Has anyone
ever imagined
the pigeons
call and answer
at dusk
as like orchestrating
God's Holy Rosary
before the flock
retires for the night....

Cascading rocks, orchestrating
The banging, booming beats
Of my broken heart
Violins become tortured echoes
Through gaps between sleep
As darkness falls
It all falls
Comes down upon me....

Of choirs so richly graced,
Or melodies endowed,
Other strains of new joys,
Oboe sounds so vibrate,
Oft played in symphonies. 
Orchestrating music
Once heard, not forgotten.

Pacific Ocean is fiercely melodic and turquoise tonight
Her waves flowing as a ribbon, like a musical score
I stare into the horizon, seeing full moon work her magic
She is the conductor, orchestrating the tempo of the sea...

Music is playing in my house
And my heart today. 
 
I’m singing along with it; 
Embracing the high notes 
And low notes 
In happy harmony:
 
Directed by the most high, 
Who is orchestrating 
The entire Symphony of my life....

 Nothing stays the same, fragrant flowers fade, 
cloaked in shame, am I to take the blame? 
when rainbows abandon colors,
twisting pristine purple into pale grey vapor. 
Masks eventually slip and cards of lies unfold~
reversed angels, orchestrating cruel charades.

As the lowering sun
Keeps the earth's 
Night at bay
They say
Make hay
Whilst the 
Sunshines. 
As the sun
Disappears
It displays arrays
Orchestrating 
Colorful sprays
Magnificently 
Closing the day...
The stage is set for
Final curtain calls
The credits roll,
We breath in
Exhaling praises to
The Supreme Director!...

a million years ago
yet seems like yesterday
memories of a winter cabin
on fresh snowy sundays
dad orchestrating
heavenly aromas
of coffee percolating
and toast on wood stove

Glaring shadows orchestrating the shape 
Of searching for the rainbows sparkling end 
So yellow beyond the airy dreamscape
The raspy wind with a howling ascend 
Looking intently at the wide sky gape

The mountains worshiping from blue yonder 
Celest rainbows born of peeping sunshine 
Beyond the reach, betraying no wonder
Through veil of another sparkling design
With eyes of shadowy, landscape ponder...

We Walk Together  Hand and Hand

Tightly Holding each other's Heart
 
For what We Loved

Was a crafty Illusionist 
Orchestrating arrogant notes 

The Lords Lampposts are Endearing 

Angels that Lead Our Course

Appearing Unexpectedly 

Walking with Us till we regain Our footing

 Lifted We Carry On
 
Forgiveness is the Lords Gift

Peace for All.....is this Families Pray......

Thank You Lord...

I can't promise this union will be easy
I will say God intended it to be treasured
Our love evolved without knowing how
We love each other because there's no other way
Our love is a symbol of eternity

You are the icing on my cupcake
The smile in my heart
The song in my soul orchestrating the melodies that shall forever solidify this union
I love you not for who you are but for who we are when together
Our love is a symbol of eternity...

Say something;
your silence scars my skin,
shatters my soul,
strains my skull,
stretches out my suffering and 
snowballs my syndrome.

Out loud;
your opinion is not obvious,
openness not optional,
obligation not obsolete,
only your opposition to the occasion is
orchestrating this onslaught.

Speak;
I scream and shout,
shriek and screech,
sob and solicit,
still, you stay shut-off and silent and
strike me speechless, too....

Dilettante photographer
You have the eyes of your mother
A tigress A hunter
Seeking beauty in its lair
Be it fleeting transient
Chasing rainbow variables
Seizing its essence
Capturing its soul
Dragging home the trophies
Orchestrating your sanctuary
Your mosaic of riches
Your inner sanctum
Making it your own

Something emerging from
Your system like a serene 
Melodious sound.....
Something reaching me
Strongly and captivating my
Body and soul wholeheartedly.
Something orchestrating the most
Pleasant melodies,
Leaving me with happiness 
And urging me to do more.
Something like a melody,
Reaching my everywhere
And blending my thoughts 
Like the words of my mother....
Something like a melody
Only you can give,
Something like a melody
Only you knows....

She walks like a traveller in her home 
a once familiar thing, lost to her
And bright-eyed watches the same night sky 
that demonstrates new things to her,
orchestrating new patterns for her in the stars to find 
and paving beams of light across leaves 
that were strewn for her
by the dawn wind slaking the limbs of her own trees
for whatever thing lost that still is,
She searches the dust from her own feet 
that she's brought from another land in a dream...

I walk the Sunday streets once more
Long before the peal of church bells
Tuned to summon the hypocrites
From their cozy residences.
It will be awhile till they flock
En masse to the numinous house:
The butcher whose scale is slightly
Off in his favor; the lawyer
Whose soul was sold ages ago;
The car salesperson cramming cars;
Physicians unmindful of the poor
And an overweight clergyman
Orchestrating the proceedings.
Bong! Bong! Soon the parade begins....

"No Contest"

He’s a loser
that’s for sure
orchestrating
a contest
holds a mirror
up to himself

he’s a loser 
that’s for sure
the heart explodes
shrapnel hitting 
the dorsel 
fins 

I segue 
that is my way
I segue

I think 
for a while 
how do sharks
make babies?
It’s useless 
wondering why

and I walk away
from it all
and I,

I,
segue. 
I walk 
into the Ocean 
and I 
wonder why.
