The summer wind, the evening breeze
The tender rush of rustling leaves
The final blush of daylight’s sun
Before the twilight has begun
These are the presages of night
Arriving there when all’s starbright !
DREAMS ASTRAY ( 2017 ) 2017/07/30
The morning dew is like a mist
That patient waits for sunlight’s kiss
Then disappears into the air
As if none saw that it were there.
The quiet calm of early dawn
Too soon becomes another morn
There join the world in disarray
And carry all our dreams astray !
SHOW US HOW ( 2017 ) 2017/07/29
I do believe that most try hard
To keep their faith and honor God
But stuff keeps getting in the way
It seems to happen every day.
We need a plan to get us through
To teach us all what we must do
Dear Lord above we need You now
Whom else is there to show us how ?
A BING CHERRY ( 2017 ) 2017/07/28
Oh how I wish that I could be
A cherry on a cherry tree
I’d wear a gown of frothy pink
As early spring was on the brink
Rains soon would flush my garb away
Uncovering my round display
While time and warmth help me to grow
Soon all my cherry colors glow
And so, my friends when birds arrive
It takes some effort to survive
I’ll make it through to harvest time
Now isn’t that sweet and sublime
Please tell me after you’ve seen me
Am I a top notch bing cherry ?
NO ANSWER ( 2017 ) 2017/07/27
At times I find myself uptight
Caught in a terror of the night
I cannot rest or close my eyes
Recapturing sweet sleep’s reprise.
The angels have deserted me
My world is wrapt in apathy
There is no answer to be found
Help me to turn the mood around !
AVID FEAR ( 2017 ) 2017/07/26
Have you seen the trouble we are in
Our world’s tilted and in a spin
We’re upside down, we’ve lost our way
There’s nothing left for us to say.
We are not what we used to be
Our freedom is no longer free
The world we’ve known has disappeared
Transformed by lies and avid fear !
TO FOLLOW YOU ( 2017 ) 2017/07/25
There is so much that I need say
Before it’s time to go away
To indicate just how I feel
With passions that are strong and real.
At times I’m sure I cannot win
The odds are stacked ere I begin
Please help me Lord make dreams come true
Grant me the strength to follow you !
