Shadow Not The Light

Haiku Reflections
light ever given

the dance of the sun
sunrise sunset light's beauty
God's warming embrace.

shadow not the light
harken the call of Presence
moment of Being.

Pembroke Caselt, South Wales: Thunder Storm Approaching, Watercolor, 1801, Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775-1851.

Past Present And Yet To Come

The wax and wane of the moon's light
The ebb and flow of the tide
The rising and setting sun
Past present and yet to come.

The question, the doubt, the resolve in heart
The laughter, the joy, the knowing wise
The task, the vision, the deed so done
Past present and yet to come.

Each Rising Day

Fear and suppression no longer take hold
So be the glory of spirit and soul
Life and valor fill chambers of heart
From which anger and hurt do depart
God's power and reign within abide
Powerless be the taunter, the one to chide
Mind to fathom trove and treasure
Fulfillment and abundance in whole measure
The gift of knowing to mark each rising day
Beauty, grace and truth, blessed be The Way.

Sail I

Sail I to the sun's splendor
Sail I to the casting light
Sail I to the call of the waters
Beyond the dark of night

Sail I to the vistas of faith
Sail I to the depths of my soul
Sail I to the glory and grace
Beyond all life's toll

Sail I to uncharted waters
Sail I to horizons yet known
Sail I to each sunrise
Beyond life has thus shown

Sail I to the heavens above
Sail I to the dreams to unfold
Sail I to the questing heart
Beyond a story told.

Luminous Majesty

A path upon these darkened waters
The luminous majesty reigns supreme
Radiant, ablaze with rapturous light
Enchanted are these depths of darkness
Revel I in the resplendent rising sun
Embraced within the wondrous firmament
And known be Glory known be Praise.

If A Moment

A loss I shall not bemoan
For within a lesson be shown
The night I shall not fear
For day is but moments near
If a moment in confusion's wake be
Faith ever present to embrace me
And so I with God's light and glory
See the love in each day's story.
