The Call of a Summer Day... Passions Real...

 

Language provides an echo - it is not the original - words are representations, symbols, utterances, that the inner spirit longs to be known - to self - to others and to the ultimate SELF. As a poet, language echoes my heart's lament, my soul's joy and my spirit's quest to soar, echoes holding to praise and gratitude, a sounding sense of purpose... passions real.

The Call of a Summer Day... Passions Real...

Passion

the pulsing

adventure

of soul of spirit

inspired by

omnipresent need

Passion

the very flame

that lights

the creative longing

the quest for purpose

the reach for knowing

Passion

the wakeful night

that looks to the stars

the moon

the rising sun

the promise of the new day

Passion

the touch of the sublime

the silent yearning

the one known

the beauty perceived

the moment present

Passion

the frivolity of the flower

colors in radiant supernal array

the call to the light of the sun

the roots that reach to the depths

the bloom that prevails

Passion

what I dream

what I vision

what I feel as ME

what I know as SELF

what it is to BE.

... this day of THOR

 

How sweet be the awakening

to the song of song birds 

on branches with budding leaves anew 

the brilliant blooms of the dogwood tree 

outside my window

a lambent sky 

dressed with the light of the morning sun 

this day of THOR

and angels of grace 

as too, by Jupiter, I rejoice.

governed by the planet Jupiter

a call to philosophic endeavors 

holding to blessings 

balancing, exploration  

freedom from constraint

And there it is ... Thursday, and I, in a Jupiter mood.

beauty in devotional Praise onto Thee.

As I listen with the brilliant light 

of the afternoon Sun 

in a sky of lambent blue,

 casting its light in the window

next to where I am writing this, 

I am beholden to the artistry, 

to the music, 

to the spirit that is SPRING. 

Come listen with me.

...pen in hand... love's ardent command...

 

...pen in hand... love's ardent command.

and here this pen in poet's hand

wherein is heart's command

a smile, a gesture, the warming sun

a creed, a mission, a task now done

'tis not what I alone to answer nor unfold

the pleas of need be too, your story told

all awakens for the vision yet held

purpose and right intention in glory meld

with word and reach and Faith in command

and here this pen in poet's hand

expressive of light and heartfelt love

be the blessings supernal of heavens above

visions of resolve and peace there be

in the bounty of love from sea to sea

a thought, a knowing, from vistas far

ever the light from a distant star

and awakened we be to the sun rising new

life in glory, in grace bestowed upon you

and I a poet with pen in hand

beholden to love's ardent command.

..simply clippings... to root anew

 

clippings of green

held they in blessed water

to root anew

thoughts of light 

held they within heart 

to root anew

quest and visions

held they by soul

to root anew.

"some are born to sweet delight ... some are born to endless night..."

born we each to be

the call to destiny

beyond the perceived despair

be the grace, be the care

with each breath we to define

the need, the touch of the divine

and so with blessed convictions true

be the fate that calls onto you.

 "some are born to sweet delight ... some are born to endless night..." ~ William Blake

My eldest son, as a young teenager, introduced me to THE DOORS... yes, instantly an accord was experienced. The poetry, the rhythmic call of the music and the words sung with such depth of feelings, were magnetic.

Jim Morrison ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Morrison ) was a poet, one who sought meaning in each encounter, one who wanted to convey what we were to be aware of, responsive to, ever to appreciate cause and effect, ever to know we are the ultimate deciders for the fate of our BEING.

...listen...

hear the songbird song

hear the gentle flutter of wings in flight

hear the rustle of leaves as winds blow

hear the sway of branch and bough

hear your footsteps as they touch the ground

hear the pulsing heart

hear the presence of life itself

breath, breath, breath

can there be any greater music…

She to SELF...Wild Winds of Spirit

She to SELF...Wild Winds of Spirit 

Wild winds of spirit

Passions unleashed

She soars to vistas unknown

Lucid dreams of distant galaxies

Worlds in rhythmic motion

Sounds silent, sweet, thunderous

Pulsing, pulsing, pulsing

Within her a vibrant chord

She beckons, she calls deliverance 

She to SELF…she to SELF

FREE …FREE… FREE

Wild winds of spirit.

VOLITION

An array of nature’s colors 

Line, form, structure 

Bold, dynamic, spirited

The motion of nature’s energy

Emergent, ascending, expressive

Volitive, inspired, stirring 

The will of creation

An Awareness Wise

what be this awakening sweet


where grace and intention meet


what be this thunderous sounding in heart


where all that is has its knowing start


what be this soaring of spirit and soul


where vision is one with heart and goal


this be the Self, the TRUTH to embrace


where all that is blessed in knowing I place


where judgment, reprisal, illusion and demise


be cast aside by Spirit, an awareness wise


beyond the drama and lies yet heard


is the beloved glory of the divine WORD


joyful gratitude to fill my days


so be the embodiment of SELF in PRAISE.
