March in its mercurial mood...

March and the call of winter...

trees barren of leaves

budding green in a blanket of snow

sun brilliant in the lambent sky

the calm of a cold cold winter day

March being March in its mercurial mood

holds to the call of winter

summoned be the cold, high winds, and snow angels

crystals of light to come forth in winter’s mood

and so the storm before the gateway to spring.

Spring... Soulful Expression...

Spring in its soulful expression
The bloom of life and beauty
Delicate be the quiver of nature's grace
Such soulful expression within heart to place
The purity of white in snow and bloom anew
This the WAY of GOD in blessings eternal on to You.

W H I T E ...

White...

White be the fire flame

The passion of light ne'er to tame

Rapturous be an alchemy done

The fire, the flame, the passion, ONE 

Purity, the forging of SELF and time

Be known the eternal soul divine

White be the fire flame

The passion of light ne'er to tame.
