Between two sunlit glens
A forest dark awaits
With sturdy staff
I'll wend my way
'Till angels call my name

I enjoy my spiritual chats,
Jesus loves me, tit for tat,
Jesus is my spiritual friend,
His light shines, as days do wend....

In a north wind chilled with portent,
Lurch and thunder white-foamed waves
Near this boardwalk stretching empty
Past its surf shops, hushed and idle:
Summer days wend to an end....

To wander through  Yorkshire dales
Or wend in watery wooded Wales
Lean into wind of  lowland moors
Or eagle watch on Highland tors
To find my selves again agrin

We practice what we believe,
else others we deceive-
His lambs to tend
each road we wend,
His sheep to feed
helping every need.
Available for all
who hear His knock or call-
We practice what we believe,
else others we deceive....

MOM
Mom, you are my wonderful friend
Mom, I will do my best for everything you send
Mom, you are always there for me wherever I wend
Mom, I will spend my whole life to love you and to tend

A man and child; this one moment
Does he through it wend.
Spoiled of whose charms, in abundance
A fabulous realm dot.
Castle and church. Misted, moulding.
Shrouded too in legend.
And what evokes, more proudly odd
Each fairy tree and grot....

oh seasons wend to solemn deaths

          so precious are their dying breaths

               no words express the dearest ways

     how much I miss those simpler days.

once winter whispered
we whiled away, wished warmer
winds would wend our way

Softly now do shades of eve draw nigh
cool whispering breezes
herald nightly visitors
as they wend their way 
on a familiar journey 
across a boundless indigo sea
an endless procession
eternally in pursuit of the day
or perhaps
in flight from it...

SOMETHING GOOD SOMEONE SAID


"May your blessings never end."
Said my dearest, oldest friend.
Loving thoughts to him I send,
I hope to him they somehow wend.
It was only something someone said,
"May your blessings never end."
Something good someone said....

Shades of blue, red and bronze
Harlequin hues, sky dons

Swoop, dive, descend, ascend
A blissful drive, birds wend

Over the sea, they dance
Twilight glee, their romance

I see you
I hear you
You beat in my chest

A new life
You give me
Exceptional rest 

A comfort
Just knowing
Your there in the end 

A pathway
Now straightened 
Removing the wend 

Your cooLing
Returns me
From heat of the day 

I missed
You return me
To finding my way

As each day is ending
To our beds our bodies wend,
Balance restoration
Is a necessary end.
Send back the negativity
Restore your inner calm
Regain your stolen energy
Equilibrium your balm.
Break the cycle of toxicity
Crack open wide the sour,
Release your positivity
Let kindness be your power....

I float, I drift, at a slow languid pace,
Content to bob, by love’s river carried,
Fantasies focused on your lovely face,
Immersed in thanks for years we’ve been married;
I eddy, swirl, by your side—in my place—
As one, we wend, in the tide of God’s grace.

Old and new, rich and poor, and
  those of whom you're not quite sure
school and work, and some on the block
  others of whom you oughta take stock

Fair-weather or true-blue
  they've all supported you --
Yet as on your journey you wend
  how many remain your friend...

As for me and my outlook on life
  the one friend I can count on's my wife...

Nestled in the gardens
Down by the sea
The waterfalls and fish ponds
Were a treasure for to see 

Amongst the trees and bushes
And the paths which twist and wend
The caverns, caves and crannies
Greet me like a welcome friend. 

The peacefulness that lies here
‘Tween the benches and the seats
Is a beauty to behold amidst
The bustle of the streets....

At long day’s end, our thoughts may stray
to where we long to wend our way- 
a peaceful place where we dismiss 
all things in life that are amiss,
and none are wont to cause dismay. 

Our footsteps hasten us to this: 
the warmth of hearth, the welcome kiss.
For those less fortunate I pray
a home sweet home they'll find one day....

They wend their way through Sunshine City
Cobblestoned, sloped, and Old World pretty;
And lined with colorful, homes in glad unity,
Streets linked heart to heart, in deep affinity.

Up one crooked path, and down to the river,
As rosy birds sing in green trees that quiver;
And soon arises pearl moon, a glowing sliver,
Making the roads to everywhere a bit clearer....

The world will soon come to its end
And Just like everyone else I will not be able to contend

So I will not pretend

I'm ready to ascend

My life I will transcend

God and heaven I will always defend
It may be hard for some to comprehend
But allow me to wend
Because it is time to make amends
So you too may not be condemned

I follow the track with a spectacular view,
into a wood with its carpet blue.
A winding path to the field below 
through an ancient green lane where primroses grow.
I watch a swallow swoop and pass 
above a meadow lush with grass.
Quench my thirst in dapple shade 
midst waving stalks which seed,then fade.
Homeward I wend in loosestrife knee high 
alongside a stream trickled dry....

OFFICE BOY
the class
   of summer fifty five
left to ply
   their business lives

the office     partners just two
pens   pencils nearly-new

clerking the lowest
                of the low
daily drudgery
  reality soon shone thru'
down the cellar
    my steps did wend
scuttle filled   fires to tend
the 'old man ' yelling
      'ere lad  chop chop
get me baccy
   from t'corner shop...

Ek is 'n gevangene van lewe, die 
vrees
Betekenisvol in asem en slaap,
Nagmerries en drome. Ek waak
Sonder die wete of daar nog is
En ek soek nog. Die jare
Wag voor en verby.
Ek is 'n vergiftiger van lewe, die 
krete
Ingekalwe in my psige en my 
gees,
Nutteloos om aan te pas of 
probeer, ek wend
Geen meer pogings om te 
raadpleeg
En meer te soek, ek kyk
Weg en droom van 'n ander lewe....

Sheer lucid waves caress this oyster beach,
an aqua drowse viewed through a saffron lend,
and siren rip tides coax into a breach
as lambent grains of sand insouciant wend
the dunes of torpid eons through the bend
of hourglasses warped like new-blown glass.
In half-remembered mimes soft breezes send,
behind my eyelids as sweet lilts amass,
the plucking of a lyre string as high seagulls pass.
