Short Refines Poems

a 
 novel
      loiters
then
refines
becomes
       precise
       in
       outline
so
delicate
      yet sharp
in the
retentative
        ether
        of
        bygone
hours...

inspiration burns
turns a spark
from the tinder
     of imagination
into a flame..
          a flame
that gathers up
          experience
burnishes and
             refines
a nugget of emotion
into an image, then
crystallize as a phrase
to become
      a spoken word,
a voice
from
the seeing eye...

As I stand alone 
     in reverie
A lavender sky 
     envelopes me.
Trees whisper in calls 
     with quiet breath
To mark the time 
     of indigo's death.

The crisp scent of spring 
     refines the air
As dawn graces twilight 
     with colors rare.
Still lake reflections 
     in morning light
Share an aura 
     with alluring sight....

WINDOW PEACE

Bird darts
Behind the blankets and the sheets
Crushed hearts
Tear holes in lives that once were neat
Day shines
On grieving heads too sad to lift
Refines
Life that adapts to steely gifts
Moon glows
To ease eyes on a broken place
And
     I’m told
            My endless peace rests in your face

Friend's on Soup
Is hard to choose
Snowflakes in palms
Both wit and charms
When their ardor melt
Not by them tho' I felt
Twas anew has appeared
Makes it quite clear
That the facts remain
Friends aren't the same
For here at Soup
We are a group
Individually unique
Usual flaws complete
What defines us
Refines us
I'm blessed
Like the rest.

The world spins
Energy refines
Time is dreamed
As symbols rehatch their life course

Come out with clear intentions
Crystal water shimmering
The life inside defies 
All explanation, investigation

Integration is the journey
As the keys to your heart
Represent the highest art
Your mind sings into creation

As you contemplate deeply'
Transformation your love
Into the blessed boat of existence...

a pride of lines
a line of pride
the words you write
the road you ride

   reflections on a pomegranate
music from another planet
   ripples on the stream of time
letters written in your rhyme

   lines on lines
you wrote and said
   spoken,written,
in your head

   measure me 
a pride of lines
that your faith in me refines
bring me back a souvenir
 
  of our love,
     I love you dear....

The thoughts we entertain when we’re alone
mostly greed of what we seek to acquire,
which ego refines, attempting to hone,
doomed to self-destruct in destiny’s fire,
for our fears shroud each object we aspire.
Thus, oh weary hermit, choose cessation,
choosing deep peace by heart’s resonation,
negating all cravings that are transient,
at all times in joyous celebration,
ensconced thus in the vibrant bliss current.

hard work never kill

Hard work never kills
But wrong work does

Hard work never with ease
With wisdom it appeals

Hard work eases tomorrow
Wrong work weakens tomorrow

Hard work lays foundation for vision
Wrong work delays preparation for vision

Hard work refines energy
Wrong work increases agony

Hard work an eagle that soars
Wrong work an ostrich that tends to fly
