the air still and gently cool
seductive be this darkened vista
bewitching light of the moon
corona of jeweled tones luminous
such be the rapture of this November night.

SUPERMOON ~ November, 2016...

Awakened by the brilliant light of the moon at 3:00 AM.. yet more to come...

 http://www.nasa.gov/…/…/2016/novembers-spectacular-supermoon

Moon

brilliant be the full moon light

an indigo melody fills the night

the depths of darkness graced they be

by the light that calls to hearts and sea

tides and souls in cresting splendor

to this majesty of grace I surrender.

How fortuitous that this Earth is presently graced by the full moon at perigee. 

Creation offering brilliance so that we take pause and behold the glory of The Way. 

For whatever be the moods, the perceptions of humankind, the Light prevails.

…and touched we are by the grace of the Supermoon, November, 2016.

Crescendo

hear I the ambient harp song of the night

brilliant moon in its melody of light

indigo depths in light they be

onto cresting waves of ocean and sea

this wax and wane, the ebb and flow

a dance, a dance in the moon’s blazing glow

this moment a crescendo so sweetly heard

the luminous, the luminous, pulsing THE WORD.

The MOON...

wondrous light up on high
the moon in flight across the sky
brilliant orb to wax and wane
the beauty of night claims your name
 the moon a gift of grace
your light and love in heart I place
and if a moment in darkness or despair
know I the Presence of light's embracing care
the light of stars, sun and moon upon my soul ever be
this be God's WORD decreed onto me.

...to see the marvelous...

"The invariable mark of wisdom is to

see the miraculous in the common."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

the marvel of a golden leaf to fall

from that mighty tree bold and tall

the lilting melody of the song bird

within the love of heart be heard

these gifts of season and time

such be blessings of the divine

it is with grace and ardent PRAISE

that we endow our hallowed days.

The Fire The Rose

 The Fire The Rose

The fire of passion, bud, bloom and thorn they be

So too, the cresting ecstasy of ocean and sea

A rapture of being and enchantment divine

Upon this soul, ever yours, ever mine

What longing lore of love do your petals enfold

Your sweet seductive fragrance I to behold

Bloom in rapture and radiant red array

The kiss of waters upon your petals lay.

BE it the libation...

At this afternoon hour in Tappan, New York.....

The light prevails and the rain does come

Be it the libation, the ever present gift of BEING

Be these tears, these drops of rain, the gift of flow

Answering the quest, the thirst of faith and love

Fulfilling the cleansing, the nourishing, the very call

To BE… Birth Eternal in the waters of conception 

In the waters of birth, in the streams of BEING.

Interlude... at my window...

Interlude…  2:55 PM ~ At My Window in Tappan, New York

Sweet rain sounding 

Gem colored leaves in libation’s grace

Brilliant crimson dogwood at my window

Branch and bough holding to the light of the sun

This the season of fall fulfilling its vow

This the moment, this the moment, NOW...

And NOW at: 3:38 PM...

The bright sun and clear lambent sky

Glistens the rain touched gems of color

Leaves newly brilliant in the wake of light

Moment majestic in the wake of change

This the season of fall fulfilling its vow

This the moment, this the moment, NOW...
