Producing awesome power
An infertile wasteland

Full of delectable fruit
Birds housed in abundance

True Love
A rainbow shines
We marvel
We are impressed
Its beauty is awesome
and so clear

There once was a man from L.A.,
who had grown used to sunny days,
moved to the northeast,
barely lasted a week,
January chased him away....

Fleeting things are like leaves in autumn
Spiraling in the uncertain breeze
Then to be gathered and burnt

Love is a challenge 
At best of times
But if our hearts be true
Love like water will find 
Its true depths in you.

I am trying to learn Haiku form - is this haiku?



Crow patiently waits 

Poised on a dry brittle twig

Death is not silent

I walked into my darkened room
Looking for a pen
I couldn't see one
So I put the light on
And presto I found my pen
Light is wonderful
It reveals

From the blue, blue sky
a feather turns on the breeze
Flightless memories

Turning down the sheets
I sink into feathered bed
On downy swan clouds

A large green grootslang with giant tusks
shook down a bunch of red and yellow mollusks
hunted them down
Northeast of Gerogetown
Scaring sweet corn off of their stalks and husks...

The thunder makes way for 
the lightning
As does the caterpillar make way
For the Butterfly
So too do I make way for 
The changes of 
Christ in me

I went to the beach 
For my vitamin sea
To drink in the zing 
Of an orange setting sun  
As it spritzed liquid gold
Onto zesty shimmering sand

To the rhythm of Spanish castanets 
The tempestuous autumn wind
beat the mosaic of colorful leaves
into a twirling, swirling flamenco dance

A relentless wind 
Blows across arctic ice
So is the soul 
Void of fruit
Sunshine and love

Winter’s arms are bare
in reserved anticipation
Spring waits longingly

He stroked my hair
I yielded my heart
Into Him

His eyes opened doors
Inside me
I thought were closed

My longing is filled
With His divine love
I am set free

Through rose colored glasses
I see your faults
Your lies
But I vowed it all 
When I came to your bed
Even if the thorns scratch
The rose still offers me 
Besides my pain
A sweet aroma
My love for you

Jasmine flower yellow white
Ever fragrant, ever bright
Never cease to leave in awe
Natural beauty, to me draw
Incline your smile towards the lake
Face northeast and I will take
Each wink you give with accompanying "go!"
Right into my heart and on them row...

The wind picks up the feathers
of the fallen bird
And carries it where it wills

It picks up the fallen leaves 
Of autumn colors and carries them
Where it wills

The gentle breeze wraps around me 
And whispers, you are mine my love
I am with you always

Of
Divine 
Glory
Pure and Holy
Born 
From above
Child 
Of God
Born 
Of a virgin
Born 
As man
You 
Alone
Bore 
All sorrow
Wiped away
All 
Sin stain
Then gave us –
Your 
Holy Name
The 
SON
Has
 RISEN
And 
Sheds 
His light 
For 
All 
To see
The 
Breaking Dawn

Wrap me up in your words
Float me like a feather
Seal me like a burning torch
Hot and pure refined like silver
Shining clear as crystal
Ringing out heavenly sounds 
Stealing me with inner strength
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made
In Your image- Lord.
