The Great Divine

Tonight I heard the voice of God
Angelic voices from within
Tonight I took a gentle hand
And was forgiven
Of my sin

Tonight I left behind
The burdens of my bodied world
To one of familiar harmony
Of peace and times of old

No more restraints
Nor existing pain
I am the stars and sky
I am your breath
As you are mine
Forever shall I fly

For life is but a stepping stone
It is our love that binds
And we shall meet
To hold one near
In the great Divine.

Flavorless

Eat your plate of hopelessness
Drink your glass of whine
Feed upon unflavored guilt
With loneliness you dine

Hug the empty pillow
Love the emptiness
Get your ducks all in a row
With worry and unrest

Do not allow a happy thought
Or dream an undreamt dream
Stagnate in your darkened world
Scream a silent scream

Feast upon a tasteless life
Let no flavor in
Days will pass and quickly so
And soon your life will end

Moonlight Opera

The moon lights up the water
Casting reflections
Shadows tiptoe
A water dance ballet
To the accompaniment
Of an orchestra of wind and trees
A choir of woodland creatures
Sing in harmony
A grand performance
An opera for the stars

RAINBOW

Follow a ribbon of colorful sky
In search of a pot of gold
Open your eyes and you may see
The treasure, the gift is
Nature’s beauty

ALONE

She shuffles around
slippers and robe
listening to the silence
of her empty life
