  yearning to cast aside flesh

Upward rise,
Daily highs.
Skyward eyes,
Season's ties.
Crowded skies,
Southern cries,
Northward flies.
Mated prize,
Winter dies.

Releasing floods that still remain

Is it to be just a shrug
A mumbled ‘Whatever’
Eyes rolling upward
Or maybe that spark
With an engaging smile
And a happy ‘Yes’

Singing a glorious song
Casting rainbows upward

Wedding Arbor Word Morph


Winterberries hang overhead
With which arbor hold delightful red.
Wind upward warmth thread; 
Winged fairies wed, fluttered, and fled.

Our Body and Soul

The mind and body
Our souls live inside us
When the body dies
Then our souls leaves
Our souls will soar
Upward to heaven
Ready to be reborn

Again, this lark, as
Far as the eyes can see

Guiding Light

The sun rises East
and it lowers in the West,
moon reflects its light,
plants grow upward to touch it,
still... just one "Light of the World."

Plotting the Path

we each live by
our own version
being but a play
of desire and aversion

we who so seek
a bubble in time
soul in bondage
yearns to upward climb
