Embers
Winter whips through bones
Dispelling comfort and warmth
Yet for all its chill
My heart retains joy profuse
For our love survives untouched...

CONTRARY WAYS



Pun and paradox frame
The extra serving of wit
Ego retains fake name
In surge of lies that fit

Those Distant Stars
See those distant stars? That is what we are, A hologram in which each part Retains an image of the start, Alongside which exists the end, The road to God and art.

Each Memory
The shape of my spirit,
the weight of my soul

To measure the longing
of wishes unsold

Tomorrow the color
of yesterday’s stain

The taste of each memory 
—this moment retains

A Clock Tom Wright 2000 Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Man's invention for measuring that most precious commodity, called time. A commodity which God retains control, while allowing man to determine its use.

When mind and body feel the strain of years,
some hide away, the victims of their fears.

When time grows short and sunset is in view, 
for many, life retains a rosy hue.

A necessary trait for joy-filled life
is optimism, victor over strife.

Premium Member Beautiful Significance
Becoming

"Of Awareness aware.."

An often said goal

Of meditative paths..

But seemingly an

Assumptive separation

Bedrocks a story:

A separate individual 

Achieving said goal..

However~

As a story it retains

Beautiful significance......

Soul
A wide range of a majestic soul wonders
Beneath the tired eyes of a loss soul
The soul throws away the ounce of
Fight, as the body retains the stress
The stress eats away the dignity of those
Who fight, but dignity can't be defined. 
I'm tired, my soul tired too....

Premium Member A Bad Man
The young man was tough
and got his job done.
A heavyweight Champ
at just twenty some.
Most of those men
who gave it a run.
Were flat on the canvas
from a right uppercut.
Iron Mike was a Bad Man
and tough as they come.
A World Champion,
He, Retains the only one....

Premium Member A Fraction of My Sense of Humor
A fraction of my sense of humor 
retains and loves full blown sarcasm mode.
I have to watch it at work.
I deal with children.
They are experts at it.
At home my husband catches my barbs in his glove
Winging them past outfield to hit the fence
So we can remain in love....

Premium Member autumn faerie and her browning wand
Autumn faerie touched her wand to a yellow mum.
The mum’s colors turned crispy and an October brown.
Whether she retains her yellow next year is up to fate.
Some mums do, others do not, I never know which I have.
Autum faerie is aware, fully in the know, she rules October....

Premium Member How Still Is Our Stillness
unless the cogniser of layered stillness 
as subtle intertwined layers drop away ...

unless the cogniser as pristine awareness
vaporises identity thus ceasing to sway ...

the centreless silence retains stuporousness 
limited by duality shifting from night to day

Higher Self, Higher Power
Yes, on the edge of death
I've felt the window of eternity
It wasn't a human personality
But silence and ecstasy 
Too profound for words

Was this a hallucination?
Or this body kicking adrenaline
From the impact
Of the accident

Either way
Life still retains mystery
Plenty of worlds to uncover
For a heart so bold...

Last days of summer Autumn's presence felt The sea retains some heat Hardy souls take the plunge While gulls skim and surf Riding on waves that swell A curious seal watches Alien species enjoying Freedom from the land.

Premium Member SILENT SOULS WANDERING
Today is as quiet 
As a crowded graveyard
Empty of life:-
Yet, the green of nature,
Shines in springing glory:-

As a brief breeze
Warmly passes by,
Silence retains its control
And all remains calm:-

Yes, life’s reality
Has its blissful moments;
Leaving wearying chaos asunder
As God caresses
Silent wandering souls:-

Ever Bright Shining Zenith
G-lowing gleam in the sky
H-as reached the zenith; 
E-ighth November sunny day
M-akes your smile so sweet.

H-ighest degree of light
E-rases the gray shadow; 
R-ays emitted from above
N-ever retains the sorrow.
A-llow the blue lanes to open, 
N-ever let clouds gather underneath; 
D-arkness yields to beacon, 
E-ver bright shining
Z-enith....
