Rising Up

Awakened by loud noises
while contemplating the puzzle
 
A labyrinth of complications
invented by the mind
as it connects the various chambers
understandings and apparent facts
……………………………………………………..
 
Let me rise up, rise up above
let me see the pattern for what it is
 
Let the hunger of the heart be fed
with your manna, your love
……………………………………………….
 
Rise up, rise up
where the puzzle is but pattern
 
Rise up, rise up singing
in the dawning of my love…

Bouncy

Bouncy, bouncy
the baby jumped and jumped
up and down, bobbing and dancing
 
Squeaky spring loaded action
hanging from the doorway
 
Bouncy, bouncy, squeak
giggle, giggle, squeak
 
Quiet for a moment
then a flurry of more excitement
 
……………………………………………
 
I want one!

Dark Beauty

On wiles and impressivity
consider the tomato
—————————–
from a dark and deadly family
evolved beauty fragrant and lovely
 
Could this be enlightenment?
Strength and vibrance
in plump and youthful countenance
celebrating life with all it’s being
——————————
not really a vegetable
rather a noisy fruit
with poison leaves
and native ancestors

Beloved

Frumbly mumbly
mired in muddling thoughts
 
Or twinkly winkly
uplifted and light
 
The fact is you’re loved
the same huggly snuggly
 
Nurtured and beloved
night, day, light, dark, high, low
 
Ain’t that grand?
(Yeah, I think so, too!)

Carnation

the carnation is considered
a more plebian flower
 
far less expensive
than the rose
 
yet, it exudes an odor
most sweet and delightful
and intricately garbed in
colors bright and beautiful
 
sometimes, a carnation
will more than suffice

Plains of Love

In the company of horses
we can ride the plains of love

Seeking the one enthralling vista

where misted mountains
hug chilled and pristine lakes
Or on mundane Mondays
we can ride the dusty trail
past the old abandoned well
…………………………………………….
On a steed of strength and power
allowing free rein
we can experience the wildness
as we can gallop through unknown terrain
