Shadow on the Sun

~

In the eyes of day

When the world is bright

And all is right

A shadow glides

As the blackbird flies

Across the sun

Spring Break

I will be away for a week or so (taking on a new project),

but I will be back as soon as it is running smoothly…

Thank you all for your support.  I will miss you.

River of Life

~

It rises in the mountains;

Continually in motion

It flows towards the sea

Obeying the call of the ocean.

Steep cliffs are no constraint;

It flings itself over chasms

In scenic cascades and falls

Plunging into rainbows

To lie deep in pools below.

It snakes across the valleys,

Carves its path in stone

And races ‘cross rocky outcrops,

The water white with foam.

It bubbles over pebbles,

And gushes through the rushes,

It laps on sandy shores,

Its course, its flood, its flow

Sprays the land adjoining

To allow the crops to grow.

What…

.

What makes us rise above the mundane,

Circumstance or happenstance

That separates us from the urbane?

It is the Spirit within our soul

That raises us and makes us whole.

Vagabond

.

Golden vagabond

in a fishpond

aerodynamic shape

sleek and smooth

makes his escape

through dilute air

in a watery matrix

by means of

execu-tricks

Multi Sided

.

My heart is on the inside

But I sometimes wear it

On the outside of my sleeve

And then there’s the wrong side

Or the left side

And the right side

Looking on the dark side

Or the bright side

Being on the winning side

Not the losing side

Is the upside

Not the downside of life

Not to mention the blindside

When you fall in love

Is Love…

.

is love a fantasy

illusory

heart to heart

we stand

hand in hand

 

is it intoxication

where’s the authentication

i’m flying without a sound

and both feet on the  ground

Love

.

God is love

and so, as his children, are we

now that He has set us free

from the wages of sin

to place our trust in Him

with child-like faith

to live our life

and live His love

You

 .

The heart of my soul

Is a part of Your Whole

A spark of Your flame

A drop in Your sea

You are the God in me

Vampires

.

There are those who walk among us,

Thieves who bleed our vitality,

Pilfer our joy, fleece our contentment,

Then abandon us as they are –

Empty shells –

Poorer for having met them,

These vampires of the spirit,

These predators of the night.
