INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL Way back then, Noah had clearly read the signs Here and now, so very few of us are left I’m Goliath, frontman for the Philistines Without my trusty visor, I am bereft But I am very tall, and not a small ‘un With his sling, David did seem to be so deft There are a lot of rumours...

HAPPILY DISCONTENT One may wish to own a JW Turner The art of art is the skill of knowing And recognising every good earner The online market for art is growing Yet it is more my greed I must quell One needs a real space for showing With my few fake Masters left to sell I found a gallery, as credibility counts For a...

Love stirred my soul, rousing an aspiring fire passions swelled, feelings exploded with delight gentling hope and grace soared higher and higher whispers of joy pour out stars across the night stilling the shadows with songs of careful bliss moon beckons to the spirit, glowing so bright only God knows how I long for morning’s kiss life reminds me why there are...

Wherefrom does arise that impulse divine, which we deludedly claim as our own, thus offerings of grace decline? In the void of silence, we dethrone wayward ego birthing fear and desire, whence mellow and gentle becomes our tone. Having consigned ego to the funeral pyre, all that remains is presence aware, radiating God’s eternal fire. Recognise oh hermit, each thought as a snare ~ Call...

Breath of light, casting shadows over the night Soothing stars and moon in her gentle embrace Hurling nervous sea against beaches so white Gentling the surf with a calm time can’t erase Cobalt sprays fall against the sandcastle reefs Stirring wells of euphonious tones of grace Mists of joy, glazing the trembling cloverleafs Sunlight glow murmuring peace to the coastline Sand dollar stories...

Surrounded by peeling wallpaper it’s a picture of provocation; These holes tended to terrify her. Spots that need so much renovation must be rebuilt right down to the core; There’s happiness in new construction. You’ve got an idea what’s in store, once the soul is restored to this house; An antique knob attached to the door. Enough beauty to instantly rouse a blend called...

YEARNING FOR LEARNING I studied love from a scientific text Its logical approach fitted like a glove It said exactly the things I must do next I do know everything about life and love At least now after reading that reference book Although they do say, as below, so above But your real life reaction was all it took And what was possible,...

A twisted path, where shadows softly creep, I walked alone, with doubt a heavy chain, And whispered fears, that stole my tranquil sleep. A distant light, through darkness, did remain, A fragile hope, that beckoned me to rise, And break the bonds, that held me in their reign. The winding path, before my weary eyes, Began to glow, with colors bright and...

Golden drops leapt from the pot A mist of thyme from amber swirls Behold! Fortune's favour made to clot Giddily, I imbibe the gleaming pearls Reaping blessings from Lady Luck The limits break, the sky unfurls Dancing to the beats of the shimmering drug Gone is the fear of impossibilities Lightning-powered, I'm thunderstruck Now standing in the land of opportunities Leading passions into...

It is a pitiful display To belong where you don’t belong Wanting to rule a former day A worn out tune of a love song No longer loved by the crowd Down with the old King, so long! The blizzard’s countenance proud in the Kingdom of the Warm Front Is quashed by the thundercloud The waning moon takes affront As sunbeams begin to amass All victors...

Black and blue memories turn to sunset; All of the craziness that we’ve survived, it’s like I’ve been branded by our secret; So many roller coasters we just thrived, as long as we rode down them together; The tumultuous my heart has archived; We aren’t exactly birds of a feather, but two sets of wings still fly parallel; Painting the sky...

A mother’s role is not an easy one, A taxing undertaking, to be sure; And if it weren’t for you, I would have none. But you would make me feel so small, demure, With words of anger and a cruel hand; Of my own place and worth I was unsure. There’s only so much hurt a child can stand Before they numb...

Jaunting down a garnet brick road I admire the diamond treetops glistening as if it just snowed; Sky’s alive with sparkles and pops; Leftovers of silent fireworks fall to the ground in absurd drops; Color guard genius in those quirks; You have no choice but to surrender to where your imagination lurks; The darkest Sun or brightest thunder? Such joy lies in following wonder....

Still as the moonless night, settling on the hills reflecting dawn’s gentle light, softly flowing rustling sighs, music bursting forth, happy thrills beneath rushing winds, gentling dreams, mind-blowing breath of autumn paints the skies in healing hues perfect leaves falling from trees who’ve stopped growing whilst summer whispers to the moon, purple muse soft prayers portray the twilight’s famous stay though the blessings...

Line of Inquiry:  “we look for that light eternal   that does not come and go  the screen upon which life plays  cognised in staid stillness slow” - Unseeking Seeker Let there be light And the light was called day And the darkness was night. And the Lord showed the way On this screen called the Earth Where our destiny lay Heralding the birth Of all that...
