The Whole Of It
Life 'tis but a vapor-
Heart and mind-as a star-
Body-a living dust-
Soul-energy from afar-
Complex in continuity-
A gathering of all parts-
Giving us our own idenity-
Ruled always by ones own heart-

Words
You treat my words
As if they were Sacred Text
Kneeling in Reverence
At my un-holy adjectives
In prayer at my altar
While candle flicker
Shadow flashes your face
Waiting for my sermon
Chapter and verse
Your prayers answered
With an: Amen!

~The Light~
The Light
Captures and awes
Encloses circles
Wraps
Us up
In fire warm
Shimmering cover
Much like
The heat
Of Summer
When everything
'Tis abloom
And dead becomes
Alive Golden Bright
Wrapped up in
The dazzling Sunbeams
Most all consuming
Light

Chameleon Stew
Well, it's leaping lizards
And chicken gizzards
In my left over stew
Oh my, what am i to do? ? ?
The chicken gizzard's are tough
The chewing is rough!
The chameleon's have again changed hue
Oh, what am i, to do, with this left over stew? ? ?

Blossoms Of May
May bloomed brilliant...
Wide eyed in blue skies
Dancing in daffodils and tulips
It's breeze-a gentle fragrance of mixtures
Embroidered in a colourful brocade of Spring sonnets
And embellished by the sweet warblers and their most melodious Psalms

God's Touch
My lips are moisted by Holy oil
The bath-a baptism of Love
Prepared as Eve in nakedness
Acknowledged by the wings of a Dove
Faith-Hope and Love
Came calling to my residential tent
It spoke to me in Divine Epiphany
Surely as an Angel Most heaven Sent

Earlier
Pre-heated before due time-
Pre-cooked for convenience sake-
Pre-mixed with Spices of Spring-
Pre-seasoned before the bake-
Pre-cooled so as not to burn-
Pre-pared for a king and Queen-
Pre-arranged for the Castles Ball-
Pre-selected for the perfect theme-

The Universe (An Acrostic)
~Sun~
Super bright
Ultra light
Never night
~Moon~
Mostly seen
On days in between
Only the new
And not often blue
~Stars~
Shining in the sky
Twinkling bright in my eye
Always glowing like a Firefly
Radiating splendour from high
Shining sparkles never die

~Spring Clues~
...A billowing, babbling brook
A winding moss and Stone Pebbled Lane
...Country-side Pastoral Visuals
Sprinklets of Soft March rain...
...Fields of Narcissus
Their Bulbs are in full Bloom...
... Spectrum-Yellow Butter-Golden...
Colours carry us on to June...

Walking On Egg Shells? ? ?
Carefully i tiptoe heedful not to allow-
My Cat astrophe to step on or irritate
Your Dog mas!
As many disasters are borne of
Many Cat aclysms!
Originating by many a sudden cat apult!
I opine, as i am continually dog ged-
By reading the dog gerels of grand bards.
