The Blessings of a Son

 

A calling, a destiny, lovingly divine

An endowment of truth of structure, of form, of line

A vision, a knowing from depths of soul and heart

From which you ne'er depart

Beauty in its supernal expression and grace

With hand upon clay you do place

Know I thy will is done 

You in fulfillment my son 

This your day of birth ever new

Behold I the divinity that is YOU.

Happy Birthday Dear Christopher

July 10, 2022

Ever with love,

Mom

LITURGY

Through the winter and into the Spring

Nature and time in its vow does bring

Leaves of green in a winsome array

Fullness in felicity for what shall come our way

The morning dew and rains in libation sweet

The glow and warmth of the rising sun to greet

Within the whispers of the wind secrets be told

The buds, the blooms, in adoration to unfold

A flower to be born, from green its color to reveal

A  destiny of supernal color and beauty beyond conceal

And so herald in the rites of Spring and time 

Blooms, the liturgy, in the name of the divine.

Clouds of Grace

 

Clouds of grace... BE they ...

the flutter of wings of our heavenly angels on high. 

The light of OUR LORD onto all this Blessed Sunday.

Ever with love

to

and as I cast my sight to the lambent sky

feel I the beauty of the supernal clouds up on

high

this day by Nature's plan shall unfold

and I to be led by the Divine WORD this day told.

Fires of SOUL

Awakened to the fires of soul
The vision, the quest, the fulfilled goal
The passion of SELF in this moment NOW
The unfolding, the sounding, the expressive vow
Within this pulsing heart of mine
Feel I the blessed, the supernal divine
A life onto me in union conceived
In each breath of BEING a gift perceived
And so this the eternal moment real
The splendor of SELF ne'er conceal
And I in grace and gratitude sublime
Savor the spirit, the SOUL mine.

...by the O N E

A stillness, a calm, the air chilled and awakening it be

Trees, branches, and bough, reaching to the light before me

Sky of lambent blue so brilliantly clear, supernal indeed

This celestial gift before me in benediction I to receive 

A silence in this motionless moment of BEING  divine

Such be the savor of the morning light, this the gift of time

This season of winter to embrace my blessed abode

Each day, each moment, there be a story to be told 

The All becomes known in each breath of SELF proclaimed

GLORY, GRACE, LIGHT, by the ONE so named.
