Spring Rain This Day

Rain Rain

The rhythmic falling rain
The green flourishing foliage
The touch the sound the feel
Creation in God's grandeur real

Rain outside my window
Tapping at my door
I hear its sounding call
Rain rain evermore

Droplets of splendor
Upon branches budding green
Shimmering day light
'Tis God 's blessings be seen

I listen to its haunting
Chant and melody
And feel its loving grace
Deep deep within me.

March My Month Of Birth...

So much March this spirit mine

The calling roar of wild winds
The bite of cold and frost
The gentle calm and warming sun

So much March this spirit mine

The wet driving falling rain
The delicate mist of the new morning
The birth of Spring

The peeking green of daffodils
The promise of bloom yet to be
Winds of ever present change

So much March this spirit mine.

Chorus of Light

Happy Spring to All...

behold this chorus of light
daffodils in bloom golden bright
embrace they the warming sun
Creation and Beauty be they one
joyful be these gifts of Spring anew
a resounding delight bring they to you.

Much love on to you my dear Blogger Friends...

Daffodils At My Door

this golden call of Spring in silence heard
the resounding bloom be the Creator's Word
delicate petals of color bright and ever so bold
this the Word of Spring now and yet to be told
daffodils at my door in silent whispers of Praise
for the alchemy of light of early Spring days.

Spring This day

...this mid day hour...in Tappan, New York


the bloom of Spring
this very day
white and golden jewels
in treasured array
crocus and daffodil
greet the warming sun
and lambent sky
hear the chorus
songbirds sing near by
behold these gifts
ever divine
the bloom of Spring
beauty sublime.

Reverie

from depths of time
cresting waves of thought
of time past
of time present
pulsing passions anew
reverie
the crescendo of the soul.

Green be the Way... Happy St. Patrick's Day

GREEN be the way... and to all the blessings of St. Patrick's Day...

Nature's Vow

mountain side fields of green there be
on river banks as waters flow to the ocean to the sea
from Spring to Winter be there ever seen
budding and seasoned leaves of green
dew touched green greets the dawn
the harvest from nature's bounty drawn
in heights that soar a tree does stand
the splendor of green in sublime command
shades and hues upon branch and bough
the grace of green 'tis nature's vow.
