In Celebration of BIRTH...

JOY to Place

Joy to Place

an orchestration within there BE

all that is experienced by a YOU, a ME

resounding be our pulsing heart

from which life shall not depart

a rhythmic signaling from chambers divine

the inner calling to SELF yours, SELF mine

in ways of care and understanding shown

alchemic and golden our hearts be known

and when in accord with love and grace

within our BEING, ’tis JOY to place.

Palettes Divine

Shadows Cast Gold

Golden Crowned Kinglet

a morning sky, shadows cast gold

a sighted bird, a tale to be told

colors gray and golden yellow be the sky

so too, a bird before me does fly

could this winged creation with colors gray

be my muse anew this rising day

smile I, when entertained be this thought

by the pleasure sighting this bird has brought

a poet, an artist, amused I choose to be

by palettes divine gifted onto me.

Rustling Leaves

rains in libation sweet yesternight

upon awakening all held in morning light

magical be the light and shadow upon the tree

when the leaves in splendor of gold jeweled be

such gems of grace Autumn lovingly does bring

listen, listen, rustling leaves in soft winds sing.

Two Leaves

two leaves, each an offering of autumn's grace
one onto the other held in heart's place
a sanctified array they do reveal
be these of blessings beyond conceal
chosen by hearts that live God's love
hallowed they be by the majesty of heavens above.

Rains and South Winds Yesternight, Tappan, New York

Rains and south winds yesternight

A sky of gray be the morning’s light 

Each fallen leaf laden with the falling rain

Their wind swept flight put to tame

A brimming blanket of leaves upon the ground

Quiet they lay, gone their rustling sound

Soft be this bedding of leaves from branch and bough

Winds of Autumn and rain holding to nature’s vow

Branches with leaves in the splendor of color some yet be 

Crimson, russet, orange, and gold donned by many a tree

Trees barren of leaves reach to the heaven’s above 

Past the winter to come, Spring anew,  blessings and love.
