Born of Autumn, hair like wheat, honeymoon babe - right on time.
Mom and Dad underneath the limbo pole - winners-on-high.
In descending gondola, my birth had no notion of lovers.
Sparkle of snowflakes against window pane; my reflection.
A copper penny tossed in air; will it freeze, or will bus steal show?
The scent of snow; the kick of flakes; I’m racing my shadow.
Honeysuckle ascent and bees are buzzing; sometimes annoying.
The stingers you want - paired up; besides, I’m a wallflower.
“I remember you,” a confession at a reunion.
Becoming a dark-brunette; in the heat, the length shortened.
Summer fun seventy-seven; Sun In yields red highlights.
Sooner than later a sailor will find seasons of Aloha.
A Haiku Poem
Crossing in between,
Roaring sounds beam light throughout,
Passes just in time.
May 28 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Esther 4-6
Key Verse – Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO GRANTS TIMELY DELIVERANCE
Praise be to God Who grants timely deliverance with His:
Victorious leadership
Valuable lessons
Virtuous liberty
Vital lifting-up
Valiant love
Esther 5:6 Praise be to the Lord
for granting our petitions asked:
Along His Word’s worth
About His work so wondrous
Amidst His wisdom, not worldly
Around His ways of worshipfulness
According to His will against waywardness
Esther 6:3 Praise be to the Saviour
for upholding our integrity:
Delighting in our godly honour and dignity
Desiring our good honesty as well as devotion
Directing our gracious hope along our dedication
Dealing with our guarded holiness and discernment
Defending us while granting us health from distress-despair. Amen!

cherry blossoms dainty pink
flirt and play in April rain
drowsy from late spring fatigue
sleep tight in green grass
you were with her at lourdes
whilst the sun was shining
two worlds became one
light flickers
from the water edge
bread and wine are your sole ambition
trust in vespers
a catalogue of goodliness
A mighty monarch had a dream,
the kind that makes men stir and scream.
In mid-earth grew a large, strong tree,
It was so tall that all could see.
A holy one gave the decree,
to cut down and destroy the tree,
but leave the large stump in the ground,
with bronze and iron fetters bound.
The mighty monarch was the tree,
to whom his subjects bowed the knee.
His Majesty was very great,
But his arrogance sealed his fate.
God had decreed he’d lose his throne,
and live in nature all alone.
His hair like one unkempt will grow,
and nails protrude like those of a crow.
A chastened monarch he would be,
until his folly, he would see.
Like a man who has lost his mind,
he will live like the beastly kind.
The purpose of the harsh decree
was that all on earth may agree,
that God rules the affairs of men,
and decides where men rule, and when.
At the end of his harsh ordeal
the chastened king proclaimed with zeal,
the Most High God exists for real,
Let all on earth before him kneel.
Listen you haughty men and proud,
Who mock this God with voices loud.
One day you too will face His wrath,
because you chose the foolish path.
My Love for the World has always been Really
Really Blossomy
You Look at me and you see a Timely Person
I have lived to see a World garnering for progress
Where Love Conquers even an honourable
Peace
So Let Love Lead in a spectacular manner
And a Unity formed for a Strong Forte.
I once met a gal in the town of Monterey
Though I had to leave, she begged me to stay
Our time together was delightful,
I found her to be quite insightful
To preserve my happy life ... I hurried away.

Yesterday will soon be a distant memory
And tomorrow will soon be long forgotten
Will you remember the things you did just a moment ago?
When will that someday be? When will that someday be?
The golden rule, to any fool
Is not a silly test
To shine the light
Of truth and right
Is worthy of our best
The earth and sky, may signify
The beauty in our soul
The mountain peak
That people seek
Is worthy of our goal
But what if we, are happily
The spirits we renew
The ones who pray
Along the way
For strength in what we do
To magnify, the reason why
We chose a hallowed birth
We must be true
And worthy too
To share a place on Earth
The spoken lie, or alibi
For hurting one another
Will not increase
A goodly peace
Or win a faithful brother
To feed the heart, we must impart
A monumental shift
In how we live
And how we give
The world a timely lift.

In legends of old when just a lad
Country farmers according to dad
Upon one’s head a flat cap
To face the sun crafty chap
Whence to tell one the time deemed the fad.
