The Fire The Rose

 The Fire The Rose

The fire of passion, bud, bloom and thorn they be

So too, the cresting ecstasy of ocean and sea

A rapture of being and enchantment divine

Upon this soul, ever yours, ever mine

What longing lore of love do your petals enfold

Your sweet seductive fragrance I to behold

Bloom in rapture and radiant red array

The kiss of waters upon your petals lay.

BE it the libation...

At this afternoon hour in Tappan, New York.....

The light prevails and the rain does come

Be it the libation, the ever present gift of BEING

Be these tears, these drops of rain, the gift of flow

Answering the quest, the thirst of faith and love

Fulfilling the cleansing, the nourishing, the very call

To BE… Birth Eternal in the waters of conception 

In the waters of birth, in the streams of BEING.

Interlude... at my window...

Interlude…  2:55 PM ~ At My Window in Tappan, New York

Sweet rain sounding 

Gem colored leaves in libation’s grace

Brilliant crimson dogwood at my window

Branch and bough holding to the light of the sun

This the season of fall fulfilling its vow

This the moment, this the moment, NOW...

And NOW at: 3:38 PM...

The bright sun and clear lambent sky

Glistens the rain touched gems of color

Leaves newly brilliant in the wake of light

Moment majestic in the wake of change

This the season of fall fulfilling its vow

This the moment, this the moment, NOW...

Dreams Enfold

 

sweet slumber dreams enfold

heart and soul to behold

within depths of dark newly conceived

to the dawning light I AM received

to the dawning light I AM received.

An October Moment

the gentle chill of early fall

the touch of orange and crimson

leaves rustle whispers to the soft wind

the yet green grass lush and sweetly fragrant

the bloom of flowers in gem tones

yellow sapphire, red garnet, orange carnelian

in the near distance sculptures of angels

herald they their song of praise 

cascading vines embrace the weathered wood fence

waters sounding as they fall to the pond

to the delight of the swimming koi

a walk to the garden

holding to the magic of fairy tales and stories of wonder

an interlude as the sunset hour is soon to be

an October moment reminds us of the summer that was

and the fall in all its presence of glory

in all its presence of glory.
