The Quintessential Poet Queen For Elizabeth Wesley

A lady who once touched my mind 
in ways I could not decorously describe,
because she did so from afar
through her thoughts and words that shined like stars.

She wrote of love and hate and war
of mysterious mermaids and opening doors,  
to moonlight magic and midnight rides
and of winter snow and birds that fly.  

She

Cousin Wesley and Weird Aunt Edna

I am terrified I will die, Wesley said. It is raining.
Rain does not usually kill people, I replied.
But lightning can, and thunder is scary.
Lightning has never hit me, I replied.
It will probably get me, he said. His teeth were shaking.
He had been raised by a worst-scenario activist.
Everything she says usually includes the worst possibility imaginable.
She

Sussanah Wesley's Apron

Susannah Wesley’s Apron


      No pilgrimage to Israel;
      No cloistered cell;
      No holy retreat.
      Not with ten tumbling children
      rumbling through the house.

      Despite the chaos

Towards Thee Hymn

“My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee" 
-Charles Wesley (Amazing grace)


Divine light beckons towards thee,
though darkness blinds, wind howls a cry,
I hear no voice but you call me,
Christ, pray be my strength, be my guide!

Tredge my way anew to be free,
earth trembles wrecked by woeful sins,
walk towards thee

      the angels  sing
                              
of
love
        divine

For Wesley

Marvellously musical, 
     dazzlingly creative,   
          meditative sage.

We found explanation,
          imagination, 
     revelation, 
collaboration.

Within weeks work expanded

For One Lass of Wesley Name

For one Lass of Wesley name...

'Twas Amazing this she said...
Of mindplay... thus so she'll say.
Yet tenacity was indeed her game...
This lass of Wesley fame.

As sail'd she did... down SeaWolf's sodden track...
T'ward those rhythms of our mind...
Thus so oft she'd say... her very-own right back...
True wonder 'twould be our find.

Oh... as words of praise meown heart

Love Like No Other For Elizabeth Wesley

Smoke bellowed out the top
Of the trawler’s ships
As the merciless hunters loaded
Their harpoons with exploding tips

“There she blows,” a sailor shouted 
It was a female whale that surfaced and spouted
The engines roared in hot pursuit
The Captain aiming ready to shoot
He shoots, it explodes, making a hole in her fin
She gasps her last breath as she
