Knock Knock
.
Knock knock who’s there
No riposte
Break the house
Remove the roof
Any-body home
Too soon
Un(in)formed mass
Upper class Grade A
Scrambled or fried, she cried

DANCING WITH THE MOON
Dancing with the Moon
Easter †
Easter †
When our God of Love in heaven above
Sent His Son to earth to bring us word
That we could be forever with Him
Without sin
Few believed the truth
Others were uncouth –
Crowned him with thorns,
Spat on Him, taunted Him,
Sniggered and scorned Him,
While He suffered on the cross
And died for us
BUT…
He rose again and went to heaven
Where he waits for us to join him
In His kingdom.
Jesus Comforts the Disciples
John 14:3
1Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4And where I go you know, and the way you know.

The Cutting Edge
Edited
.
The cutting edge,
Serrated, jagged, ragged,
Notched and pocked,
Can’t hurt as deep as
Tongues like swords
That pierce with words,
That lash like a *nine-tailed cat,
Wound right to the bone,
Gouge out the heart
And tear you apart.

* Cat o’ nine tails – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cat o’ nine tails, commonly shortened to the cat, is a type of multi-tailed whip that originated as an implement for severe physical punishment…
Our Journey
.
A gruelling journey
Over mountain crags,
Steep cliffs, wide clefts,
Waters-falling, echoes calling,
In sun and rain, arduous terrain,
Boulders, rocks, and stones,
A TAXing, TIRing test
Demanding our very best
To culminate in sucCESS.
If it were easy, stress-free,
Our victory would be worth-less.

The Edge of the World
.
Teetering on a tightrope
Hanging on a shelf
Grasp with frozen fingertips
While the moon hangs itself
Reality is become fiction
And fiction doesn’t exist
Solid ground falls away
Leaving space in its place
Heads spin on shoulders
Wi(l)de-eyed at far-off visions
Sense-less dreams of peace
On our bleeding earth

Anticipating Autumn
.
Summer’s leaves begin to fade,
Yellowed in the last hot sun;
Morning air is cool and fresh,
Autumn’s slow advance begun.
Growth slows, awaiting frost,
Nights grow longer, colder too,
Lengthened evenings by the fire
Give more time to spend with you.

Falling into Poetry
.
Falling into the arms of darkness,
Stilling my mind,
Distant dreams all but forgotten,
In the buSY-ness of life.
Taking a break,
Sharpening my brain,
Poetry underlies my every thought,
Inspires my every reflection, conception;
Creating in rhyme or rhythm
Feeds my very soul
And if it were forbidden
I would be far from whole.

Whispering Waves
.
The tide is out, rocks exposed, unclothed;
White whispering waves catch the first rays of the sun
As they run back and forth on silken sands.
Pools, left behind between rock spaces,
Shine like mirrors’ smooth faces,
Tranquil, serene…
Softly murmuring swells draw errant curls
Like a magnet into the main mass
And the sun slowly climbs, birthing a new day
While the tide gently turns to wash our steps away
As if we’d never been…
