO GOD

Something flowing through my ears
I'm listening
Birds churchgoing-melodies
Whispering
Meadowlarks after dark
Nesting in the trees
Robins and sparrows hiding behind leaves
Must be
A family of birds praying to God

Eloquent streaming waters
Aqua Pearl ripples covers
As the wind kisses so mutters
Erodes embankment covers

Meadowlarks and Honeybees
Springs essence so surrounds me
On breezes through the lee's
Nature soul callings be

Awaiting your smile

A dark and gloomy morning
sits outside my window
as my horizon awaits your smile,
so another wonderful
spring day can begin
where meadowlarks sing
dawning cantatas
and morning glories
open their azure eyes
seeking the perfect beauty
that I do…you

Good morning Soupers...

Who's you
I come across the Shadows
I look Beyond the walls
Voices howling in the dark
Walking from The Gallows
Who's you
Sounds of Mystic bouncing balls
Insects crawl being eaten by meadowlarks
Heart to be heard
I'm so sorry
No longer crying in the dark
No longer surprised in awe
Beyond doubts what's this what's that
Who's You

A Composition of Love  

Strings so tuned in harmony,
the music that we hear
Sweet within our open hearts, 
symphonic and so clear

The happy sunrise brightly sings
a duet with the dawn
As hummingbirds and meadowlarks
join in to sing along

Instrumental wishes float
 in dreams that we shall play
Melodies of perfect love
composed this springtime day 

Good morning Soupers...

New day dawn palms up 
After the dark
Bird's praising God sparrows, robin's and meadowlarks 
Early spring new day air 
Whispers In my ear

Selah 
For His purpose Glory Hallelujah

Things change 
Things change 
In abundance for abundance 
Radiant 
Things change 
Things change 

All new, renewed 
In Jesus name 
Things change

Good morning, good morning

The early sun rises,
fresh dew on the ground
Shimmering droplets
the lawn can be found

Meadowlarks singing
their happiest tune
Bidding farewell
to a now setting moon

Butterflies flutter
so free on the air
Petal to petal
their beauty to share

Daffodils smile
as if now to say
Good morning, good morning,
please come greet the day

Good morning Soupers...

Because you are mine

The sun rises slowly
a soft April glow
In peach cobbler ribbons
this morning to show

A new day is coming
so warm on the wind
Sweet rose petal whispers
to tell once again

Each dawn brings a vision
of beauty to see
and meadowlarks singing
in love’s melody

With dew drops a glisten
in cut crystal shine
Each morning is perfect
because you are mine

Good morning Soupers...

Paved over deep,
  my thoughts below

Once brilliant shades
  of amber glow

The darkest light,
  I now befriend

Whose darkest thoughts,
  I sought to end

While further down,
  the chanting starts

No mockingbirds,
  no meadowlarks

Where stillness reigns,
  the present weeps

My ashes cool,
  my soul retreats

Lodged six feet under
  below the crowd

Though sleep eternal
   —no dreams allowed
