Dance of Light

passions known and expressed they be

deliverance by the hands of destiny

line, color, and shadows cast in light

to the call of the muse in flowing flight

with palette and bush a mood to define

such be the gifts, the gifts of NOW and time.

What Color of Spirit...

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

What color be this moment ~ What mood ~ What spirit of BEING...

Is it the red of passion that sparks with flame and desire

It it the orange of a setting sun that holds to Creation's fire

Is it the yellow that dances with knowing joy and delight

Is it the green that lives the blessings of God's light

It is the blue so vast and clear of a day time sky

Is it the indigo of the night and stars on high

Is it the violet of Spirit’s crowning grace

Is it the magenta that holds Soul’s place

It is each, each and ALL

Heed the silent and resounding call.

Troves Of Time

Mood, these moments of being, the troves of time
In reflection, thoughts as words line by line
Treasures vaulted within this heart
From which reverie has its start
Garlands of thought ever free
Gifts of life bequeathed unto thee
Now and memories of old
Mark this time yet to be told
What pray tell am I to understand
The God within holds loving command
And so this moment born ever new
Troves of time betrothed to you.

Tango Mood

a palette... a dance... in haiku reflection

tango be the mood
embrace of sweet seduction
passion's dance afire.

Haiku Mood - At My Door

'tis morning to greet
the calling at my front door
a songbird in flight

the light of the sun
quivering of grass and leaf
sweet fragrance of bloom

leaf, petal, feather
delivered by gentle winds
gift of bloom and bird.

The Mood

the mood now prevails
shades and hues in bright array
dispel all darkness.

Mood, these moments of being the troves of time
In reflection, thoughts as words line by line
Treasures vaulted within this heart
From which reverie has its start
Garlands of thought ever free
Gifts of life bequeathed to me
Now and memories of old
Mark this time yet to be told
What pray tell am I to understand
The God within holds loving command
And so this moment born ever new
Troves of time betrothed to you
This moment to reach and willingly share
And known be your heart and loving care.

March Days

March days
The crisp crackle of dried leaves
The soft quiver of growing grass
The deep sigh of soft winds
The feel of air yet chilled
The play of green and blooming yellow
The mood of early Spring.

Mood Expressed This Day

Ascending waves of gray
'Tis the sky's mood expressed this day
Veering hues of white
Veiled be the sun's light.
