HOLD SWEET...

HOLD SWEET

a seed planted

a garden watered

beauty and bounty there be

a kind word

a willing embrace

beauty and bounty there be

a day in honor, in celebration

a calling to heart

beauty and bounty there be

a poetic dialogue of faith and vision

a stroke of color upon a canvas

beauty and bounty there be

hold sweet the savor of wisdom

the gift of intent 

a vision of grace

the very breath of BEING

beauty and bounty there be.

WORDS words

WORDS words
Words for prayer words for play
For the faith and frolic of our day
For the politician's power quest
Words chosen thought to be best
Words that conjure thoughts of freedom, the held ideal
Words to affirm a continued and favored appeal
Words of the lovers passionate and sweet
To assure affectionate embraces when they do meet
Words to praise and hold gratitude true
Gems and jewels when bestowed upon you
The poet's game to choose words well
Passion, desire, sensibilities, emotion, where soul and heart dwell
The blogger reports, creates with many a word, many a phrase
Words to tell of intent, purpose and meaning of one's passing days
So blogger, you who visit and share time and a word, many or few
Know it is with pleasure I receive what you choose to do
And so we click and a virtual venture before us is laid
And with words, reflections and response, this game of life is played.

Passion, Piano and the Poet’s Pen

Passion, piano and the poet's pen sublime
Music and artistry 'tis nature's grace divine
The music, the words, the poem's soulful plea
Impassioned strings of heart known and set free
The artist's unveiling, the poet's word
And the music, the music, to be ever heard
These gifts of purpose, will and intent
Summon be the Muse with God's blessings sent.
