A Flutter of Wings ... message received Dear Nicholas...

A flutter of wings at my window be heard
A Cardinal, bears she Spirit’s WORD
So telling be her beauty and grace
Holding to heart, to heart’s loving place
A spirited Soul, Heaven has received
PEACE, PEACE, in glory perceived
This very moment, her fluttering wings in sounding love
At my window, a message from the Heavens above
PEACE, now in Heaven’s embrace
PEACE, now within our hearts to place.

...within our hearts...

Love is the only flower 
that grows and blossoms 
without the aid of the seasons.
~ Kahlil Gibran ~
 
LOVE...
it is a flower that Longs to be known,
it is a flower with seeds of the Omnipresence,
it is the flower of Volition with petals of grace,
it is a flower that buds Eternally with praise.
be it a bloom within our hearts...
~ Rose Marie Raccioppi ~

VISTA AFAR

VISTA AFAR 

Felt is the passion of a vista afar

The depths of dark, the light of a star

Colors vibrant and ever so real

The quest of expression beyond conceal

In waves of enfolding grace sublime

Lost I am to the light of the divine

Feel I the fire, the flame, the soaring flight

The dark in an ever quest for the radiant light.
