A wish upon a star

A wish upon a star, so light without a scar, i ploughed behind, though far..., so long within our bar, what light through yonder window breaks? yet amidst the gleeful tarn, i wouldn't take a steer, grinning i bear it , like nothing is wrong, and i will thank that star forever for making our wish come true, reaching out to the sky blue, blessed be that star that gloweth our merge.

Through Hands Of Time

‘Early in the morning, just around supper time.’
Contrasts are good, to make children laugh.
There is something in an opposing rhyme.
Which appeals to a gleeful childhood mind.

There are wise lessons learned in nursery rhymes.
Morals taught best with humour as they ought.
Powerful wonderful images, a child’s mind binds.
Ancient teaching passed down, through hands of time.

Enter the Sanctuary

To find love I must enter into the sanctuary where it is hidden, which is the mystery of God.
Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation:

Deep in the tangle of branch and leaf
I move to the core, to the dark shaft
that draws life up from the muddy ground

to blooms sprung to being
by the ascendant sun,
open, imbibing morning light
like new wine, drunk with love.

Here I seek you
in your green sanctuary,
hiding, gleeful,
anxious to be found.

Nature dresses my thoughts in finest Melodies

Nature erects a stage in me
And dances in gleeful abandon!

From all corners of my heart
Like a soft-breasted cuckoo
Floods me with sweet fluid calls!

She decorates my chest
With garlands of poems
Strung in lovely language.!

Blessing wings
To my colourful fancies
Launches forth
In playful winds!

Holding arms,
Demanding dance
She dips me
In ecstasy pure!

Virgin Snow

There it lay, crisp and white

Fresh and pure from the fall last night

hear the gleeful squeals of children at play

Eyes bright at the sight

of untrodden virgin snow

Small feet kick the dusting white

carefree play in their colours so bright

small foot prints follow

the games they play

in virgin snow of that day

CareFree~

Come dance me into silly-
Perhaps, a preposterous interlude...
Maybe, even a Devil-May Care attitude
Or a Reckless Abandon altitude;
Fly me to higher elevations -
To the spire of the mount
Where air is lighter than the ether
Where scruples & character don't count;
Let us become just a vapor...
Translucent souls of light, entwined
Dance me into joyful & gleeful
Embrace me with: KIND;
Giggle me into near rediculous-
Numb my worries of this day...
Two-step me into utterly delerious
Turn my December into a full bloom of May;

The Fragile Life Of Humans

A young mother
And a six year old daughter
Were crossing a busy intersection
To go to a public library.
The small girl was dancing
All gleeful and happy
On her way to check out books,
But her mother was walking slowly
With delicate, painful steps and required a cane.
I pondered what was the reason for this?
She is thirty at the most!
Perhaps, she suffered a car accident,
Maybe a sports-related injury,
Maybe a birth defect,
But it made me all heartbroken and sad
And I wanted to cry
For the fragile life of humans.

Rat Attack

Rat fear
Rat near
Bright black eyes
French fries
Meat pies
Wall walkers
Human stalkers
Rat night
Rat fright

Rat fear
Rat near
Human waste
Dirty place
Gleeful face
Boy with club
Dull thud
Rat dies
Rat prize

I Never Thought

with the scent of my forest and trees lushing
by the side of my three mountains
i have given you the hint to follow me
where we can be happy

i wish upon a potion of immortality
i will give it to you as you promise to stay with me
through and through

i promise you my flesh and bones and spirit
and i thought you believe me

with all these, gleeful sands, and delighting waves of the blue seas
and green leaves glistening from the trees, all these

who in the world would have believed that i would still lose you?

i am blind now and i do not see
my lips are sealed and i cannot speak

The Three Roses

When the buds began to burst,
Long ago, with Rose the First
I was walking; joyous then
Far above all other men,
Till before us up there stood
Britonferry's oaken wood,
Whispering, "Happy as thou art,
Happiness and thou must part."
Many summers have gone by
Since a Second Rose and I
(Rose from the same stem) have told
This and other tales of old.
She upon her wedding day
Carried home my tenderest lay:
From her lap I now have heard
Gleeful, chirping, Rose the Third.
Not for her this hand of mine
Rhyme with nuptial wreath shall twine;
Cold and torpid it must lie,
Mute the tongue, and closed the eye.
