Lace latticing windows
mist drifting rain
gust buffeting park-homes
encircled again
coastline veiled seagulls
specs flex and scream
as cliff-edge drench meadows
shock saffron and green.
Lace latticing window
Presence perfect
formless beyond description
arisen upon descent
saving all-told from destruction
a presence that Perfection sent.
.
.
spreading laced veils before us
we smile and cry through our strife
mourning, while weal’s keep on turning
salt weaving the woundings of life.
.
.
borne high we stoop low for a season
to carry the wrong with the right
we weigh every load upon reason
just like beasts in the burden of night.
.
.
yet spirits smile silent upon us
sweet fragrances sent in the sky
even tides sway to know moonlight
ravines weep down steep mountainside.
.
.
eagles charm Light with their feathering
angel wings balm every soar
Love reigns to sooth with Her weathering
Life water flows deep in our core.
Refreshing the Blessing
I am currently on a song writing course,
here’s this weeks offering
Verse 1
Near to The One are we that mourn
While hungering for Life re-born
Renewal comes to aching hearts
Who warm in Love while pulled apart
For everyone becomes in me
The thoughts I offer them to be
If I am stone I feel no pain
But am denuded just the same
Chorus:
And now beyond the fear, receive both loud and clear:
Blessings from you, Blessings from me
Joining anew with Loves unity
Goodness becoming, Goodness refreshing
These Blessings on Blessings, on Blessings, on Blessings
Verse 2
To shrink our ego’s near to nought
Intention needs to follow thought
When silence in our hearts take root
We blossom into ripened fruit
When with the loveless we consort
Good News breaks through to now report
Our suffering’s washing out again
As Blessings come from sun and rain.
Chorus:
And now let us rejoice, by lifting-up our voice:
Blessings from you, Blessings from me
Joining anew with Loves unity
Goodness becoming, Goodness refreshing
These Blessings on Blessings, on Blessings, on Blessings
Bridge:
Within this moment and this breath
Pause to re-remember that we are Blessed.
Verse 3
How fluidly for friends and foe
Do blessings from peacemaker’s flow
They float on Oceans unity
Make Graceful waves while all at sea
Immersed within the merciful
Awashed with Love for one and all
These beautiful forgiving ones
Bring buoyancy to living stones.
Stretching the Beatitudes
Blessed are
the softened ones, the peacemakers, the pure in heart
With gentleness and unity they grow with Grace consistently
Near to Light are they that mourn while hungering for Life re-bourn
and Blessed are the merciful, those wishing well to one and all
Renewal comes to aching hearts who warm in Love while pulled apart
For everyone is to us, what we think them to be
Of course, the stone can feel no pain:
They are denuded, they do not flourish, nor do they blossom into ripening fruit
Within this Blessed sun and rain.
(Blessed pronounced Ble-ssed)
Traffic jamming Light and Grace
Fuming beyond
this zebra crossing dripping throng
this head down, striding long
Gortex sway of human form
as wiper blades scud and grate
across this screen that separates
my heart from spleen from
gentle grace of
worried lines on
brethren’s face.
And yet.
unknowingly still I bow, yes
beyond this dashboard reach
for conditioning air
this rain filled rage begins to clear
as Lightening weight accelerates
and soft green shoots now reappear.
