What Be

what be my thinking this day
what perceptions will mark the way
what memories shall I behold
what story shall there be told
will this day be its glory new
will it be shadowed by doubts held true
dispel the veils of doubt and fear
dispel illusions of loss, pain and tear
know that all in its own destined way
brings meaning and purpose to our day
beyond all hurt, betrayal and demise
is the seeking and the word of the wise
the waxing and waning to prevail
the splendor of light shall ever we hail
know with faith and an abiding grace
that within our heart destiny has its place
it shall be ours ever to have and to hold
this THE WORD be it with love ever told.

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.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
