A delightfully spent Sunday in the PRESENCE of Summer...

In the PRESENCE of Summer...

the sun yet radiant in this hour nearing sunset

the air sweetly refreshing

greens yet lush and generously abundant

children's laughter faintly heard from doors away

I, in an interlude, a soulful grace of BEING

a quietude filled with the harmonies of songbirds

leaves of the dogwood glisten outside my window

sweet be the savor of the shimmering reflections

the sun holding to its supernal brilliance

strokes of gold and orange adorn the luminous setting sun

feel I a baptism of beauty

a stillness, a silence, a living peace

golden be this twilight hour

the endowments of BREATH and BEING

this a Sunday in the PRESENCE of Summer.

Simply at the Twilight Hour...

Twilight Hour

under my feet the grass so lush and green

feel I a gentle quiver 

be this the very breath of creation

a silent yet resounding PRESENCE

the twilight hour

the horizon in tones of magenta

a momentary magic 

strokes of gray

the day so willingly surrenders

the day so willingly surrenders.

T W I L I G H T ...

A beautifully spent Sunday, in reflection, in response, in the warmth of the sun, 
and in gratitude for what has been and what is...
Yes, the hour that has come to be...

TWILIGHT

the setting sun colors in celestial array

soon the twilight hour at this close of day

moments of change from day to night

ever yet the constant beckoning of light

the stars soon to sparkle in vistas above

the night to offer its guiding love

each moment of breath be it known

the receiving the giving in grace shown

the interface of NOW and change anew

blessings of BEING bequeathed to you

day night held as ONE in time

this the expression of the divine 

day begets night in its ardent vesper call

be ONE, be ONE, with the grace of ALL.

At the Window...

The twilight hour has come

The day, the night as ONE

At the window a Dream Catcher there be

The majesty of light yet to see

A web to capture the thought of the day

A crystal to hold time eternal, the light, the way

Within all the deliverance of grace

A  D R E A M within heart to place.

Verdant Whispering ~ Haiku Reflections

peeking green to see

daffodils to come anew

verdant whispering.

quiver of the grass

robins now in soaring flight

verdant whispering.

twilight be the hour

such sweet calling of the light

verdant whispering.

this glory of green

nature's grace of spring to come

verdant whispering.

carried by the wind

the feeling of green a bloom

verdant whispering.

Verdant Song

twilight be the hour
such sweet calling of light
hear I the verdant song
serene be the day's surrender
lithe and lush branches of green
gentle is the sway in the winter garden
wind and evergreens hold to the light
upon colors of nature's grace
lilting echoes carried by the north wind
twilight be the hour
such sweet calling of light
hear I the verdant song.

Twilight Hour...

...haiku reflections...

this twilight hour known
echoing waves of sun's glow
sounding night's call.
