“Academia gave me reasons

to understand botany, biology and math.

Yet, death alone could teach me more

on how temporal those lessons are.

I’m certainly skeptical, now as It was I

who agreed upon the course.

Nonetheless, I shall be marooned

with higher learning;  till those bells

are rung for me no more, and

how sad It will be

when I finally close

my books.”

Sweet, summer rain;

cleanse my heart, and

take my pain.

I surrender those ill spent hours,

I wasted to complain.

Cause, only real love can unchain

the constant sorrows I’ve lived through.

Was a drifter; miles lost.

Everyday, I’d lose my way, with

Soggy shoes and worn out socks.

I’m sure I must have held  a broken compass

or two. I’m sorry I don’t  listen well

or take direction

very good… On account its hard to change,

the error of my ways.

Spare my soul…

Dear God.

Whisper low, while the pressures nigh,

remind me Lord to keep  pressing  on.

I’m in need of motivation, and a kiss

of Heaven’s dew.

Sweet,  summer rain;

cleanse my heart, and

take my pain.

O’ Lord you’ve gotta know

who this is… I’m the one,

In the dim light of this dark and lonely room.

Hold me still I am calm, and pardon

all of my wrongs.

You’re the flower in my sunshine, and

the torch of timeless youth.

Yet, the sun will still bid me fare well,

and it’ll hurt to say goodbye.

So, Dear Lord, lead this weary stray

on home.

Oh, sweet summer rain;

cleanse my heart, and

take my pain.

Occasionally, the clouds are kind

and tinkle out some playful snow flakes.

Yet, a grumpy wind, whips

the falling snow around, blowing

them past my frozen face.

Well, I had to chase those snow flakes down

through a snow  trodden cow pasture, and

over a wonderland of snow, across

a playground, and a bubbling brook

until, finally it settled on a long green

pine needle. Although, when I finally arrived

I could only watch as my favorite

snow crystal… melted away.

I debated this scene in my mind

as it reminded me of the pursuits of life.

Sure, we may not all catch success before

it melts away, but we sure do have fun

in chasing it around.

“Who ever commands

the shades of spring;

Is my creative lover.”

Moreover…

Talent like this

should be, consecrated

into the bosom of an artist’s

summer.  Further more

we learn creations

skill…which fate

must yield; meaning

to us wayward

walkers. Meanwhile

let us tarry still

in gardens of outstanding

plumes of color.

Let it leap off our palate

and on to an-others.

Smell this passion

in the fragrant scenes

of spring. A charming gift from

the One, who loves us all…

My creative lover.

O’ humanity…

Why do we pretend

to not understand,

how small we really are;

In comparison to the vast universe?

Well, I’m obliged to invite you to this reverence!

Look at your selves, through the macro-

microscope.  How far away, can we be seen

anyway?  The Heavens appear

to go on for an eternity!

We seem a bit microscopic within

our envelope of space.

Yet, we sense we’re not exactly obscure

in the fabric of a celestial purpose.

It appears our worth is beyond

measurement. Nonetheless, this shows us

where our proper perspectives are…In the Eye

of a magnificent God.

Perhaps, we all should be

in awe of this amazing

view.

“Psalms, gather

quietly in the loving

heart of a mother; yet

It echo’s loudly in the

eager ears of her little

children.”

“Nothing inspiring, ever

rusts from the inside. It shines

effortlessly on the outside of love.”
