Music
forgotten now;
As soon as you were gone

Thought of the day

as quirks of fate we did endure 
we paused because we were unsure
but then seeing God dwells within
knew that love is the only cure...

The Walk Home

We paused in the shade
Of the cool, green, cedar tree
Ties flapping in wind
Satchels hung like saddlebags
We raced home like wild horses...

The Beggar

an invisible weight on his back
his provisions all in a sack
  Had he ever paused
  to sing a song
as he made his rounds begging life long...

My Choice Vvv

GRIEF a VVV poem

    paused    silence
     unsaid    words,
cadenced    sounds
    remain     for
        ever     in
         our      tears...

Kwek-Kwek

Boiled eggs colored in yellow
Or orange dipped low
Soaked in vinegar or sauce
Flour added, not paused.
Served so hot, it fumes.
Delicious 
Woooooooo!...

Summer Takes a Tea Break

Torching of air paused
                                      Summer takes sips of mint tea

Spring Stirs

Pent-up hearts release longing sighs
   Winter's paused to reveal blue skies
Spring stirs for a moment, then wonders
   When snowfalls will tear her asunder...

Here Comes the Pitch

Silence -- bases loaded,
Base-runners paused, mid-pose'
Caps set, brows of sweat.
  Almost ready now.  Here comes:
  Pitch, Swing, Home Run, Cheer -- We Won!...

Locked In

Turned head;
Forever paused;
Locked in one direction.
Cannot take my eyes, heart, and head
of you.

Why Ufos Don'T Linger

A UFO from outer space
Paused to observe the human race
They all want cash
But live in trash
So mark our maps, "Forget This Place"!...

Ghost Words

Words are old
Meanings paused unfold.
Sounds turned dead quiet .
Darkenss killed all light .
Left nothing to be seen.
Just Ghost words that don't mean.

Silence--From Light Cards Series

In the Silence
all is still...even
the breath of Time
paused over
the lips of Eternity

Now I know
the meaning
of a Word-drop

and ripple voice
of Eternal Sea.......

Silence

The wrinkles of the rug cast sunlight on a pug
Who splayed out her hind legs backwards

And as I left, I looked back and paused
As her face fell silently
Onto 
her paws.

Unification

outstretched, her moan paused
tighter her shapes in capture
silken ropes more taught
excitement arises I
unification now met

African Kingfisher

I painted a new bird today
neon pink, flashy blue, marigold yellow
long sharp pumpkin colored beak
God paused and laughed.
His angels grinned.
Best mood ever! 
Heaven rejoiced....
