...take I a pen... take I a brush... Graces of Eternity

Graces of Eternity

Bathed in the sweet nectar of divinity

Held by the graces of eternity

Feel I the Will of God's love

See I the glory of the heaven's above

Live I each breath, the giving, the receiving

Within this soul the knowing, the believing

And on to this hour, this moment at hand

Be it God's Will in loving command.

...the warming sun... the melting snow...days of a New York winter... Libation's Grace

torrential rain, mounds of falling snow
onto the receiving earth below
libation's grace upon land, farm and field
all to Spring's bloom and envisioned yield
earth and root so nourished they be
quiver of grass, the reach of the oak tree
libation be it present and ever so sweet
for the heavens and earth do lovingly meet
gift of the seasons with time ever unfold
feel I the touch of Spring's story yet to be told.

Today My Birthday...And Known BE

I dance and known be the stars

I breathe and known be the wind
I blink and known be the light
I sigh and known be the moon
I cry and known be the streams
I long and known be the rivers
I smile and known be the sun
I dream and known be the mountains
I change and known be the tides
I pine and known be the oceans
I love and known be all the heavens.

Twilight

twilight
'tis day 'tis night
mountains and plains yet do I see
wavering light upon land and sea
the heavens its moon and distant star
glimmers of celestial light in vistas far
twilight
'tis day 'tis night.

In The Light Of Day

Graceful be these arcs of the heavens
Embraced in the light of day
Crescent Venus and Moon
Each an opulent array.

Celestial Sea

The celestial sea, its echoes crest and sound
Wonder, awe, majesty of creation abound
The splendor of heavens far and vast
PRAISE to the WILL in beauty cast.

Floral Aurora Corona

Such beauty the heavens enfold
Pulsing light brilliant and bold
Luminous green and violet in majestic array
A solar wind stream at creation's play
Sweeping hues of ephemeral splendor
To the will of beauty my soul surrender.

Sweeping Tides

Waves of thought within my heart
Visions from which to start
A world where love and grace are known
Where God's WORD in deed be shown
An understanding of TRUTH and care
A world of peace, praise and prayer
A world that lives within my soul
A knowing that sounds its toll
The gifts of life, earth and time
Embrace the glory of the sublime
In the sweeping tides of heavens vast
Hear my PRAISE now and ever cast.
