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.

I, as a LOTUS

 

I,  as a LOTUS

earth and the gift of sweet libation 

waters that fill the soils with its elixir of grace 

beheld be the flow of streams, rivers, brooks

pools of mud blessedly receptive, receiving

the gift of water, earth, sun, and PRESENCE

from depths emergent be the rooting, the bud, the bloom

a LOTUS,  from muddy waters arising

so too, I,  from muddy waters,  from tears known 

a  bloom  of beauty, bounty and BEING.

GENESIS ~ .The moment, the breath, the GRACE of GOD in Deliverance.,,,

 

This posted earlier. Received a PM response and encouraged to post anew.. . so here as requested ... Yes, deeply heartfelt as perceived...

It be asked...

How does a poet, an artist, a visionary, a BEING, process the news that speaks to corruption, deception, maligning controls and abusive encounters? It hears the plea of TRUTH beyond the lies, it sees the HUMANITY beyond the exploitation, it lives the KNOWING, the FAITH, the VISION, beyond the oppression. It feels the darkness that ever calls to the LIGHT, it heeds the foretold, it lives THE WORD anew. In TRUST, in PUPOSE, it knows within SOUL, the love, the endowments of GOD's Genesis. It simply is the moment, the breath, the GRACE of GOD in Deliverance.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Genesis ... deliverance onto thee...

Words of this day and an expressed pressing need

Thoughts within consciousness planted, as too, a seed

Is it dismay and expression of dread that I am to hear

Within I declare a knowing Faith, beyond the told and untold fear

Sense I do an awakening to Spirit be sought

And to this, a word of understanding to heart be brought

Listen I, and in a telling, a harvest from Creation's grace

Within each challenge be a lesson in life's book of time to place

And so the sense of pain, loss and fear of the calling moment now

Eased by the Spirit reaping the harvest of Faith's loving vow

Genesis, the rising light in blessings BE

Vistas of deliverance unto THEE.

The Knowing

The Knowing 

in the delicate beauty of a flower,
    in the purity of joy in a young child's smile,
        in the rising and setting sun,
            in the radiance of the sun, the moon, the stars,
                in the flowing streams, rivers, and seas,
                    in the ever changing firmament,
                        in the mountains, fields and forests,
                            feel I the pulse, the light, the embrace,
                                the knowing, the exaltation, 

                                    the PRAISE of GOD.

O' Sole Mio ... and touched be my heart...

I grew up with my grandfather singing this to me.

He sang it with the purest of Neapolitan love.

He would say I was the SUN of his day...yes, sweet tears of love come to heart...

Neapolitan lyrics

Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole

n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!

Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa

Che bella cosa e' na jurnata 'e sole

Ma n'atu sole,

cchiù bello, oje ne'

'O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

'O sole, 'o sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

sta 'nfronte a te!

Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,

me vene quase 'na malincunia;

sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria

quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.

Ma n'atu sole,

cchiù bello, oje ne'

'O sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

'O sole, 'o sole mio

sta 'nfronte a te!

sta 'nfronte a te!

English translation

What a beautiful thing is a sunny day,

The air is serene after a storm

The air's so fresh that it already feels like a celebration

What a beautiful thing is a sunny day

But another sun,

that's brighter still

It's my own sun

that's upon your face!

The sun, my own sun

It's upon your face!

It's upon your face!

When night comes and the sun has gone down,

I almost start feeling melancholy;

I'd stay below your window

When night comes and the sun has gone down.

But another sun,

that's brighter still

It's my own sun

that's upon your face!

The sun, my own sun

It's upon your face!

It's upon your face!

'O Sole Mio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'O sole mio" is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. The lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro, and the melody was composed by Eduardo di Capua. It has been performed and covered by many artists, including such stalwarts of opera as Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Mario Lanza, The Canadian Tenors, and The Three Tenors. Luciano Pavarotti won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance for his rendition of "'O sole mio". Though there are versions in other languages, "'O sole mio" is usually sung in the original Neapolitan language.

Here for ALL to enjoy ~ in presentation by The Three Tenors... a classic performance. When this performance was heard several years ago, tears of JOY brought to heart. Each Chamber of heart filled with a pulsing grace. Yes, remembered dearly was my Grandfather singing this to me .

From words of soul ne'er You depart

Beheld be your TRUTH within soul's place

A blessed destiny beyond all conceal

Behold this pulsing quest of time

The heart, the soul, the hand, the call of the divine

Happy Birthday
