The Appeal of the Sea

“THE APPEAL of the SEA”  ©
                The troubled torrents upon the beach pour
                        Constantly claiming the sands of the shore
                Vexed for good reason with purpose assured
                        Pounding and thrashing some threats are here stored
                 Restless in action and heady with need
                        Racing so often much creatures to feed
                 Dashing & splashing inciting some fear
                        Meanwhile inviting to those with more dare
                 Roaming all over companion the sky
                        Giving all color no matter how high
                 Crashing & churning with consummate ease
                        All as if playing or perhaps in tease
                 Shifting & prancing is just to get back
                        Sustaining the life with all it may lack
                 All finding succor in shallow & deep
                        Determined by nature each one to so keep
                  Ebbing and flowing is one & the same
                        Feeding all nations in His Holy name
                  Moving forever as if in a dance
                        Honoring nature not merely by chance
                   Shimmering often pervasive in sleep
                        Still holding your stare while yet dancing deep
                   Embracing rivers regardless of state
                        Where else could they go before it’s too late
                   They too conspire to dump more than silt
                        Aided by humans who bear the most guilt
                   Were it to be steady as lying in bay
                        Then all would be lost to rot & decay
                    Not only its tantrums will it best be known
                         But giving with pleasure for life to be sewn
                    We should be caring for both land & sea
                         Long taken for granted by both you & me

Time

“ UNSUPPORTED CODE ” ©
Now it’s about time for all to be known
What’s always been there are facts to be shown
Eternal at last it embraces all
And with composure it stands by on call
Time is the measure of all things bourn
Creating a past & a future unknown
Always allowing for all things to grow
Giving good reason for us to all know
Season through season through thick & through thin
Time is permissive so accommodating 
Given the choice you have to admire
Time has the answers for all to transpire
Free of all worry step into the now
Now known of the past is even the how
So given more time I’m daring to think
We’ll know what’s of worth & what is just fink
Time is the healer doctor & cure
Same for the wholesome as the ragged & poor
Outlasting each thing it makes its own rules
Constructing this world all with its own tools
Time is eternal & moving with pace
Given a moment it makes its own space
Time is forgiving of all the things wrong
All of the evils forgotten so long
While going forward it teaches us right
How to make better each day & each night
If to be honest everything’s to last
Then time is the future present & past
Mild in its manner instructive & fair
If only we’d listened we’d have had to hear
As time & again what’s surely in place
Is all who are here are in the ‘rat-race’.

Butterflies

“ UNSUPPORTED CODE “ ©
                   Butterflies  with  purpose
                                  Chrysalis  on  the  wings
                   Steadfast  in  their  focus
                                  As  if  remembering
                   All  flowers  in  each  garden
                                  Each  petal  opening
                   Velvet-gloried  colors
                                  In  quiet  chorus  sing
                   Flirting  synced  awaiting
                                  Euphony  all  within.

Mid-East Turmoil

MID-EAST TURMOIL 
Infused with uncertainty
Now spreading thoughts of own
Makes for the ignorance
Which is today well known
Leaving posterity
The senseless seeds thus sewn
Unleashed ugly anger
Shows all that you have learned
Your fossilized doctrines
No place in hearts have earned
Repulsion now garnered
No stone’ll be left unturned
