BREATHE I

BREATHE I...

This day in its giving... breathe I, a resonant breath, all in homage, a bow to the blessings that sustains us...

            a breath that remembers,

                a breath that honors,

                   a breath that aligns,

                        a breath that becomes its own prayer

                            a breath that breathes GOD.

Anointed... endowments of grace...

As I sit at my desk next to a light filled window, the embracing warmth of the sun is gifted onto me...I look to the light, and words call to my soul...

there is a TRUTH beyond misgivings
there is a TRUTH beyond hurt and pain
there is a TRUTH beyond doubt and fear
there is a knowing, a PRESENCE Divine
     a petition in prayerful grace, the very call to SELF
         the call to Spirit, to Eternity, to Love, to Faith
              and so we PRAY... be this 
                   our Passion, 
                        our Revelation,   
                             our Ascension, 
                                  our Yielding
                                       to the blessings
                                            to the light of our LORD,
                                                the ANOINTED ONE.

                                                                                AMEN

EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... 

BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...

In time of call, in time of need

And to another I with heart to give

My WILL of life to love and live

'Tis only what I in heart command

Be known to another as a helping hand

Be they the WAY given to Truth, Power, Love, Grace

Within the chambers of heart to place

Each finger holding purpose and claim

Blessed they BE in our Lord's name.

In time of call, in time of need, 

in prayerful gestures of faith.

THE Guidance in Revelation...~ Sweet Surrender ~ A luicid dream... a telling... an awakening... knowing...

 

A lucid dream... a telling... an awakening... knowing... 

   in silence words be known, 

        in darkness light be known, 

            in a state of submission vision be known, 

                time bears no beginning, 

                    no end, it just IS - Inspired Spirit.  

                            and so the DREAM and so

                                                the Deliverance, 

                                                    the Revelations, 

                                                        the Eternal, 

                                                              the Awareness, 

                                                                the Manifest ...

                                                                        A telling, a beckoning... 

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."

KNOWING ... a word,

    a directive,

            guidance,

                 considerations,         

                    petitions of  passion, of purpose...

THE  defined as an "article adjective." be it the commune of Truth ~ Harmony ~ Exchange of our blessed endowments... 

                        Kindness

                        Nurturance

FAVOR unto YOU

 

Favor Unto You

God's gifts to be known

By the bounty of earth shown

God's voice to be heard

In the hearing of HIS WORD

Each moment, day and passing year

In gratitude for life evermore dear

A knowing of an inner spirit of calm

God's love shielding us from harm

In blessings. in providence, in imaginings divine

Behold we bounty, beauty, breath, our gift of time

In joyful reverence this very day gifted anew

Gods's favor. God's favor, unto you.

AMEN

The Blessings of a Son

 

A calling, a destiny, lovingly divine

An endowment of truth of structure, of form, of line

A vision, a knowing from depths of soul and heart

From which you ne'er depart

Beauty in its supernal expression and grace

With hand upon clay you do place

Know I thy will is done 

You in fulfillment my son 

This your day of birth ever new

Behold I the divinity that is YOU.

Happy Birthday Dear Christopher

A poet, an artist, a dancer she be

A sculptor, a builder, all marvel to see

A musician, a singer, an opera star

A traveler, an explorer of lands near and far

An athlete, a winner of the gold

An inventor with a new story to be told

A scientist with ideas noble and true

A doctor to be there caring for you

A teacher, a nurse, an entrepreneur

An antique collector, treasures for sure

An actress, a wife, a mother too

All in Presence in Spirit's view

Within her loving heart and knowing soul

Exploration, discovery, TRUTH be told

Tender her touch, young be her years

Innocent and knowing she holds no fears

Keep in reverence all that she BE this day

This her time, life, a toy with which to play.

ALL in PRAISE...this Blessed Palm Sunday... John:12:13

The Triumphal Entry

12~ The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 ~ They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”

This Palm Cross made, and gifted to me 

in devotional PRAISE of JESUS.

Received with love of GOD.

"THE VOID BEFORE THE BLESSINGS" ... this in expression...

 

 Indeed so... 

"THE VOID BEFORE THE BLESSINGS"

 this in expression...

