Dearest of Family, Friends, Followers, Visitors... A mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, one in her 85th year 2023... and she... The POET

The POET

she awakens to the light

to the dawning of the day new

she hears the song bird song

feels the warmth of the sun

listens to the sounding wind

hears the echoes of loss and lament

feels the pain of despondency and despair

yet deeply she knows all is in resolve

for ever held she be in GOD's care

many a trial and many a challenge at hand

FAITH and TRUST be her guiding command

beyond chaos, horrific abuses, and mayhem

be the calling clarity of grace, the solace of soul

the mission, the quest, this pulsing of heart

from love it be known, from love shan't it depart

the Passion ~ the Omnipresence ~ the Eternal ~ the Truth

this be THE WAY

she the POET in blessings LIVES her day

a word by pen, its petitioning perceived

this the MUSE in soul conceived

upon the paper marks to bear her name

and she the POET expresses her claim

and she the POET expresses her claim

we the responders, activists, creators of the NOW

be it RESOLVE, be it LOVE, be it PEACE, 

be it our SOUL'S VOW.

..the MUSE beckons...

 

a poetic word ever held in heart

from which love shall not depart

express I the need and sounding plea

the MUSE beckons beckons within me

embrace the heart and love of others known

hold dear the care and vision they have shown

we as ONE as resolute intention divine

share we the gifts of love, light and time.

blessed be our endowments of grace and word

the MUSE beckons beckons that our hearts be heard.

Rhapsodies Mine... ...paint upon canvas... words upon paper ...

 

words to echo the depths of passion and desire
those that capture moments of rapture's fire
the lover's embrace that holds silent the pain
within the folds of beauty our truth we so name
we and another in shared vision and a knowing quest
become the ocean waters as they flow and crest
an ecstasy within that breathes life divine
blessed be these rhapsodies mine.

So deeply felt... so deeply known... 

the pen of the poet... the brush of the artist... 
word and palette ... a divine order in expression.

The journey.. the markings of THE WAY...

 

THE WAY

need it be of pain to be real

need it be of anguish beyond conceal

need it be of loss and tear

need it be of what we fear

is this the poet’s hailed domain

is there a vista beyond the pain

and so I a poet called to see

the blessings bestowed upon a you, a me

without effort or labors of my hand

the sun to rise upon Creation’s command

and with the gift of breath be each endowed

by the glory that GOD and life do vow

heed I the love, the truth, the beauty, within this day

be it the journey, the markings of THE WAY.
