..the MUSE beckons...

 

a poetic word ever held in heart

from which love shall not depart

express I the need and sounding plea

the MUSE beckons beckons within me

embrace the heart and love of others known

hold dear the care and vision they have shown

we as ONE as resolute intention divine

share we the gifts of love, light and time.

blessed be our endowments of grace and word

the MUSE beckons beckons that our hearts be heard.

GENESIS ~ .The moment, the breath, the GRACE of GOD in Deliverance.,,,

 

This posted earlier. Received a PM response and encouraged to post anew.. . so here as requested ... Yes, deeply heartfelt as perceived...

It be asked...

How does a poet, an artist, a visionary, a BEING, process the news that speaks to corruption, deception, maligning controls and abusive encounters? It hears the plea of TRUTH beyond the lies, it sees the HUMANITY beyond the exploitation, it lives the KNOWING, the FAITH, the VISION, beyond the oppression. It feels the darkness that ever calls to the LIGHT, it heeds the foretold, it lives THE WORD anew. In TRUST, in PUPOSE, it knows within SOUL, the love, the endowments of GOD's Genesis. It simply is the moment, the breath, the GRACE of GOD in Deliverance.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Genesis ... deliverance onto thee...

Words of this day and an expressed pressing need

Thoughts within consciousness planted, as too, a seed

Is it dismay and expression of dread that I am to hear

Within I declare a knowing Faith, beyond the told and untold fear

Sense I do an awakening to Spirit be sought

And to this, a word of understanding to heart be brought

Listen I, and in a telling, a harvest from Creation's grace

Within each challenge be a lesson in life's book of time to place

And so the sense of pain, loss and fear of the calling moment now

Eased by the Spirit reaping the harvest of Faith's loving vow

Genesis, the rising light in blessings BE

Vistas of deliverance unto THEE.

Skyward be my eyes...

 

Skyward be my eyes...

A feeling, a thought, and skyward be my eyes

The solace of light within supernal skies

Blessings of ALL I do feel

The touch of GOD ever real

And in this moment as Below as Above

Beheld I be by the embrace of Love

From the light a resounding WORD

The message of GOD, the ALL be heard.

THE WORD... and so it is...

 

...and so it IS...

It has continued to amaze me, as well as to fascinate, how 'telling' the Numerological analysis of words can be. The 'spell' of words has been my attentive interest since first leaning to spell, to read, to write, to 'tell' through words. It is this deep fascination and adhering to the call of the WORD of GOD, its sounding call that brought light to the world , that led me to develop the supportive programs that brought, and continue to bring, mastery of reading and spelling, to those deemed, "dyslexic."

Here is my 12th cycle of 7... I am petitioned anew to bring such knowing of "WORD" ~ its sounding, its calling, its configurations, its interplay of vowels and consonants, its consciousness, its energetic signaling, its PRESENCE as the knowing of BEING, as the PRAISE of GOD ~ TRUTH.. be known... the endowment of grace to behold.

A stone, an inscription, THE WORD, an ever present grace... here at my window bearing the blessings of light at this hour...

Birth ~ Death... and so it is asked... what be the purpose ... and so in reflective dialogue...

 

What BE

what be the purpose of words to share

but to know of one's heart expressing care

what be the purpose of banner and praise

but to bring celebration to our gift of days

what be the purpose to guide and teach

but to know that beauty and truth are within our reach

what be the purpose to know of time, space and measure

but to account for life's perceived treasure

what be the purpose to know of vistas so very far

but to know that we too hold the light of a star

what be the purpose to know of history and time's story

but to understand the ever present quest for power and glory

what be the purpose of drama and stage

but to act out the calling of soul, time and age

what be the purpose of music, dance and a song to sing

but to know the pulsing our hearts do bring

what be the purpose to draw, paint, sculpt, to hold a vision divine

but to revere and mark in splendor a life yours, a life mine

what be the purpose of holding accord of word and deed

but to live the honor of our days as a blessed creed

what be the purpose of each passing day

but to live in grandeur the blessings of THE WAY.

