The prevailing winds... the sun in its glory... the passion of an embrace...

 

Sacred flame and fire
Consecrated passion and desire
Praise and Glory be they named
Truth and Love ever ordained
This blissful frenzy, a fervor within heart
From all doubt or fear this soul depart
The grandeur of life I not conceal
In the burning embrace of this moment real.

Flame of Breath

every experience, every need, every perception
every thought, every longing, every deception
to KNOW THYSELF from each consideration of life
be it of anticipation, of vision, of glory, of strife
a moment, comes to be both the present and the past
every breath of BEING, a seed upon consciousness cast
heed the sounding of change and each calling desire
quell not the flame of breath that feeds passion’s fire
feel the fire and the flame... 
be there no tame... 
be there no tame...

Upon arising to this day new... heed wise...

A hankering, a beckoning of heart

A dream, a vision, a knowing from the very start

A reaching for what the soul says you are to BE

Beyond the limits of a perceived reality

Heed wise the inner flame and fire

It is Spirit's knowing, knowing desire

Feel the soaring that holds you true

Live the light, the power, the passion of YOU.

This Heart, This Soul, This ALL

Quell not these passions aflame afire
The yearnings of this soul's desire
Know I this moment in living need
Creation and Being my heart to heed
Brush, paint, inner whispers heard
And cast upon paper Spirit's Word
I in the embrace of Creation's call
With WORD, this heart, this soul, this ALL.

Rapture

This brush clean and bare

This palette filled with care
This paper stark and white
This easel touched by light
This quest a silent word
This heart a calling heard
Brush and paint in strokes bold
Form emergent to take hold
This dance of fire
Tango, passion and desire
Paint and brush yield and capture
Strokes of color, strokes of rapture.

Of Desire

Thought in a web spun of desire
The quest, the passion, life’s flaming threads and fire
Yielding this heart this yearning need
Guided by God’s Word and loving creed
And in the embrace of Creation’s call
The music, the art, the knowing, God’s gift to all.

All Sensibilities

All sensibilities known to me
From passion I shall not flee
The enchanted call of the divine
Heard within heart's chambers mine
This pulsing flame and fire
The throb of inner desire
With poet's pen a quest to write
Of the eternal now be day or night
With paint brush strokes of emotion
In glory and in reverent devotion
The silence filled by music heard
And so be known is the divine WORD
The Muse ever shall you heed
'Tis the echo of the creator's creed.

Divine Frenzy, Watercolor, Rose Marie Raccioppi, 2000, http://www.apogeeart.com

Prelude, Chorale and Fugue, Cesar Franck

The mounting quest and fervor real
This heart knows not to conceal
Open to feel, long and mark desire
Pleading passion, flame and fire
Quiet the repose and soft the slumber
Nothing shall restrain or encumber
I willing to heed passion's plea
In all sensibilities I not flee
Each shade, hue, timbre and tone
I in your Presence, One and alone
Rippling waves of time and place
Know I the rapture of God's grace.

Passions Mine

Seduction and passion's plea
Longing and rapture in reverie
Fervor, spirit's luminous flame
Ablaze the soul calls its claim
Rueful reflection sounds its cry
Muse be summoned to answer why
Enfold yourself in the spark of creation
Now and eternal is all revelation
Brush stroke of color upon surfaces vast
Sculpture set by the artist to cast
Carving of stone with the hand divine
Drawing holding grace in shadow and line
The sounding heart and reaching hand
Music, music, echoes of God's command
Flaming heart of love and boundless fire
Know I of grace and incessant desire
Art, music, words in prose, words in rhyme
Playful musings of these passions mine.
