Sound becomes Light ~ REMEMBER

 A sound, and so we remember, 

the  gentleness of a time past

A sound, and so we come to be 

of this moment, a memory cast

A sound, and within a pulsing, 

a beckoning be it felt, be it heard

A feeling, a memory, a vision known, 

all within the voiceless word

Notes, chords, of reflections, reverie,

 to invite our imagination divine 

Supernal sounding within becomes light,

 conceived be HIS, yours, and mine 

And we embrace what we feel, what we perceive, 

what calls within to be true 

In offerings of sound, your light, your love, your heart  

becomes known anew.

And here the words in reflection of moons ago... Yes, this in the blood of this New York City born and bred gal...

Feel the pulse, the drama, the visions, the echoes of NYC in a canvas of sounding rapture...

Rhapsody in Blue

The Sounding City

The hum of cars, sounding horns

Tongues of many languages

Bright lights, fancy clothes

Saturday nights in memory

This Manhattan reverie

Rhapsody in Blue

The sound of feet on tenement steps

The radio heard from next door

This and eternal moments more

Rhapsody in Blue

The running of numbers

The shoe shine stand

Police car sirens

Dancehall music

Yes, New York City

Be it in reflections ever grand

Rhapsody in Blue

A vision beyond the alley window

Beyond what the street life demands

Rhapsody in Blue.

Snow here in Tappan, New York ~ Winter's touch of time

A gossamer veil of gentle wind, snow and light

Settled and cloaked in crystal strokes of white

Delicate be these touches upon barren branch and bough

Beauty to behold be the snow's silent vow

A hush, a pause, define this morning's domain

Nature's splendor holds its special claim

The faint song of wind upon chime

Heralds a welcome melody to Winter's touch of time.

We are the WEAVERS ~ Threads of Time

We are the WEAVERS

Threads of Time

we gave a cry and all rejoiced for this our birth complete

we are our first steps greeted with open arms

our first word that brought an admiring smile.

trace the years and their memories await anew

a montage, a kaleidoscope, of one's life view

sounds, impressions, of place time and moments sweet

where our dreams and our days come to meet

praise, punishment, joy and pain come to define

a life known as rightly yours, a life lived as mine

and what brings reason to pause this very day

but the wondrous Creation given by Life along its way

a breath, be it Life's endearing embrace

upon a time line of memories now to place

decades of moons have brought mystery and delight

magical be this waxing and waning of Creation's light

and so this heart, this soul, in time's grasp and claim

be held in the spirit and glory of our Creator's name

be it of yesterdays or days yet, our dreams enfold

each new gaze, a breath, a sigh, be this our story told

with threads of time Life's cloak we to weave

BE the warp and weft of DIVINITY and TRUTH conceived.

*Note: Warp and Weft are the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. The lengthwise or longitudinal, warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom, while the transverse, weft yarn is drawn through, thread by thread, over and under the warp.

And so it is, the vertical, the warp, be that which is of DIVINITY... as Above, so Below, for the GOOD of the ONE. The in/out within the horizontal, the weft, be that which is of TIME and SPACE, for the JOURNEY of the SELF.

This for You Michael Wilson Evrard

This for You

Michael Wilson Evrard

Beyond My Will

The moon shall wax and wane and so shall rise the sun

Beyond my will it shall be done

From many directions winds to ever blow

Beyond my will waves shall crest, the tides shall ebb and flow

Trees in constant change, new, growing, majestic, towering high

Beyond my will the brilliant splendor of light in a supernal sky.

Heart Prayer... an inner flame...the light...

 

pulsing pulsing be this heart

first breath and life bears its earthly start

heart prayer, an inner light, a flame

passion, faith and truth in glory name

this sounding PRESENCE be it in PRAISE

for the treasure of time and blessed days

the knowing, the questioning within embers there be

the glow of GOD's light, blessings aflame from THEE.