Dragonfly ~ A Request ~ A Fulfillment …

 

A Request ~ A Fulfillment …

I presented a request to Andrew Weitzer confident of its fulfillment. He is a Nature Photographer Extraordinaire. One can only marvel at his level of mastery. Andrew captures, the essence, the strength. the power, the beauty, the uniqueness, of his subjects, such that they become alive as we view them in their natural abodes. 

These supernal photographs of Dragonflies,  have been gifted to me from one who was my 5th Grade Student, Class of 1963,  Public School 106, Bronx, New York. 

YES, with JOY received.

Love it is,

Dragonfly

Dragonfly upon your wings I yet fly

Taken to frog ponds, to vistas on high

Your mystery, abiding wonder, and grace 

Withn the joy of heart found is your place

From time beyond my grasp, your presence known

The majesty of creation your embodiment shown

Many a wisdom tale to be heard

Echoes, Echoes, of the Creator's WORD.

God's love, praise and favor on to you

 

...the day's news known, the visions yet held...

God's gifts to be known

By the bounty of earth shown

God's voice to be heard

In the hearing of HIS WORD

For the feel of abiding love divine

For this moment in blessed grace mine

Each breath, day and passing year

In gratitude for life evermore dear

A knowing of an inner spirit of calm

God's love shielding me from harm

In joyful reverence a moment gifted new

God's love, praise and favor on to you.

A TASK

What moves me to put aside a task

A question onto SELF I ask

Why do I feel compelled to share

What in heart is love and care

Is it the calling echo of time

That beckons these expressions mine

What brings a poet to heed the WORD

If not the beauty of breath and being heard

Headlines, NEWS, bear they their claim

And I pray our salvation in God’s name 

Nature endures amidst destruction and dismay

And saved is the ultimate TRUTH of the WAY

A resolve pulses within heart

  And now the task, I to start

Be it to, "chop wood, carry water," task at hand

Known be the joy of grace in command.

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.

I and I AM...

BE it so...an early evening in reflection...

The Word complete

A single letter it be

You claim it as your own

As, too, to others it be known

Followed by two letters, and all is told

'Tis You and the Creator, each to behold.

Ever Constant...

Ever Constant...

Touched be our pulsing hearts
For the years from which we depart
Yet memories hold ever constant, ever true
For known onto self be the timeless you
Each movement holds to our first step taken
In spirit we are ever embraced, not forsaken
God we know sees us as a child beyond time
Ever in birth new in blessings of the divine
Held we are in the womb of creation in PRAISE
Blessed be the way, THE WAY, of our days
The guide for self and the care you give
Is the gift of breath and BEING we come to live
So as you take gently my reaching hand
Feel I the WORD of GOD in loving command
And when the doors open to the heavens above 
Know it is the eternal, the eternal womb of love.

Our CLAIM ...

Written in the light of the afternoon sun...

Our Claim...

Seekers and doers to life our claim

Visions, dreams, our hearts to name

We look to vistas vast and far

To the telling of a distant star

We hold cards in our hand

Seek we what they reveal, what they command

A rune we choose and be we told

A truth from words ever new, ever old

And in silence our pulsing heart be heard

Know thyself, Know thyself, BE the WORD.

Of Shadow Of Light

A dance of shadow of light
The dawning of a day new
Branch and bough in loving grace
Within this moment in heart to place

Heard is the silence, a music divine

This melody of soul in this moment mine

The gentle whispers of a whispering wind be heard

And known within be the divinity of the WORD

Creation's embrace in gentleness be shown

Blessed be this moment in solitude known.

When a therapist, an artist, a poet... A young man called upon me today

A young man called upon me today

With feelings of distress and dismay

Expressed pain from oppressions past

Said he, the work of the DEVIL upon him cast

The call for revelation be it heard

Truth not deception be the beckoning word

It is what is LIVED that serves the Lord in PRAISE

Love ~ Inspiration ~ Victory ~ Eternal ~ Divinity to fill our days

Transformation and transcendence, blessings to hail

To our purity of intention, God's light to prevail 

And so the WORD in its transcendence and grace

Within his heart he did willingly place

A vision new of yesterdays and lessons to behold

And so a new story to ever unfold.
