Look,exquisite white blossom,
bathing in the sun-
the scents of Spring,cross my path,
a magnolia blossoms
a sunlit bouquet

Edible

The rough scratch
It caresses
Me like a drug 
caresses a brain
The dark oak stands above
The bark is the best part
Edible.

Stock-still statues
  Bucolic totem-poles
    Munching fly-swatters 
      Lazily grazing ... 

Invisible to driverless cars

We all die

Indirectly

Wit and Wisdom

in as much as men are made like God
there is one unforgivable sin
and that is eating the fruit
of the knowledge of good and evil

Daybreak,
eyelids open
creating a playground,
filled with an endless enchantment,
rebirth.

trees reach
to the sky-
and old dramas
die

Around the corner,
Days of grey
Drab winter gloom-

Warm,sunfilled and set so fair;

Sounding Right

sounding right
                        let the sound tear the solid sky apart
         the message shall be realized in the limpid awakening

Revelation

Revelation is a sigh
    In rotation
         And in time
   In this I do,
        In rebalance
   Of He,
   Fore thou Art
The Holy One

From a Distance

Waterfalls cascade down mountaintops
Huddling stones gathering fine crop
A pastoral  reel where man can't drop
Just watching the view from eye's knobs

Today

I'm awake, I'm OK
It's the start of another day
Will today be better than yesterday?
I'll work on it,
With the help of my Lord....Amen, my friends.

Wit and Wisdom

scientist need to come
out of the closet
and confess they believe
intelegent design but
the science room is a room
we must keep God locked 
out of.

Perceptions

Reverence is the
Omni potent of all evil
Yet, it is transient
Unless,
It be deeply steeped
In the truth,
Its' foundation is brandished
By the Lord

Cuckoos and quails
In this pastoral tale,
Nature comes alive
To a symphony of five
Titled movements..so well contrived

Tribute to Beethoven's Symphony No 6

From Other Side

She said
She'd rather die
And yet she's here
By haven’s claim
Or hell’s devine
As always – vain
And ready to outcry
Committed sins
To be once more - a saint

Premium Member A Haiku Moment

No breeze tonight
Trees pose statuesque
Flowers icily still
Time slows to a stop
Grasses stand to attention's call
Thought holds on pause
Air has that feel of fall

True Compass

The truth encompass
A university and a idea
that which should be
Suffered to the saintnesity
Of God and explicated as a
Meaningful prevarication'
Of His love

Betwixt
and between-
twilight to night,
dawning,until morning
awakes,
summer
to Autumn,
Winter to spring-
our past joys and future
delights

Worldly Desire

If man had both
No Spirit and no Soul
Then mankind would
Be all the same
        - Fore -
The Lord does' not
      Take order's
He merely answer
     Prayer
