Goodbye, Prince Philip
A man who stood steadfast by the woman he loves
... and helped her lead a nation to glory
May your afterlife be a tranquil journey

The evangelist
Appeared beside a chariot
And taught the eunuch.

He preached the gospel
And baptized the believer,
Then was whisked away...

This is a short poem. 
Not a long one like the rest. 
(not haiku)
This is about time, 
and saying a lot in a small space.
Updates to follow.
Be quiet... (calm)

In Bethsada near Galilee
Christ found him saying'Follow me'-
Quickly,Philip sought out a friend,
Inviting him to'come & see'
Thus becoming an apostle-emissary.

Yesterday

We 
that can remember
keep-alive
those that have been forgotten,
in the small room,
the place in our hearts,
where God 
plants the best flowers,
and no tears…
fall....

Oh Philip!

Queen Elizabeth, long may she reign,
Is the Head of substantial terrain.
She married a prince
Whose gaffes make her wince
But life's certainly never mundane!

Longing

Little mermaid on the rock, 
Wishing and wondering, 
What it would be like, 
just to walk?

Little girl in a chair, 
riding around on wheels of air…
Wondering; what it is like… to feel?...

Singing birds emerging.
Pretty flowers are blooming.
Rabbits are hopping.
In spring things start living.
Nests of eggs are cracking.
Gardens are now growing.

925

They are pure silver, 
and have no idea. 
They are humble and kind, 
pray for each other, 
and welcome strangers.

Yet polished or aged, 
vintage of freshly fired, 
the address is the same.

Golgatha’s gravity reversed
When Isaac laughed an Easter verse.

Grief

God gave me an angel, 
a wife, 
a helpmate.
I had no idea the worth of that gift, 
bestowed upon my unworthy life.

Regret has nothing to do 
with the sister of joy.  
Loss is the little brother, 
of the spoiled....

"V"irus now controlling the world.
"I"n every home changes are coming.
"R"un to the store to get what you need.
"U"se peace not fear to escape the stress.
"S"un rises, sun sets with more deaths each day.

Whisper
 
A subtle current,
a fierce expression,
of a gentle feeling, 
wild,
powerful, 
no longer held contained 
by any restraint. 
 
Not weak, as may be expected, 
but the very difference...
between life and death. 

Listen....

Philip is an inchworm, he has neither legs nor feet,
He also has no arms or hands like others on his street.
Phil can't do cartwheels, jump or clap, and rugby's not his forte,
But he's colored like a rainbow, so, who cares if he's not sporty?...

A sunny day for you,
a sunny day for me.
A day to say,
I love you.
A day for you to say,
you love me too.
