Mother Nature traverses the planet.
In a darkened tub we hug and kiss.
Opposite poles -- attracting magnet.
There is none in the world but bliss....

I can still envision it ---
It appeared like a single strand of pure silver ---
Radiant as a quasar ---
This perfected demostration of nature ---
As the wind swayed it to and fro ---
A tiny occupent ---
The manufacturer ---
Traverses it's length ---
As the sun's rays bleach it's fabric....

heralds o’er a Babe ~
a star appears like the sun
stamped in the night sky


a cold winter’s eve
traverses shepherds and kings ~
in Dayspring’s shadow


father and mother
chosen by heaven above
cradle God’s own son

Soul stains red







Red
rides high
on
temper
as denied
birth rights
to
females
stay rampant,
Blazing crimson
traverses 
through my
veins,
tender
emotions
bleed fast,
stain 
till soul's
depth.

To understand the mystery 
Is to overstand the jury
For pain traverses the sane
While they diverse through the insane
Real and proper
No steel and copper
Their love is for money
Not harmony
We believe in a being
Yet our souls are like spring
They wind each day
Easy to waylay
Yet we claim we shall overcome
But we dont know how far we've come
For us pretty,
It's a pity...

The ABC’s of Grudges
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Argument begets contentious disagreements.
Endlessness forever grinds.  Harrowing.
Illusion, joyfully keeps laughter minced.
Nonetheless, ominous paltry quarrels revile.
Scorn traverses unquenched.
Victory's wailing xenagogue- (guide)
Yesterday zaniness.


(Simple solutions:  Love one another and forgive as God will forgive us… or not.)...

What if you were the only one that believed in something;
And the world as mad gunk has you sliding into unintended traverses.
You find love before it has begun!
This solarized released, this rippling and broadening gulf...
The wings of cautious believers rise only slowly...
Tomorrow is another day,
Yes, though you have discovered
Tomorrow as today,
In the rich infinitum 
Of love's fresh boast....

Mother's ears





No words,
No voice,
But she still can hear,
Sensitive mother's ears !

My thoughts,
My emotions,
Even those I hide,
She can hear, no surprise,

A sentiment,
A heart,
Far beyond the unsaid,
She can perceive all threat,

A telepathy,
Blood to blood,
Traverses heart to heart,
Mother's ears are far beyond smart !

Crystalline waters


Spring of life,
Traverses newer paths,
Trace the flow of crystalline waters,

Waterfall,
inspires to meditate,
Serenity is immediate,

Stand at shore,
waters buzzing galore,
Furore engulfs agonising throes,

Sets new rhythm,
Tunes the heart beat perfect,
Thoughts flow constant to soulful enthral !

Upon fine steed, this knight defined
By sword and armor, prepared to fight
One hand on reigns and so inclined
That if it’s needed, he’ll then pull tight

So off to battle, he rides on forth
His heart is big, protected strong
He wavers not from destined course
For with his people, he so belongs

This knight, this night, traverses well
So gallant, proud, faithful, true
To come back soon with tales to tell
But for now, he bids adieu...

This is not goodbye, we will meet again,
There's a reason you were my brother, 
There's a reason we were best friends, 
This love traverses time, 
It pulled us closer from the start, 
I feel your warmth with every beat of my heart. 
I knew who you were, 
The moment we touched eyes, 
You were my world, 
So yes, I was destroyed when you died, 
But though these tears do fall,
From forest eyes to snowy skin,
I know this is not goodbye, we will meet again....

Caves





truth as tiny drops of water
hangs onto roofs,
waiting to nurture thoughts
creeping on dark floors,
Strange mind caves...
till flash of bright sunlight 
traverses through,
for negativity to vanish 
and sets dormant ideas aglow,
Strange mind caves ...

Naked pure newborn Eden, unashamed
                Soles step intrepid on spongy moss 
                Quadrant of tropical dapple claimed 
                Fruits in Winterless heart's emboss 


    Limbs mingle, indulged by marquee manuevres 
           Ponder labyrinth piths without hindrance
    Sultry poetry compiled among canopy soothing 
            Canoe traverses untold as fingerprints

 Light dims from fever of day …

      bare as skin of fireflies’ touch

         skating among petals strewn

            from a  breeze that wafts fragrance  of stillness  ~


Gazing at last tints of night
 
   where stroll  of life traverses

      an inner odyssey, hushed…

         until  all creation binds

            oneness of soil’s center, taming senses
                 
         ~

A constant thought that enchants,
Is you.
An intense ache in my heart,
Is you.
Deep red that flows in my veins,
Is you.
An impulse that traverses down my nerves,
Is you.
A touch percieved as with closed eyes,
Is you.

I can hear your footsteps approach close to me,
But as I open my eyes, I find ,
It's only me and my loneliness !!

The birth of life marks a magnificent miracle

Womb opens to bestow a new life into being

Unison of love and a symbol of divine blessing

Seeking salvation, soul traverses cosmic cycle

Unliberated, within this wheel it keeps revolving

Spiral of birth n' death abiding Supreme command 

Who? When? He decides n' it's the rule of pinnacle

Tracks all our past deeds n' re- birth He keeps
                                                                            assigning!...
