SEPTEMBER ... endings...beginnings... Summer to Fall...

... with blush ever anew...

leaves, branch and bough

in homage to the season's vow

a season with blush ever anew

crimson, russet, golden tone and hue

a palette of color be this joyful array 

known as the delights of a September day

brilliant be nature's blessed bounty all

melodies of color sing out sing out, 'tis coming of Fall.

This day calls...

Reflection...

the storms that have come to be

the ravages of rain, winds, water and sea

the loss calls heart to heart

from which rebuilding bears its start

community to community in many a need

let charity, faith and love be our shared creed.

RESONANT...

The glory of SELF... the grace of BEING... 

this the RESONANT...known in...

       

 Revelations    
    Eternity

       Spirit 
          Omnipresence
             Nature
               Ascension
                  Nurturance
                     Truth ... in all blessings BE.

A Sunday in September...

Outside my Window... in Tappan, New York...

the towering dogwood in blushing tones of crimson

the song bird singing its song ever so sweetly

the scamper of squirrels

the dew touched grass in splendors of green

the sky alight with the promise of the day

the gifts, the gifts, expressions of The Way.

Dance of Light

passions known and expressed they be

deliverance by the hands of destiny

line, color, and shadows cast in light

to the call of the muse in flowing flight

with palette and bush a mood to define

such be the gifts, the gifts of NOW and time.

...blessed hands...

          ... blessed hands that sculpt beauty and hold to truth
                form

                     structure

                          line

                               passion
                                    captured 

                                          be the grace

                                                the pain

                                                      the ecstasy 

                                                            the quest of BEING...

...onto an artist this very day... and so it is...

And so it is...

     no hesitation, no constraint, no holding back
          yours is a knowing spirit, beyond all lack 
             hold your vision, your questing path defined
                bear not doubts that limit and confine
                   live the TRUTH that guides and calls onto your soul
                      yours is a destiny blessed beyond pain, beyond toll
                         known be the harmonies, love, beauty and grace
                            within your heart ever the pulsing passion to place
                               this day your vision, your volition, your quest, you hand
                                  be the GOD, the ONE  in beauty’s expressive command.

With reverent respect,

Rose Marie Raccioppi