Wisdom of All 

Oh how the mind conceives the thought

With restlessness your heart is wrought

For there is a just and kingly goal

Distant yet touching your crying soul

Be burdened not by task and deed

Lest you be lost to the greater creed

Inspired by self and the knowing within

Shall you pass the haunt, the doom of the din

Listen dear child to thy self sovereign and wise

Heed not to temptation, deception and lies

For it is the tear of joy that you shall weep

When the Promise you vow, you do keep

And when you reach and court the dream

With God's love stand thou supreme

Deception takes not your abiding soul

You have reached a kingly goal

As many may doubt and may berate

You shall prevail for love is thy fate

Guide the children, know their call

With God's tender love and wisdom of all.

The words, "Wisdom of All,"  are of GUIDANCE,  received in 1988 as I was preparing for the 'defense' of a teen who was not understood for his particular learning style and expressed artistry. It was indeed validating and assuring. It was a poem that was immediately held in memory and able to be recited without any further practice. It became the response of what IS ~ Inspired Spirit 

And so I LISTEN and ALL BE Heard... be this the deliverance of: Love ~ I AM ~ Spirit ~ Truth ~ Exchange ~ Nourishment, onto self, onto others.

With blessings,

As the days’s news has come...

As the days’s news has come to unfold

one asks what be the purpose of a flower’s story told

be it that Nature and beauty is to ever prevail

beyond the reported overwhelming travail

we to know that it is Creation’s blessings and grace

to be lovingly held in heart’s place.

… and so the Lily…

sweet be this budding bloom of white

petals delicate in the favor of light

chastity, virtue, purity, be its calling claim

this a Lily, blessed be its given name

a bloom from a bouquet, a gift received

this the bequest of beauty conceived

and with a sweet sigh I to behold

its allure and the ancient tales told

unfolding be its endearing gift of grace

such ambrosial splendor within soul I to place.

When All Refuse...

 

the mounting loss
the heartache and tears

what be this devastation that prevails
why these imposing fears and travails
are we not to hold reverence for each gift of life
are we not to create a world beyond bitterness and strife
what calling plea shall we answer this very day
within our hearts and visions PEACE be THE WAY 

when all refuse to destroy their fellow man
PEACE will be the prevailing command

 

the sun rises and light anew there be

so too, the blessings onto thee

awake to the calling, the pulsing within heart 

the breath from which life bears its start

reverent be our gift of time and purpose real

the grace of life beyond conceal

when all refuse to destroy their fellow man
PEACE will be the prevailing command.

HOLD TO THE GIVINGS

Listen I, to the murmur of the day
The calling, the calling, of THE WAY

Is my love known
Is my love felt
Is the light within seen

Questions in response to this moment in time 
Is there a legacy of spirit held as mine

Are my words held in poetic call 
Heard as a soul calling to the ALL

Life precious, this gift onto you, onto me
Behold I within each breath the grace of THEE

AMEN AMEN be this song of soul
For the blessings of life, pay I willingly the toll

May we each in our own spirited way
Hold to the givings, to the givings, of this day.

AMEN AMEN.

Genesis ... deliverance onto thee…

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.

This day, beyond the deluge is the lambent blue of the sky, the warmth of the sun, the song birds song, the quiver of grass new, the gentle budding of spring flowers, the emergent green of leaves upon branch, nature offers its ever present gifts of beauty and grace... Let us in FAITH hold this in heart. Let us take care in reverent regard. Let us hold sacred breath and life... rise, rise shall we above this deluge, rise, rise shall we above this deluge.

Forget-Me-Nots

delicate blooms of a lambent sky
so too, the golden sun from on high
each in its own beckoning way
call to memories of a long gone day
markings with pen in a journal, echoes they be
of times and delight in the embrace of thee
forget-me-nots, be they blooms of memories sweet
a yesterday, a now, ever as one to greet
and so pages and blooms be they offerings to share
the embodiment of God’s blessings and care.

...by the O N E

A stillness, a calm, the air chilled and awakening it be

Trees, branches, and bough, reaching to the light before me

Sky of lambent blue so brilliantly clear, supernal indeed

This celestial gift before me in benediction I to receive 

A silence in this motionless moment of BEING  divine

Such be the savor of the morning light, this the gift of time

This season of winter to embrace my blessed abode

Each day, each moment, there be a story to be told 

The All becomes known in each breath of SELF proclaimed

GLORY, GRACE, LIGHT, by the ONE so named.
