Wings of Spirit

Let thy spirit soar to
skies toward the clouds
to play on high

Capture sun rays on
spirit wings to glisten
where the birds do sing

Then will it toward the
earth to fall to speed
along earthen vale

That nature wrought with
love and might where your
spirit doth takes flight

Then direct your path to
oceans wide to collect
the sea salt in the tide

Take there your written
words abide within the
tides of time reside

Your spirit belongs to
you alone loving all
earth above and below

Inspiration struck when I visited my friend’s site in New Zealand and viewed a video she posted there called 2012 Year of Power. Thank you Marja for a beautiful site filled with ideas of wonder. I invite you to go to her site and see this video. See http://dutchcorner.blogspot.com and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Canvas Surreal

Dreams a window to the past
youth takes fancy to enfold the wise
wherein yesteryear is held hand fast
such as life in amber encased lies

People passing who feel and touch
across the miles time stands still
dimensional moment hourglass such
compared to a Dali canvas surreal

Reach out and speak a name suspended
seasons nought where nature’s free
physical being is supple and mended
reality exiled from the mind scape see

Nature’s Mirror

Filtered warmth reaches
out caressing window panes
roof tops in the dawn of
a chilling Fall morning

Yellow golden orb with
rays so real they feel as
a solid mass of butter a
tongue tasting delicious

Every surface a reflection
gleaming it’s majesty tinted
ecstasy held as in nature’s
mirror coveting it’s own

Tempura Sunset

Variegated hues of blues
spilling out across the
sky with yellows, oranges
and shades of watercolor
pinks following closely
behind painting the sunset
as tempura colors splashed
with bluest ice atop in a
transformation of edible
nature ready to be consumed
with eyes a delicious dessert
to end a busy Summer day

Another busy day and with a nearly complete kitchen remodel I now also have a nearly complete new small deck, where a once rickity old wooden porch once was. I glanced out of the window and saw an awesome sunset. This comes somewhat close to the colors I saw…not my sunset but wonderful just as mine was.

The Poet Will Remain

Dominions bereft of peace to
fill humanities’ soul whilst
hunger takes children’s lives
the next generation nill

Amidst all this the
Poet will remain

Tidal waves of destruction on
precipice the storms awaiting
advent taking all nature’s
beasts of earth, sky living

Amidst all this the
Poet will remain

Pier Back In Time

Photo by www.city-data.com

Walking on the pier Time Warp enclosed with
large grooves carved into wooden planks a
reminder of nature’s wind holding salt sea
that polishes bits of broken glass into
smooth, small treasures waiting to be found

Amusement park rides standing idle like
remants of giants waiting for their fares that
never come, a ferris wheel, bumper cars in
back of gift shops with dusty shelves selling
funnel cakes, ice cream and cotton candy

Buildings unpainted, the aquarium beneath a
merry go ’round still running with the sounds
of the Wurlitzer playing, the horses like animal
mannigans going up and down with children and
older people alike all with smiles laughing

Fishermen stand idle and a black man makes
his puppet dance to the sounds of music
faintly heard on the wind coming from the boom
box while ladies in dresses promenade and
aging couples and youth walk by holding hands
