A W A K E N E D ...

Awakened to the flutter of wings

Awakened to the song bird song

Such lilting grace to greet the dawn

Rising light upon bloom and tree

Wondrous joy in all to see

Nature in its expressions divine

Breath of Being ever yours, ever mine

Hold to the blessings of sounding grace

Within our hearts to lovingly place

Be these the gifts of our days

Creation’s love in soaring PRAISE.

For a moment join me... Interlude...

For a moment join me...

Interlude

Lilting be the sounding of cresting waves and the music of the wind

The feel of waters that ebb and flow to the call of the moon

Implacable is this sea in its surging spirit

Motion becomes still in its turbulent wake

Time becomes suspended in grace

An interlude, a breath, and the sigh of BEING.

A Jewel of Golden Yellow

Thank You… Rose Marie Raccioppi

A Jewel of Golden Yellow

Hear the welcoming call to Spring
Beauty,  bloom, nesting, it does bring
Of brilliant color and light this Warbler be
A jewel of golden yellow, spirit’s alchemy
In flight is felt the grace of gold
Creation’s frolic be the story told
Creation’s frolic be the story told.

Spoils of Spring ...

"Sunshine, Ragged Robin blooming and the first Monarch of the year........PRICELESS!! "

~ Rick Bunting

Spoils of Spring

Such delicate and bold beauty to behold
And so the spoils of Spring unfold
Our heart held in soaring flight
Touched by the Creator's gifting light
Delicate be these petals in bloom divine
Captured be this moment in the NOW of time
Wings to flutter, to fly, in colors of majestic grace
Behold the grandeur, within your soul to place.
