The Poet's Tidings

Moments of memory, treasure be mine  

The troves, the garlands, the gems of time

Each hour, each day, each year now past

A journey, a questing, a destiny cast

Awaken awaken to the vision yet held

Destiny and purpose in glory meld

The sounding heart with yearning real

Reverie and passion beyond conceal

The Muse calls to sound its claim

Beauty and Truth the poet to name

A blessed grace be it known, be it heard

'Tis the poet's tidings in heartfelt word.

Passion

Evolution

Omnipresence

Peace

Love

Eternity … the NOW of BEING.

The Poet's Tidings

Moments of memory, treasure be mine

The troves, the garlands, the gems of time

Each hour, each day, each year now past

A journey, a questing, a destiny cast

Awaken awaken to the vision yet held

Destiny and purpose in glory meld

The sounding heart with yearning real

Reverie and passion beyond conceal

The Muse calls to sound its claim

Beauty and Truth the poet to name

A blessed grace be it known, be it heard

'Tis the poet's tidings in heartfelt word.

Quest of Poets

Quest of Poets

The poet in passion

The poet in grace

The calling of the Muse

Heard within heart’s place

The word BE it a calling divine

In resounding silence the pulse of time

From lives lived this soul does speak

The word, the word, in wisdom sweet

The Wondrous, the Omnipresent, the Revelation, the Divine

The quest, the quest of poets within heart mine.

The Poet's Tidings

The sounding heart with yearning real

Beauty and Truth the poet to name

A blessed grace be it known, be it heard

'Tis the poet's tidings in heartfelt word.
