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.

Golden Bounty

The sun held in golden hues of light

Alchemic beauty, harvest, bloom, leaves in flight

Textures, forms, the Creator’s grace

The wondrous of all in Autumn’s embrace

To Old Hook Farm, pure savor found ever anew

'Tis this golden bounty, bounty gifted onto you

Upon the Farm Counter

upon the farm counter alive and green
the wondrous abundance of nature be seen
a grass so fresh its vibrancy shouts
this is what bounty is all about
harvest well plants that grow small
and those who grow mighty and tall
know that green speaks its language of love
offering to you its gifts of rain and sun from above
unto my table it comes to be
blessings and nourishment from the grace of THEE.

...and five they be...

One potato
Two potatoes
Three potatoes
Four!

Five potatoes
Six potatoes
Seven potatoes
More!

This Summer I planted my first organic gold potato in a large planter on my deck. The vine was magical... felt as if I was the most recent, "Jack and the Bean Stalk." To my delight I did yield a Fall harvest of five potatoes!! Wondrous yes, be Mother Nature!! A smile indeed!!!

... yes... my friends...

into the rich organic soil a potato did go
and soon a wondrous vine did magically grow
tall it be with flourishing leaves of deep green
and I with a smile to be now ever seen
much to my delight and growing pleasure
came the harvest of five potatoes
Mother Nature, indeed a shared treasure.

Blessed We Are

Blessed we are
For the passion and allurement of love
For the delicate innocence of each new born
For the wonder of each child’s way
For the meaning we live this day

Blessed we are
For the understanding we seek
For the compassion we feel
For each sunrise we behold
For each story told

Blessed we are
For the striving and the path
For the strength to meet opposition
For the knowing within the Word
For the listening beyond all heard

Blessed we are
For the bounty
For the harvest we gather
For the restful reflection
For nature's perfection.

Blessed we are
For the tender touch that comforts
For the embrace that secures
For the determination to be
This moment blessed and free.

A Most Happy Thanksgiving to All
